What Dads Really Want for the Holidays
Posted on 12 08, 2007 under Her by Noodad |
We know that despite our best efforts, there are chicks visiting our site and reading our articles. You ladies just can’t help it can you? Like the scene in Porky’s you just can’t help look through the peephole to the locker room. Ok, maybe that was just us guys in high school that dreamt of the girl’s locker room.
Regardless, while you are here, we may as well use you to our advantage. After all, the holidays are right around the corner and you probably want to know what we want.
Here are a few ideas:
Nintendo Wii
If you don’t have one, the odds are your dude wants one. If you have kids, the odds are they want one too. So consider it a family gift. Videogames ain’t just for boys anymore. It’s got major street cred and the Wii actually appeals to people of all ages. Bust one of these out Christmas morning and your dude will do whatever you want. Need more convincing? Check this out.
Guitar Hero 3
So GH3 isn’t out for the Wii yet, but if you are a PS3 or XBox household, Guitar Hero 3 is the perfect gift. Every guy is a Rock God just waiting to break out. We would have been huge too until you made us cut off our mullets, throw out our black concert tee shirts and replace our Motorhead CDs with Sesame Street. GH3 will have us sporting double vikings for a long time.
Fishboy Gear
Funny tshirts are the uniform for dads. Fishboy shirts are the perfect blend of humor, fishing, beer, and talking big game. Hint: the Upschitz Creek ones are top notch.
Rocky: The Complete Saga
Rocky is the man. The way he busted up Mr. T (Clubber Lang) and then came back, pulled a plow in 5 feet of snow in Russia and then kicked Drago’s butt for America? That was bad ass. Now you can get the entire saga in one boxed set. Does he already have Rocky? You can substitute Rambo for Rocky too.
Beer Homebrew Kit
Never get in between a man and his brew. Why not get him off the couch and have him do something productive? Like brew his own beer? These sets are way more legit than the ones you used to see. No need to sacrifice the guest bathtub for his beermaking exploits. Maybe, he will name his beer after you!
Customized NFL Jerseys
Anyone can sport a jersey with “Manning”, “Brady”, or “Tomlinson” on it. But only your husband can sport the Finklestein name proudly on the back of a jersey of his favorite team.
Any of these gifts are sure to impress. Oh, and wearing lingerie and sexual favors never hurt either.
Come on noodads, add to this list in the comments section so you can get what you really want. And for you guys who need some ideas for your wives, check out motherwords for some ideas.

The Gadget dad probably wants
Garmin Nuvi 300 series or 600 series.
iPod touch
Also just because he has a Wii doesn't mean you can't surprise him with an XBOX 360 or a PS3... Just spent the extra few bucks and don't get the smallest PS3. It does not play PS2 or PS1 games like the others do.

DVDs - If your guy likes old movies and John Wayne, you can't go wrong with The John Wayne/John Ford Box Set (you don't need to know who John ford is, if your dude is into movies, he will)...available at amazon.
A Dresser-top Valet/Charging Station. keeps all of his gadgets cords neat and good ones have drawers to store watches, pens, change... Everyone has their own version this year...it's a hot item. Check Brookstone, Red Envelope, etc.
Bose Noise Canceling Headphones - Available in on ear or over the ear versions (although ReviewDad's bro who works at Bose says to go with the over the ear version). I he flies for work, he needs these.
