Whilst it seems unlikely, some of us do actually manage to find a member of the opposite sex (or same sex - whatever floats your boat) who is actually enamoured by our nerdiness... in my case my wife tolerates it (mostly cos I fix her laptop and spreadsheets for work). Sometimes we're even lucky enough that we spawn offspring that may end up being as nerdy as us and in recognition of those lucky few here's some gifts that might go down well with the Nerd Dad on Fathers Day.
The 8-bit Tie
Because Dad's have day jobs and sometimes pocket protectors aren't quite enough to demonstrate just how big a nerd you are. This tie comes in a pixelated 8-bit style in either red or blue and can be found at ThinkGeek
Can also be teamed with the 8-bit Sunglasses for the full retro effect.
Jedi Bath Robe
 Allow Dad to act out his Star Wars dreams with this luxurious Jedi Bath Robe styled like the one worn by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars (the original with Sir Alec Guinness not Ewan McGregor).
Available from ThinkGeek it also comes in Sith style for the Dad with a bit of a dark side.
GeekDad Book
This 272 page tome of awesomeness comes filled to the brim with a host of activities and projects for you and your Nerd Dad so he can share his love of all stuff nerdy with you and you can learn something (cos we all know the school system nowadays isn't quite what it used to be).
Worth picking up if only for the Cyborg Jack-O-Lanterns and the 'Best Slip and Slide Ever' from Amazon.
If you enjoy this consider picking up the companion books in the series.
Sex Panther Aftershave
Your Nerd Dad probably has plenty of aftershave but none quite like Sex Panther from Firebox.com!!! It's illegal in nine countries*, it's made with bits of real panther**, and 60% of the time it works every time***
It's probably best that you don't buy your Dad this unless you seriously want a little brother or sister and you don't mind early bed times with your head buried under the pillow.
*This is made up
** I hope this is made up
*** It's like Old Spice on steroids so this is probably true (and no-one needs to be on a horse)
Gourmet Coffee
Not just any gourmet coffee, this is Civet Coffee (or Kopi Luwak) which is guaranteed not to taste like shit despite the fact it's made from beans extracted from the poop of the Sumatran Civet. Responsibly sourced from free range Civet's (that's right - someone gets paid to go searching through cat crap for these beans) and then delicately roasted this is one of the most expensive coffee blends in the world.
Make Dad's day, give him a cup of shit coffee from Firebox.com
Zombie Experience Day
If your Dad's one of those who never misses an episode of The Walking Dead (and who would to be fair... it's an awesome show!) but mutters his way through it about being able to survive a zombie apocalypse? Then give him a chance to prove it with a Zombie Experience Day from Wish.co.uk
Send him to Zombie Bootcamp to learn how to fight the undead horde then relax safe in the knowledge that should the dead rise and start snacking on your nearest and dearest Dad will be well equipped to save you from becoming a Happy Meal with legs.
