in case nothing tickled your fancy off my prior list

Clothes Climbing Robot. Ah how much fun this could be at parties.
A nice Hasselblad medium format camera — hey they’ve cut prices!
More realistically, something to challenge the mind from this list of book recos
Love puzzles, and really love these puzzles

Again I am running way ahead of the number of progeny I have.

No way your father has any of these…

LED showerhead with remote control. Wrong on so many levels.
Barking USB Dog. Just because you can make something, doesn’t mean you should.
RoadKill Rug. High fashion in parts of West Virginia.
DIY Liquid Nitrogen Generator. A thousand and one uses.
The Thing Quarterly. No need to pick out an unusual useless trinket for your dad, let The Thing send him one regularly.
Screw the Weber grill, get him a Fuego modular outdoor kitchen

Awesome Studio Mango rugs. Love the asymmetry.
Hometown Jigsaw Puzzle. Would order one but 2-3 weeks for production…
Compartes Chocolates. Not really a chocolate fan but these are just so great looking…
Blue shift bumper sticker. Geek humour.
Tyler Cowen’s book list. His recos have a high hit rate.
Pocket Ref book. If Kurt recos, it will be good.
3d power plug. Doesn’t exist but if it did…
Cole-Bar Hammer. OK I only drive about 30 nails a year but still this looks like a winner.
LED Bed. Looks like effective birth control to me.
Motif cube. Looks puzzle-ish but isn’t.
Power Plug with USB. Way underpriced.
