16 Great Gifts for the Cool Dad on Your Block

If your father is the curmudgeon who grumbles when you walk by his seat because you're getting in the way of his TV time, then by all means feel free to give him little more than the requisite ice cream cake and tie for Father's Day.

However, if he was the kind of dad who let you borrow the car when he shouldn't, who looked the other way when you were out till 4 a.m., who would greatly benefit from having his own keg cooler (like the Heineken BeerTender, pictured left) then we have a list of goodies to consider buying him.

While the usual categories for Father's Day include BFG -- baseball, fishing and grilling -- we went out on a limb and thought about some of the awesome fathers we know who are fans of air guitar and/or steampunk.
