Father's Day is coming up around the bend, which means it's time to buy a thoughtful gift for the guy who taught you how to throw a baseball, tie a tie and get discreetly inebriated at family functions. There was a time when you could make him a lame book of coupons filled with scraps of paper that promised to do things like "mow the lawn" or "take out the trash," but you're a little older now, and your dad probably spends his days cursing the tens of thousands he's shelled out on your college education, legal bills and numerous other incidentals that have piled up over a childhood well spent.

So how to repay the man who taught you everything? It's a big question, so we asked some of our friends around the Internet for some Father's Day gift suggestions.

With Leather
18-Ounce German Glass Boot ($19.95)

You know your dad has always wanted to consume alcohol out of a glass boot. Well, now he can! With this glass boot, your dad is bound to be the Übermensch at your next alcohol-friendly family function. Or he can just reenact scenes from his favorite Jay Chandrasekhar movie! This German-style stein holds 18 ounces of a beverage of your choice. Just don't try to put it on! Your father already has more money than you do. Spite him with something cheap, useful, and dishwasher safe!

Walyou
Personal Steak Branding Iron ($15)

Every man loves his steak done his way and would just love this branding iron. With it, any chef could customize a word or short phrase and make sure that their steak is known as their steak without any mistake.

American Mustache Institute
Yodeling Pickle ($11.36)

For my dollar, nothing says, "I love you, Dad," quite like either your son growing a mustache at age 7 or, secondarily, a yodeling pickle. Never heard a pickle yodel? Well, it's quite a treat. A yodeling pickle has multiple uses -- yodeling, pickling and troll dancing.

Current Comedy
320-Ounce Box of Charleston Oysters ($59.38)

I was prowling eBay to find something to get for my dad, then I stumbled upon this gem: 320 ounces of Charleston Seafood Oysters. That is 20 lbs. of shellfish! It's the gift that keeps on giving. Your dad can cook these fellas up (with all that curry powder you bought him last year), then crush the shells and turn them into jewelry, just in time for your mom's birthday. Your dad will love it! (May require refrigeration.)

StyleCrave:
Beer of the Month Club Subscription ($20.98 and up)

Is your dad the beer drinkin' type? This gift will not only make his Father's Day, but it'll keep on giving every month after that. The Beer of the Month Club sends 12 beers a month from breweries around the world directly to Dad's doorstep. From $20.98 a month, you can choose from 12 domestic beers, 12 international beers or a mix of both. Cheers!
