Funny Gifts for Dad: Christmas 2026 Mugs and Tees He'll Actually Use

Shopping for funny gifts for Dad this Christmas? We feel your pain. Ask him what he wants and you will get "nothing", "a quiet life" or "don't waste your money on me". None of those fit in a stocking, so here are some gifts he will actually use, and laugh at, every single day.

Every mug and tee below is designed by us at RkDesignCompany and printed to order. There are dad jokes, Still Game classics, office humour and a few gentle digs about getting older. Something for every type of dad, grandad and father-in-law, in other words.

Dad joke gifts (groans guaranteed)

If your dad has a pun for every occasion, lean into it. These are the gifts that let him tell his favourite jokes without even opening his mouth.

1. Dad Jokes mug

Every family has an official household comedian, and this is his badge of office. The Dad Jokes mug is for the man who has told the same cheese pun every Christmas since 1997 and sees no reason to stop now. 11oz ceramic, dishwasher and microwave safe. £11.99.

2. Frayed Knot mug

A piece of string walks into a bar. "Are you a string?" "No, I'm a frayed knot." If that made you groan, congratulations: you are ready to buy the Frayed Knot mug. Now he can deliver the punchline with his morning coffee. £11.99.

3. Frayed Knot t-shirt

Same joke, now wearable. The Frayed Knot t-shirt is 100% ringspun cotton in white or black, sizes S to 2XL. Ideal for barbecues, boat trips and any situation where he can explain the joke to strangers. £22.99.

4. Whitney Houston dad joke t-shirt

A Whitney song title turned into the kind of pun only a dad could love. The Whitney Houston Dad Joke t-shirt is for the dad who still thinks his karaoke is a gift to the nation. £22.99.

Still Game gifts for dads and grandads

If he quotes Jack and Victor at every family gathering, these are a safe bet. Want more Craiglang? See our full Still Game gift guide.

5. Still Game: Winston, King of Leccy mug

Does he prowl the house switching off lights and gasp at the energy bill? He is the King of Leccy. The Winston King of Leccy mug is the most accurate gift you will ever buy him. £11.99.

6. Still Game: Nae Points mug

For the dad who judges your parking, your tea and your boyfriend. The Nae Points mug lets him score everything without saying a word. There is a Nae Points t-shirt too. £11.99.

7. Still Game: Eric and Bobby "Shut your hole!" mug

Some dads end arguments with a calm, reasoned point. Others reach for the "Shut your hole!" mug. Craiglang's finest, ready for the Boxing Day debate. £11.99.

Gifts for office dads

For the dad who works hard, moans harder and needs a decent mug for his desk. All of these are safe for the office. For more, see our Office Safe Funny Mugs collection.

8. Another Meeting That Could Have Been An Email mug

For the office dad who has sat through one too many Teams calls. The Another Meeting That Could Have Been An Email mug says it for him, politely enough to leave on his desk. £11.99.

9. Biscuit Dunkability mug

Dads take biscuit dunking very seriously. The Biscuit Dunkability mug settles the debate about which biscuit survives the longest, so he can stop doing "research" with the good packet. £11.99.

For husbands, grandads and dads getting on a bit

A little light teasing about marriage and age. Nothing too harsh, as he is the one carving the turkey.

10. A Wise Married Man Once Said mug

Every husband has said something he immediately regretted. The A Wise Married Man Once Said mug leaves the rest of the sentence to his imagination (and Mum's raised eyebrow). It is also available as a t-shirt. £11.99.

11. I Might Be Old mug

He might be old, but he still knows better. Just ask him. The I Might Be Old mug is perfect for dads with a big birthday on the way, or grandads who have been "about to retire" for years. £11.99.

12. Living Proof Wisdom mug

Wisdom, mostly, is just surviving long enough to give advice nobody asked for. The Living Proof Wisdom mug gives him a well-earned pat on the back and a gentle dig at the grey hairs. £11.99.

Mug or t-shirt?
