Gift Ideas for the World of Warcraft Dad (Page 1 of 2)
Forget boring old mugs and t-shirts with “no.1 dad!” hastily scribbled across, todays dad is tech savvy and media hungry, and more than anything, he’s a gamer.
You want to show him you love him and you want to avoid that look of masked utter disappointment that flashes across his face when he unwraps yet another bundle of socks or car magazines, so listen up, and listen good to our great gift ideas for WoW-mad dads!
Clothing:
Unless you really, really know his tastes in clothing, you might want to steer clear of World of Warcraft shirts and jackets.
The quality of WoW-related merchandise varies wildly, some looks great, and is beautifully understated in its design, while others proclaim proudly from the rooftops, “Yes, I play World of Warcraft, and I love it”. You’ll need to know what kind of fan your dad or husband is before getting some WoW-clothing, as he might not appreciate the boys knowing about his super-secret hobby when he sets of to have a beer at poker night.
That said, accessories like rings, trinkets and other types of er, man-jewelry are probably really safe, especially since such items are usually understated enough anyway that you can’t really go wrong. Nothing says “For the Horde!” like a pair of classy ogre-ish earrings (I kid).
A Dwarvish pendant here, some Alliance runes there, you’d be surprised just how naturally a lot of the patterns and motifs found in the artwork of WoW’s various factions fit into a nice piece of jewelry like a manly silver ring or pendant.
If you’re having trouble finding exactly what you’d like, consider screen capping a motif from the game and having a jeweler or metalsmith inscribe it for you, you’ll have a beautiful, unique gift with instant geek street cred. It’s worth noting that the same applies to clothing, if you’re looking for something unique and obscure, find a pattern or motif, and have it silk-screened onto a tee.
Books, comics and magazines:
Is your dad a bookworm? You might want to consider a World of Warcraft novel then. From newer titles like Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, and World of Warcraft: Stormrage, all the way back to classics like Cycle of Hatred, it’s apparent that World of Warcraft and its various expansions have a surprisingly rich literary history. Sure, it’s not Tolkien, but the books are sufficiently well written, entertaining, and are steeped in the mythology and history of Azeroth in a way that’s only hinted at in the game itself.
If dad’s more of a visual kinda guy that grew up on the pages of Marvel and DC, there’s a pretty cool ongoing series of books titled World of Warcraft: Alliance that’s worth picking up, as well as a number of trade paperback style graphic novels that are well written and well drawn.
Software:
What games can you really get someone who’s obsessed with World of Warcraft? Warcraft III, that’s what!
If your dad hasn’t had the pleasure of playing this delightfully polished precursor to Blizzard’s magnum opus, then he’s in for a wonderful surprise.
