Winter is Coming’s Game of Thrones Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father’s Day is around the corner, and you may be wondering what you can get your dear old dad to remind him that you care.

You know what else is around the corner? Game of Thrones season 7. Why not combine those two things and get dad a Game of Thrones-themed gift? It’s not wise to ignore synergy when it calls out like this.

But wait, what if your father has never seen Game of Thrones? We can solve that with the first item on our list: the complete Game of Thrones seasons 1-6 boxset.

Just try to get him to stop talking about dragons and Valyrian steel and red witches after he powers through that.

And what goes perfect with a binge watch? Alcohol, which can be served in this badass Legends of the Swords Game of Thrones Dragon Mug Tankard (13oz).

Anyway, if your dad is further along in his Game of Thrones journey, why not expand his horizons and get him the complete A Song of Ice and Fire book set?

And what goes perfect with a binge read? Alcohol, which can be served in this set of Game of Thrones shot glasses, each of them emblazoned with a sigil from a different Great House of Westeros.

Now, after your dad gets into Game of Thrones, he’s going to want to incorporate it into other parts of his life. It’s only natural. That might include barbecue, in which case this “Dinner is Coming” Game of Thrones apron could be useful.

Sticking with dinner, you could gift your dad with this “Dinner is Coming” Game of Thrones cutting board…

…or these salt and pepper shakers modeled after Stark and Lannister map markers.

And what goes perfect with dinner? Alcohol, which can be served in this “I Drink and I Know Things” Game of Thrones beer glass…

…or this “I Drink and I Know Things” Game of Thrones stemless wine glass.

Does it seem like we’re implying that your dad has a drinking problem? We don’t mean to. Sorry.

If he’s starting to get that idea from you, what better way to make amends than by getting him this “Father of Dragons tee-shirt?

And if he’s the Father of Dragons, that makes you a dragon, and that’s pretty cool.

Or if your dad lives in a colder climate, he might prefer this zip-up Game of Thrones hoodie, featuring the sigils of Houses Targaryen, Stark and Lannister on the back.

Is your dad always looking for something to listen to during his runs, or his golf games, or during other stereotypical dad activities? The official Game of Thrones soundtrack could be the answer.

For gifts you can enjoy as father-and-child, consider a pack of Game of Thrones playing cards. Because when you play the game of cards, you win or…you know how it goes.

And for dads who prefer their game nights a little more intense, there’s always Game of Thrones Risk, which is probably as close as most people on this planet will ever get to actually being on the show…thank god.

If you’ve gotten this far down the list, we can only assume it’s because none of the gifts featured have up to the standard set by your father’s deep love of the show. For that, there’s only solution: a letter-opener modeled after Longclaw, Jon Snow’s Valyrian steel sword.

Or is that not extreme enough? In that case, you can always go with a 45” reproduction prop reproduction of the sword itself.

Is your dad a geography buff? Then he might enjoy The Lands of Ice and Fire, a collection of maps depicting different parts of the world of Game of Thrones.

Let’s circle back to that drinking problem your dad doesn’t have. He can’t drink alcohol all the time. And for those times, he might appreciate a Game of Thrones coffee mug modeled after the promotional materials for the show’s sixth season.

And of course, what good is a Game of Thrones coffee mug — or Game of Thrones drink-ware in general — without a Game of Thrones coaster?

So your dad’s read the books and watched the show and still wants more Game of Thrones. If you’re in that very probable scenario, get him a copy of Telltale’s Game of Thrones videogame series, where he’ll try to restore the fortunes of the unfortunate House Forrester and interact with major characters from the story.

Telltale’s series is also available for PlayStation 4, Android, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows and iOS.

Finally, take your dad into Westeros’ past with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, an illustrated book that includes the first three novella’s in George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg series.

May your Father’s Day be a happy one.
