Gamer Dad Mug

About this design

By day he packs lunches and finds lost shoes. After 8:30 p.m. he defends the galaxy, one quiet level at a time. For the dad who saves his gaming for after the kids are finally asleep.

A teal game controller with a dark D-pad and round buttons in cream, gold, red and orange sits at the top, outlined in cream. Below, “GAMER DAD” is set in heavy cream slab-serif letters outlined in red, then “SAVING THE WORLD” in spaced cream capitals and “AFTER BEDTIME” in big gold type.

Late-night coffee or tea in this mug keeps him going for one more mission.

Who it's for

Father's Day, a birthday and Christmas are the natural occasions, and it's a funny new-dad gift for someone about to learn how short gaming sessions get. It's even better coming from the kids, who know exactly where Dad goes after bedtime.

Questions

Is this a good gift for a new dad who games?

Yes. After bedtime is about to become his entire gaming schedule.

Does the controller match a specific console?

No, it's a generic retro-style controller, so it suits gamers on any platform.

Is the design on both sides of the mug?

Yes. The design is printed on both sides, so it faces out whether the mug is held in the left hand or the right.
