It’s no secret that a lot of dads love Bond. Father of two, and the incumbent CIA agent Felix Leiter, Jeffrey Wright, recently doubled-down on his Bond fandom saying “The way this thing [Bond] has been managed over time is unique.” And he’s not alone in this assessment. Dads all over the world have found something to love about the utterly ridiculously exploits of James Bond, which is probably partially connected to the fact that Bond tells the best Dad Joke puns of all time.

Whether you’re shopping for a last-minute Father’s Day present, just getting a dad a gift for fun, or you’re a guy who wants to treat yourself to some 007 swag, here’s some cool Bond stuff to snag, that might not be on your spy radar.
