We hope you enjoy this list… of completely unattainable, unaffordable, unbelievably perfect presents…

If you had all the money in the world at your disposal (or a fair chunk of cash at least), what would you get your Dad for Father’s Day? Here at JOE HQ we’ve compiled this wishlist of wonderful gifts that, if money were no object, we’d love to get our Papa… although we’ll probably just end up getting him a pair of socks. Again.

Water Jet Pack – €50,000

“Dad, can we go to the beach, pleeeeeeease!?” After purchasing your Father this wonderful Water Jet Pack you’ll be begging him to take you to the beach/lake/muddy puddle outside your house to go for a spin in this James Bond-like great gadget…

The machine is guaranteed to lift you 30 feet into the air, speed you along at 30mph and also make you the most popular person in town.*

*There’s no actual guarantee you’ll be the most popular person in town, but your Dad probably will.

Shark Power Boat – €48,000

Sure if you’re at the beach/lake/still splashing around in that muddy puddle outside of your house, then you and your Dad might as well go for a spin in this ultimate diving machine, the super Seabreacher, complete with its very own shark graphics at the front… and an iPod docking station, probably so your film fanatic Father can play the Jaws soundtrack as he skims along the water.

In fact, here’s a list of all of the boat’s incredible features…

Redesigned shark style body, fully vectored jet nozzle for increased maneuverability, high performance, low profile wings and elevators, underwater view ports (mouth shaped), tinted drag boat style canopy, front and rear LCD screens display live video from snorkel mounted camera, marine audio system with iPod/iPhone docking station (told you), custom paint job, fully customized upholstered interior and custom powder coated hardware.

Ford Mustang Pool Table – €7,500

That’s right, you heard us correctly, a Ford Mustang Pool Table. Sweety Jeebus in Heaven.

Because your Dad got you those driving lessons for your 18th birthday, you can (not really) pay him back with this custom-made, legendary 1965 Ford Mustang Pool Table. The table even comes with real chrome bumpers, working head lights and real wheels… handy for whenever your Dad kicks your ass in a game and you want to make a quick getaway…

Personal Mech Warrior – €1,000,000

Has your Dad installed a state of the art alarm system in your home? Maybe he’s considered adopting a guard dog to keep a watchful eye over you and your siblings as you sleep at night?

Well, you can forget about both of those options as you’ll obviously be buying your Dad his very own personalised Mech Warrior, available at a snip for around the one million Euro mark. Ha!

This. Is. Class.

More info available here.

And last, but most certainly not least, Kim Basinger (from My Stepmother Is An Alien) – Priceless

Sorry Mammy.

The film’s terrible. The leading lady is not. And trust us, your Dad will be VERY happy…
