Quirky Father’s Day Cards That’ll Crack a Smile and Change a Life

Quirky Father’s Day Cards That’ll Crack a Smile and Change a Life

Dad doesn’t need another multi-tool. He’s still working out the last one.

So this year, skip the socks, ditch the mugs, and give him something with actual impact (and a decent punchline).

Oxfam Unwrapped’s quirky Father’s Day cards are funny, thoughtful and fund life-changing projects around the world. From toilet paper to ducks, each card comes with a cheeky message and a real donation to someone who needs it.

So whether your dad’s a pun enthusiast, a goat lover, or just impossible to shop for, we’ve got the kind of card he’ll remember. And not just because it features a chicken in a hat.

Let’s take a look at the funniest, weirdest, most heartwarming Father’s Day cards you can give — and why they do a whole lot more than make him laugh.

Why a funny card is the perfect Father’s Day gift

Dads are tricky to buy for. They say they don’t want anything. They shrug off suggestions. Then they go and buy whatever it is themselves.

But one thing most dads appreciate? A good laugh. Especially the kind that comes with a side of meaning.

That’s why a funny Father’s Day card isn’t just a last-minute option — it’s a small-but-mighty gift in its own right. One that says, “I see you, I get your sense of humour, and I wanted to do something good in your name.”

Whether it’s a goat joke, a toilet paper pun, or a duck that funds a just livelihood, a charity card with personality hits the sweet spot. It’s lighthearted but thoughtful. Quirky but kind.

So if your dad’s the type who appreciates a clever quip more than a novelty tie, you’re in the right place. These cards aren’t just funny, they fund real-world change. And that’s something to smile about.
