If you thought your mum was hard to buy for in March, Father’s Day might pose an even bigger challenge.
You want your gift to be thoughtful, surprising, and unique. But most of all, you want to show the father-figure in your life just how much you appreciate them. Luckily, finding the perfect gift for the smartest, funniest, most discerning of dads doesn’t have to be as problematic as it sounds.
First up, tips for buying a Father’s Day gift include:
- Shop early: Don’t leave it to the last minute and end up panic-buying.
- Be creative: Think outside the box (so, beyond food and booze) with your gift choices. - Don’t forget a card: A memory-making card will be the perfect addition to your gift.
- Remember the date: Sunday 18 June 2023. Get it in your diary now!
To make things super simple, we’ve put together some of the best Father’s Day gift ideas for dads, stepdads, father-in-laws, grandads, uncles, partners who’ve just become dads, and anyone else you want to say thank you to…
For the coffee drinker
If your dad needs a caffeine kick start in the morning (who doesn’t?), then some kind of coffee receptacle is a sure-fire win. Not too pricey, and plenty to choose from. A classic ceramic mug? Or an eco-friendly travel cup for a hit when he’s on the go.
For ‘outdoorsy’ dads
Does your dad spend his weekends wading through rivers and scrambling up hillsides? If he loves getting out and about, then make sure he does it in style. A pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses will give him a sharp retro look wherever he goes – out fishing, hiking or just ambling around town.
For the homebody
Not all dads like to be busy, busy; some take a more laid-back approach to life. If your dad enjoys staying in, kit him out with some comfy – but classy – looks. This set of stripy socks by Paul Smith are sure to please. As will new PJs or slippers. Pull together a few items to create a thoughtful self-care package.
For the BBQ hero
Summer is officially here, and so too is BBQ season. If your dad is a dab hand in the kitchen, take his next al fresco party up a level with a barbecue-inspired gift. Tom Kerridge’s Modern Barbecue Bible is full of yummy inspo. Or, go the whole hog and get him a new gas barbie, charcoal grill or smoker.
For the gadget lover
Don’t just go for any old gadget, instead find tech that will make a real difference to your dad’s life. Music could sound so much better through a smart speaker, a new smart watch could be the motivation he needs to get fit, or a GoPro camera could help capture his next adventure.
For the always-running-late dad
Some people don’t have a problem getting places on time. Others do. If your dad falls into the latter category, it’s time to take action. A smart new timepiece – like this Men’s Bracelet Watch by HUGO – is just the thing. It’s the gift that keeps on giving – style, sophistication and never being late for a lunch date with you again!
