Are you struggling to find something perfect for Father’s Day? It probably feels like you’ve ran out of ideas over the years and that they’re impossible to buy for. I find there’s a couple of top tricks to curate the best present for someone. One way is to buy in threes; get something they need, something they’ll want but wouldn’t buy for themselves, and something silly and daft for a bit of fun. The other way is to take something about them or something they love and personalise it. Maybe they love golf and they need a new golf hat or a towel? By getting it personalised it creates a lovely heartfelt gift that they’ll actually use. Take a scroll through this gift guide for Father’s Day and by the end I'm sure you’ll be bubbling over with ideas and a fresh perspective. 

Best Gifts For a Garden Dad

If your dad is someone who takes pride in his garden, treat him with something that will bring a bit of him into the place. A proper garden is one that has quirks and personality. 

We love our little plant pot men and so do our customers! They’re really popular and a great gift for not just dads but for everyone. The great thing about these is that they can be engraved so whether you’ll want to put a heartfelt message on him or give the little lad a name, either way personalising a gift makes it look special and that you’ve put a lot of thought into it.

Something along the same lines is our cheeky garden gnomes. Give your dad a good laugh and add some personality to his garden with something that everyone will love when they visit.

If your dad loves his garden but more specifically his shed, a good quality set of tins for bits and bobs to keep everything in his space in its place is a gift he’ll really appreciate.

Best Gift For a Sport-Loving Dad

 

A football/rugby/Formula One dad will be firmly planted in their chair when it’s time to watch TV. Something they’ll always need is a mug for their tea or coffee whilst they’re watching the sport they love. And to be honest, you can never really have too many mugs because they’re always in the dishwasher!

Best Gifts For a Chef Dad

If your dad is in his element in the kitchen, a great little gift is a sign recognising who’s boss when it comes to cooking. You could even pair it with something silly like a chef’s hat. When creating a gift sometimes it starts with a simple idea like ‘my dad loves to cook’ but then you expand on it and turn it into a thoughtful, funny, and heartfelt gift that shows how much you know him.

Or if you want to upgrade your dad’s kitchen and get him something he can use, try a cheese board or a pizza board. These are a great gift if your dad is always putting extra care and attention into how his dishes look. And isn’t that cheese board just so cute!

Best Gifts For an Office Dad 

Gift your dad something for him to take pride in his desk with. If he’s always spending long hours in the office it would be nice for him to feel a little bit more at home with things to remind him of his family. Something a bit more heartfelt would be a family photo in a lovely photo frame but if you want something that will make his desk look interesting and intellectual, a unique gift like a Newton’s Cradle or this clock disguised in a telescope would certainly do the trick.

Best Gifts For a Musical Dad

Does your dad love blasting music from his era? This record table is something quite unique and it will go perfectly in your dad’s man cave. Maybe even pair it with the matching record coasters for a well rounded gift.

Does your dad play an instrument of his own? A mini version of him and his instrument is such a fun little gift and a lovely homage to the kind of person your dad is. And if he plays guitar this pick holder is another unique gift and something no doubt he needs - I know I’m always losing mine they’re so small they can very easily get away from me.

Best Gifts For a Foodie Dad

Does your dad just love food (maybe a little bit too much)? A trip out to his favourite restaurant paid for by you is a great way to make their day and it gives you an opportunity to make memories with your dad which is something much more valuable than any gift. In our tearoom, The Treehouse Tearoom, we love creating our annual Mother's Day and Father’s Day events and getting to give our customers a trip out to remember.

Sometimes fathers and men can be quite minimalistic and already have everything they think they need so for men my motto is if in doubt, personalise it. It’s a ridiculously easy way to turn a simple gift that they’ll use into something that seems well thought out and meaningful. And obviously gift wrapping is a way to elevate a gift to the next level for a really special look. It doesn’t have to be covered in frills and bows but sometimes fancy wrapping paper and a small ribbon bow is all you need. Just remember Father’s Day is on the 15th of June so make sure you get something before it’s too late!
