Father’s Day Gifts – For EVERY kind of Dad…

Daddy. Dad. Pops. However you refer to the men in your life, Father’s Day is fast approaching. The 18th of June 2023 is the one day of the year where we are encouraged to pay homage to the Father Figures in our life, on the basis that we probably take them a little for granted single every other day of the year. The Father’s, the grandfathers, step fathers, the father figures and the Mums who play both roles…. it’s time to celebrate EVERY kind of Dad this Father’s Day.

If you’re looking for some inspiration on what to get your Dad this Father’s Day, fear not – we’ve rounded up a fab selection of products for every kind of Dad – no matter their style or preferences! 

For the Dad who fancies a tipple

If like mine, your Dad is partial to a tipple at the end of a busy day, why not treat them to a glass on gin in the sunshine this Father’s Day?

The Manchester Drinks Company offers a great selection of gorgeous gin liqueurs at really affordable prices with three delicious flavours: Parma Violet, Mystical Unicorn (infused with candy floss and marshmallows) and Rhubarb and Ginger. Available in Home Bargains and Quality Save and retailing at just £7.99, these 500ml bottles are great for those looking for a welcome gift without the big budget price tag. Look how pretty the bottle is too!

For the organised Dad 

If your Dad is the list writer, the planner and the record keeper, then why not treat him to a brand new pen from Boutique Gifts? I always think stationery makes wonderful gifts, particularly high-quality pens, which whilst you wouldn’t normally justify treating yourself to, can make an amazing gift.

This classic Parker Jotter Ball pen set includes a Parker Jotter ballpoint pen and fountain pen – suiting every writing style and occasion. With the classic arrow head clip, it’s ideal for clipping onto a shirt pocket – so it’s always close to hand when he needs it!

Not only does the Parker Jotter Ball come beautifully gift-boxed, but at Boutique Gifts you can even choose a font and ink colour and add an engraving of your choice – the personalised element of your gift is then bought to life in their Nottingham workshop.

For the Dad with a sweet tooth

If your Dad has a sweet tooth, you’ll love that the nation’s favourite sweet manufacturer, Swizzels, has launched its first ever Chocolate Coin as part of its iconic Love Hearts range.

Available online for £2.49, the Chocolate Coin features a ‘FOR YOU’ message, making it suitable for sharing with your Dad on Father’s Day and is sure to raise a smile.

Alternatively if they prefer more traditional sweets, Swizzels also has their iconic Sweet Shop Favourites Gift Box, including some of the UK’s most well-loved sweets: Love Hearts, Refreshers, Parma Violets, Drumstick, Double Lollies and more. It’s available nationwide. Even better – there’s plenty for the whole family to share.

For the Dad who loves a close shave

Whether your Dad is rocking a thick full beard, or a close shave, it’s important he looks after his skin.

In 2022, Gillette Labs launched their first razor with a built-in exfoliating bar. Now, in 2023, they’ve introduced the Gillette Labs Neon Night, which has a unique neon green and black design. The built-in exfoliating bar clears the path and smoothes the skin before the blades glide across for an effortless shave. It even comes with a money back guarantee, so itf your Dads’ not totally happy – you can have your money back.

The Gilette Labs Neon Night Razor retails at £14.99 and is available at Gilette.

For the stylish Dad 

If you’re looking for a new outfit, underwear or accessories for your Dad this Father’s Day – Helly Hansen has a wide range of high quality ski, sail and outdoor equipment and clothes that are ideal for your Dad this Father’s Day.

We love these versatile Men’s Move Sweat Shorts, which are comfortable for training or simply kicking back and relaxing fter a long day. Made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend with hand pockets, elastic waist and draw string ties, they also feature a large HH logo on the bottom of the left leg.

For the foodie Dad

If your Dad’s always King of the BBQ, Master of the Kitchen, or simply always stuffing his face, they say food is the perfect way to a man’s heart. Foodie gifts are always likely to go down well and we’ve found some really unique choices that are sure to be well received.

First up, can your Dad handle the heat? If he likes his sauces HOT, they don’t come much hotter than this. Challenge your Dad to dip without reaching for a glass of water with this 3 Hot Chilli Sauce Deal from Pembrokeshire Chill Farm. This hot sauce package contains 3 of the hottest sauces they have on offer – Ghost Tears (rated Very Hot), Scorpions Bite (rated Punishing) and Reapers Creepers (rated STRENUOUS!).

If your Dad is a lover of savoury, he will love cracking open a craft ale and some snacks from this Craft Beer Hamper from Hampers.com. This hamper is packed full of treats including three cans of Tap Social’s Oxford-brewed beer. Not only does this brand produce exceptionally tasting beers, they also create employment and training for ex-offenders to get them back into work. An ethical brand with a great message. The hamper also includes a great variety of pub style snacks, including Howdah’s delicious Tandoor Chilli Ancient Grain Chips (nice and spicy!) crunchy and tangy Snacking Pickles by Serious Pig and Sweet chilli peanuts. Be warned – whilst this hamper is big enough to share, he may be a little relucantant!

Fancy upgrading your Dads’ drinks this football season? These awesome football ice cube moulds from Kikkerland make the most impressive globe shaped ice cubes to add to his half time tipple. Simply add the water, freeze and pop out the mould a few hours later! A perfect sphere! A great gift for a fan of the big game.

Make it Personal

There’s something really special about personalised gifts, and presents that show the person has really thought about their recipient. Alongside some homemade cards from the girls (which let’s face it, are always lovely to receive, I always love the girls to give something special to Daddy that reminds him of how important his role is as their Father.

Getting the girls to make their own personal cards and drawings is really special for the sentimental touch. We LOVE the fab downloadable book template from Boden, which can easily be printed off at home and bound together with string. I did this with Neve earlier in the week, and some of her drawings are just adorable. Definitely, one to cherish. To help bring their creations to life, the Stabilo Pen 68 sets are ideal for colouring vivid, bright lines and large areas and don’t smudge. If like my kids, yours are also prone to leaving the lids off, you can be safe in the knowledge that they won’t dry out; as the lids can be kept off for up to 24 hours!
