Stylish Father’s Day ideas

Clothing or accessories is one of the traditional Father’s Day gifts. Dad would be fully kitted out with a sweater, shirt, customised T-shirt, cap or stylish sunglasses.  

Homemade Father’s Day gifts  

What can I buy my Dad on Father’s Day? If you have a handmade hobby, you can create a heartwarming gift by yourself. This could be a painting or a personalised photo book, DIY soap bars, knitted accessories, cupcakes or a pie. Or, turn your handmade pictures or images into personalised Father’s Day Gifts – we love Bella & Bow. 

The gift of a good brew  

The package of your father’s favourite beer or beautiful glasses is a good choice for beer lovers, but not only this. Consider a customised beer opener, a beer growler that can be filled up at a local brewery, or even a starter starter kit to make a homemade beer. A portable beer cooler can be helpful for those who take beer to a picnic or beach.  

The fun gadget-y gifts 

Depending on how your dad prefers to have fun, you can delight him with a Polaroid camera, headphones, his favourite books or a gaming console. Of course, going outto activities that he likes or tickets to the concert of his favourite musicians can be a brilliant idea, too.  

Golfing gifts to up his swing skills 

For golf-loving dads, there are tons of tools to order. Polos, golf shoes and gloves, and tech-head gadgets, such as smart sensors, launch monitors, laser devices, and GPS, will help to improve his technique and swing.  

For the green-fingered types

If your father or father figure is fond of gardening and likes to spend time in nature, the gift can be related to this activity. Keep an eye on garden clothes, gloves, seeds, trowels and spades, secateurs, garden furniture or BBQ tools.  

Suit-all scents

You may order the same cologne your father had been wearing before or choose something similar, maybe a hi-end version. Or, to make it olfactory-proof and not commit to something too heady or new he might not like, opt for a body spray instead. They are easier on the nose, and there’s less chance of getting it wrong. Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance, £26, is a great everyday choice that will give the benefits of aromatherapy and make him smell good.  

A stylish pad

For listing, planning and journaling fans, you can easily find a gift that conveys your love: stylish moleskins, classic notebooks, wellness journals, notebooks for to-do lists and for anything work-related doodles. 

Cozy gifts for home-loving Dads 

If your Dad enjoys spending time at home relaxing with Netflix, he will thank you for a cosy pyjama, a fleece robe, or soft slippers. But maybe he’s been eyeing an orthopaedic pillow or weighted blanket for a while? Then go ahead and order it now, just in time for Father’s Day.
