Gift Guide: Fathers’ Day Ideas

Fathers’ Day is just around the corner- where is the time going?? And so I thought I would share a few ideas for anyone struggling to think of a gift. Men are notoriously difficult to buy for aren’t they?

I have picked out a few items that I know Mr F would love, hopefully they will be perfect for any man in your life too.

BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE Does your other half get kicked off the sofa too? This chair from Beanbag Bazaar is a stylish option for those short of space but who need extra seating. Mr F has one and absolutely loves it!

The i-eX gaming chair from Beanbag Bazaar is currently £74.99

THE PERFECT SCENT I love the smell of aftershave and this gorgeous scent from Ted Baker would be the ideal gift. Everyone wants to smell good don’t they and us women should be the ones to choose as we want them to smell as we would like!

This Ted Baker M Gift set is exclusive to The Perfume Shop at £14.99

CHOICE Sometimes you really don’t know what to get so why not load up a gift card from One4All and let them choose something nice for themselves. You can spend the gift card in so many shops including John Lewis, Halfords, Argos and Burtons to name a few.

ACCESSORIES I am always buying novelty cufflinks, I figure suits can get a bit boring day in, day out so why not add a bit of fun?

This Minion cufflinks and money clip set would be a perfect pocket money treat for dad, available at Argos for £12.99

AWARDS I always liked to get cards with badges on for my dad when I was little, I liked to give something that he could wear with pride. This medal is perfect as a pocket money gift from the kids and will be something they can see their daddy wearing for Fathers’ Day.

A QUIET DRINK This is one to be enjoyed together once the kids are in bed. Have a glass or two and enjoy some time together.

Lindeman’s is Australia’s favourite wine brand and can be found in all good supermarkets.

GROOMING Some men like to shave their beards off completely, some like to style it into something neat and stylish. Either way they need the best tools for the job don’t they?

The Braun Cruzer is great for men who like to shave in the week but let their beard grow over the weekend. It can handle 3 day stubble and the foil shaver gives control and precision to leave skin smooth every time.

If they prefer a wet shave then why not treat them to a Hydro 5 Groomer from Wilkinson Sword. It has the benefit of a normal razor at one end but a trimmer at the other end to tidy up those loose ends.

TIME Ok so you can’t give them time as such but you can make getting up a nicer experience. The Lumie clock will have them waking up to a sunrise, helping their body adjust to early starts. We absolutely love our Lumie clock so it gets the thumbs up from Mr F!

The Lumie Bodyclock is £59.95 from Lumie.com

FUN If you have young kids then you will have heard of Peppa Pig. My girls love it and they find Daddy Pig hilarious (I have to say he is my favourite too!). Why not bring a little fun to Fathers’ Day and buy some Daddy Pig socks!

Aren’t they great? They are £3.99 from the Official Peppa Pig World Shop

STYLE Ok so they can’t wear Peppa socks to work can they? Or maybe you want something to give to Grandad? How about some lovely patterned socks?

These socks are packaged so nicely, they would make a fab gift! They can be found at the Fat Budda Store for £15

GADGETS We are so lucky to live in a world where technology is fast moving. Mr F loves gadgets and is always looking for cool new things to buy. When he saw this one4all remote sensor he was beyond excited! You download an app and control the tv or other devices in your home from your phone- genius!

One For All Smart Zapper URC8810 front light

The One For All Smart Zapper is £34.99.

PRACTICAL Men like to be practical don’t they? So why not buy them something they can enjoy…. and be useful around the home? Hoovering has always been my job but the Karcher hoover has got Mr F a little bit excited as it looks a bit more manly and is industrial looking. He has never hoovered so much in his life!

karcher

The Karcher MV2 Wet and Dry is £69.99 and available from Argos. 

MAKE YOUR OWN I don’t know about the man in your life but Mr F loves to make things, he always has a project on the go. This includes beer and he loves nothing more than brewing his own to save a bit of money and have the satisfaction of being able to say he made it!

brew

Moonpig have this fantastic Brew Your Own set for £40 

MEMORIES What could be more personal than the gift of memories. The little things can be so easily forgotten so should be written down before it is too late. This lovely journal will allow daddies to record precious moments, even things that happened before their children were born.

dear dad

The Dear Dad Journal is £12.99 

So there we have it, a varied selection of presents you can buy for the man in your life. Hopefully it has given you some inspiration!
