12 Father's Day Gift Ideas For Every Kind Of Dad

 

 

 

There's seems to be a universal law that finding gifts for dad for Father's Day has to be something of a task.

 

Inevitably landing on the cliché socks-and-tie combo and the he-can-buy-what-he-wants gift card after getting lost in the shops, finding the right present to show how much you love the dad, grandad or father figure in your life can often end up quite disheartening.

 

That said, there are excellent gifts out there in the wild. And to take the hard work out of the equation, we rounded up some gift ideas for every type of dad.

For The Luxury-Loving Dad 

Got a father who favours the finer things in life? You'll want top-tier goods to please his refined taste. Consider luxurious scents from Goldfield & Banks, a little bit of Loewe or some Celine sneakers to seal the deal.

For The Foodie Father 

If your dad gets a kick out of trying new cuisines, experimenting with cocktails and can wax lyrical about wines, then as the old adage goes, the best way to his heart is through his stomach! Cue: delicious craft gin, a platter fit for a king and the kind of culinary tech that will keep him amused in the kitchen long after Father's Day is done.

For The DIY Dad 

If you've got a handyman dad who loves to fix, garden and build things from scratch, Father's Day is the perfect time to add to his tool belt. Why not go for Leatherman's bestselling 18-tools-in-one 'Wave', add a chic chapeau to his gardening trousseau and some polarised shades to keep the rays at bay.

For The Tech Junkie Dad 

Arguably the toughest dad to buy for, the 'tech junkie' dad is usually quite particular about what he likes. That said, there are a number of fun gadgets that should do the trick. Consider a top-of-the-line portable speaker, a smartwatch to level up his health kick or a pro-grade massage tool for some seriously high-tech bliss.
