Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's day is just days away and if you're like me you'll be struggling to think of something to get your dad. My lovely dad usually tells me not to bother getting him anything and is quite happy with a simple box of chocolates! To make things even trickier for me, my dad's birthday is always in the same week as Father's day which means I have to think of another gift for him which is really hard when he has everything he needs and has just received lots of presents a few days earlier.

Of course I always ignore his 'don't get me anything' request and buy him a few treats but each year I struggle to think of something new. This year I've been more organised and have been scouring the internet for some inspiration. Here are some ideas which might just help to make your dad's day...

It comes carefully wrapped and boxed to make it an extra special gift. What wine loving dad wouldn't like this?

Personalised Football Team Newspaper Book

A great gift for any football mad dad is this newspaper book which can be personalised so the articles feature your dad's favourite team. Using actual newspaper reports the books covers the history of your chosen club from the 1900s through to more recent times. Your dad can read all about the highs and lows of his favourite clubs history. You can choose your cover, name and team so this will be a really personal gift for your dad.

Speedo Wall Clock

Any car enthusiast will appreciate this stylish clock which is based on the classic speedometer from the 1960's. I really like the retro feel of the clock and I love all the detail that has gone into it. I know my dad would love this as he's the biggest car enthusiast around. There are also other speedo clock designs available from meandmycar.co.uk so you can choose your dad's favourite classic.

iPad covers

If your dad is more of a gadget geek then how about a funky cover for his tablet? This one is from Lente Designs and they have a whole range of covers suitable for iPad Mini, iPad Air and iPad 2,3 and 4. Prices range from £14.99 - £19.99 so it's a really affordable gift if you're on a tighter budget.

Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve Single Malt Whisky

Show your dad how world class he is with this world-famous whisky from Japan. The Yamasaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 won the Whisky Bible whisky of the year last November so it must be one of the best you can buy your dad for Father's Day!

This gift box contains everything your dad needs to have a pampered Father's day. Wine and chocolate to tickle his taste buds and beard oil and body wash to tickle his other parts! Your dad will smell lovely and feel very relaxed after sampling this lot and you'll have one happy, relaxed dad!

Umbra T-Frame T-Shirt Frame

Your dad can save his favourite band t-shirt, football shirt or souvenir t-shirt in this eye-catching Umbra T-Frame T-Shirt Frame. It's a great way to display memorabilia and make sure your dad's memories are kept forever. Your dad can create his own personal wall decoration that will be really special to him.

Barbecue Tools

If your dad takes his barbecuing a bit more seriously then this Barbecue tools set from Annabel James 
could be for him. Presented in a classic khaki carrying case this set has everything your dad needs to be the barbecue king.

Shaving Set

This luxurious shaving set from Edwin Jagger is a luxurious gift that any gentleman would appreciate. It comes with a nickel plated safety razor in imitation ebony, a pure badger shaving brush and a nickel plated matching stand. I think this is a really special gift for your dad and it would be a stylish addition to any bathroom shelf.

So there are some ideas, hopefully you'll be inspired enough to buy your dad something different this year. I'll be treating my dad to a special gift but I'll make sure I get him some chocolates too!
