Father's Day gift ideas to suit every budget

By Harriet Hall

9 years ago

With Father's Day just around the corner (Sunday 19 June), make sure you're the favourite child by getting your old man something special. After all, you made all that effort on Mother's Day not long ago. 

Whether your dad is music mad, a film fanatic or a dapper Dan, we've scoured the shops to ensure there's something for everyone - and for all budgets (depending on how generous you are feeling).

Check out our gallery below.

Happy hunting!

 

Suck-up

If you're after a loan from BOMAD (the bank of mum and dad), this mug should butter him up in no time. Or, of course, if he's simply the best.

£19.95, Emma Bridgewater


Punked

If you're feeling generous, this Bella Freud knit will make him the talk of the fashion town - and help him re-live those glory years.

£270, Bella Freud


Final cut

These beautiful ivory and nickel shaving tools are a welcome addition to any gentleman's bathroom. A wet shave is said to be the best for that clean-cut finish, too. 

£57.60, The English Shaving Company 


Play mate

What better way to celebrate Father's Day than with some friendly competition? These lawn boules will provide endless hours of fun. 

£20, John Lewis


Taste the paste

For a hair styling product that's bound to impress, Bumble and Bumble's Sumotech is the way forward. Not only does it style hair in a way that looks natural, it's shine and grease free. Also, it smells divine. 

£22, Bumble & Bumble


Chocca block

What's the point in giving a gift you can't enjoy, as well? These sea salt caramel milk chocolate ganaches are dipped in dark chocolate and then dusted in cocoa powder - and if that doesn't make your mouth water, we don't know what will. 

£13.50, Rococo Chocolates


All spice

For the man who has everything, a candle is always a welcome treat. Jo Malone's classic Pomegranate Noir scent is spicy and rich with woody undertones that are far from the floral femininity of others. 

£42, Jo Malone


Daddy cool

You can't go wrong with a pair of classic sunglasses. Ray Ban's new style is inspired by the classic Aviator, without looking too much like they need to be paired with a sheepskin flying jacket. Automatic cool points. 

£143, Ray Ban


Wind-up merchant

If your dad's not the sentimental type, this Ladybird book is a great fun gift that will have him laughing all the way to the Ferrari shop. Also, you can get him back from embarrassing you in front of all your boyfriends... 

£3.49, Amazon


Who's the daddy?

Just in case he's not sure of his role, this sweatshirt will serve as a useful reminder. 

£45, The Fmly Store


Sock him one

If in doubt, by him socks. These Folk ones are interesting enough to be special, but classic enough for every day wear. Win win. 

£15, Folk


The world's your Oyster

If your old man is one of the many Londoners who accidentally swipes his contact-less debit card as well as his Oyster, put an end to the confusion with this chic Oyster card holder. You can even win extra brownie points and get it monogrammed. 

£65, Aspinal of London


For the jet-setter

Whether he be a keen cyclist or simply someone in desperate need of a wash bag that isn't covered in toothpaste and beard clippings, this Paul Smith number will be a welcome gift. 

With a waterproof interior and embossed leather patches, he'll also look first class - even if he's travelling economy. 

£145, Paul Smith  


Garden state

You can never go wrong with a planted gift. Terrariums are all the rage at the moment and will provide your home with an injection of nature and creativity. Hang this one from the ceiling but be sure to watch your head...

£25, Urban Outfitters


Juice station

A great gift for the health-conscious sporty dad, Botanic Lab's raw juices all have delicious flavours and health-giving properties. This charcoal one is ideal for a post-work out injection of nutrients to rebalance the body. Charcoal is the trendiest of ingredients, too, didn't you hear?

From £60 for a box of 8, Botanic Lab


Brace yourself

Ideal for either a traditional father or a trendy pops, these braces are a simple addition to add spark to any outfit. 

£30, Ben Sherman


Muddy mister

Whether he's festival mad or green-fingered, these Hunter wellies are a must. Plus, perhaps you'll encourage him to get some festival tickets for you as a thanks. Here's hoping...

£90, Hunter


Scent-sational

This cologne has a clean and rich smell, perfect for a classy gent. The leathery undertones make it unmissable - in just the right way.

£85, Liberty


Drinking buddies

What better way to celebrate dad than with a bit of his favourite tipple? Jägermeister Spice is a new mix of flavours that make this classic smooth and warm. Enjoy it with him at one of several Jäegrhaus pop-ups this summer. 

£18, Tesco 


Wash away

Give your dad the gift of youth, with this skin fuel trio. When used together, this cleanser, moisturiser and shave cream will leave him looking like the boss he is. 

£53.50, Kiehls


Quality time

Versatile, unpretentious and Scandi-chic, this watch is an ideal gift, whatever his style. 

£85, Nixon


Hold the phone

Why should women have all the fun when it comes to phone cases? This one also comes in handy when you're trying to pace yourself - nobody will suspect you're not really drinking.

£51.01, Farfetch


Bed rest

Another fail-safe gift, pyjamas are garanteed to go down a treat. These classic ticking M&S ones will provide him with a perfect excuse to relax in front of the telly.

£27.50, Marks and Spencer


Photo ready

Print out all your entire family album with the Polaroid wireless printer. Or, buy it for yourself and make him a miniature album. Pics print about the size of a credit card, so they're also ideal for wallet snaps.

£109.95, Apple


Rock n roll

Cufflinks don't have to be boring. These Alexander McQueen ones provide a subtle injection of rock 'n' roll, turning that work suit into something speical. 

£95, Mr Porter


White stripes

Lure him away from the lurid novelty ties he insists on wearing to every wedding, and give him this knitted number.

£12, Topman


Stink bomb

Give him a gentle hint with these citrus drops from Aesop. Just pop a few drops into the loo after the deed is done and it's as if nobody was ever there. Perhaps buy alongside a bunch of flowers, so he's not too offended.

£20, Aesop


A beautiful mind

Whether he's into measuring or design or even has an arty side is besides the point, this brass set will make for a beautiful gift.

£80, Selfridges 


Acting sheepish

Some things in life are a must, and a pair of snuggly slippers is one of them. These Cornish-made mules have hard soles, so he can even wear them to the corner shop if he so wishes (although the fashion police would rather he didn't.)

£50, Celtic & co


Fire it up

The Amazon fire stick is every telly addicts dream. Just plug it in and your old TV becomes smart - allowing you to enjoy the delights of streaming from your couch. Think Netflix, iPlayer, YouTube, apps and, of course, Amazon Prime.

£34.99, Amazon


Box out

What better gift than the gift of sound? This Sony wireless speaker packs a real punch into such a small body, you'll want to carry it around with you everywhere. Great for the morning's Today programme, or a Sunday morning Magic session. 

£49, Argos


Dapper dad

Ah, paisley, the pattern of dads worldwide. This Etro pocket square is the best kind of paisley- because it's three paisleys all in one - your old man can either pick which colour he'd like to display to match his suit, or if he's more daring, go for all three at once. 

£76, Mr Porter


Film fan

For the cinephiles dads, a film poster is an easy one. This Taxi Driver poster comes framed and with an iconic de Niro quote. Goodbye bland walls.

£19.99, All posters


Wax lyrical

If your dad was the original hipster, help him keep his lip caterpillar in check with this moustache wax. 

£15, Murdock London


Pack your bags

Classic the world over, the Kanken backpack comes in a range of poppy colours and is light as a feature, allowing you to carry all your worldly possessions with ease.

£65, Kanken
