Father's Day Gift Guide For The Man Who Has Everything
Father’s Day has crept up on us again and you might be wondering what to get for that special man in your life –especially if he already has everything. Dads are notoriously hard to buy for and the shops only make things harder as they assume every man over the age of 40 must be into golf, football and drinking beer.
We know that Dads come in all shapes and sizes and enjoy a variety of activities in their spare time. Some Dads like to collect Marvel comics, while others enjoy cooking at the weekend; some Dads love to read and some go out to take pictures of local wildlife on their DSLR.
The idea of a good gift is to give something that the receiver would not necessarily buy for his or herself, so what do we buy the Dad who has everything?
Tick tock
Every Dad needs a smart watch on his wrist, mainly so he can keep track and pick you up from the cinema ontime. TicWatches is a good starting point for those who want to buy their Dad something special, but can’t quite afford the designer price tag. You can pick up a smart Armani watch for over £100 less than the recommended retail price and Daniel Wellington timepieces for around £20 cheaper than in store.
Use the force
Is your Dad a Game of Thrones fanatic or a die-hard Star Wars fan? Then this Father’s Day, look for a special gift featuring some of his favourite characters. Give your Dad a Dothraki language course book so that he can speak the tongue of warriors (growing and braiding his hair is optional) and for the Star Wars geek we love this subtle long sleeved t-shirt design.
Top tech
Dads love technology so give him a gift that is both practical but also provides him with hours of fun. We think lighting that can be controlled using an app on a tablet or smartphone is a great gift and gives Dads the opportunity to show off to friends and wind your Mum up. Easybulb is a great option; they last for 25 years and even allow you to change the colour of your lights.
Aerial snapping
Another fun toy to wind your Mum up with, a mini quadcopter should please your Dad’s inner child. Choose one with a HD camera, so your Dad can experiment with some fun aerial photography. The Hubsan X4 is a great choice and you can even perform tricks and flips with this copter, it flies for around seven minutes before it needs charging again.
Take him out
Activity days are an easy gift option and there is a variety to choose from, for every Dad’s taste. Pick up tickets for a comedy night, a London walking tour or a sightseeing cruise on the river Thames. It’s something a little different to the usual bottle of beer and socks and if you go together you can create memories that last forever.
