11 Gift Ideas for Father's Day

Father’s Day is just around the corner. Sunday 16th June is the day. This is the ideal time to treat your Dad or treat your partner on behalf of your children.

I don’t know about you but I often find buying gifts for men really tricky, they either have everything or have no idea what they want. If you’re in the same boat, and are completely stuck for gift inspiration, fear not, I have a range of gifts that will be loved and definitely won’t leave you feeling like you’re buying the same thing over and over again, or resorting to the usual chocolates, socks and aftershave. So keep reading for a little dose of inspiration.

Smart Book Light

Smart Book light

This smart book light will be loved by anyone who receives it, and it also has to be one of my favourite gifts here at Gift It 2. It looks just like a book, but ta-da when you open it the pages light up like a fan concertina, so it can easily be kept at his bedside for bedtime reading or at his desk. It’s also small enough to pop into a suitcase and be recharged with its micro USB charger, making this book light an ideal travel companion.

LED Alarm Flip Click Clock

These nifty little wooden blocks are our stylish flip click clocks. WIth a simple touch of a button, a clap or a click of the fingers the clock lights up. To set the alarm it’s a case of lightly touching the engraved buttons, and when the Gingko logo is on display at the top of the clock the alarm is on, and when you flip the clock the alarm turns off. Just like the Smart Book Light it’s on a rechargeable battery which means that this item is extremely portable. Plus you have a choice of cherry or walnut wood too!

Mi Square Bluetooth Speakers

Mi Square Pocket Bluetooth Speaker

I love these little speakers, and when I say little they are really small, so much so that I wish I could keep them all for myself. These tiny Mi Square speakers feel incredibly well made, and for such a small item the sound quality is amazing. This is a lovely gift for a Dad who has everything, just not a stylish speaker that he can pack in his travel bag or show off to his friends and family when hosting a BBQ. So get him one today. It’s also rechargeable on a mini USB too!

Faux Leather Travel Notebook

If the man in your life loves to travel or loves a list then this faux leather notebook is for him. It features a loop for your pen, and pockets on the back cover for tickets and a passport. Plus you can always ask your kids to write a personal Father’s Day message on the inside cover, so that he always has a sentimental message with him from home.

I am very busy mug - Dad

I am very busy Mug

If your Dad is always busy, always doing something important, or can be found down the pub, then this mug is for him. Designed by Catherine Colebrook this mug will bring a smile to his face and hopefully make himself feel important every time he has a hot cup of tea or coffee in his hand.

6 in 1 Multi-Tool Pen

Many Dads may have all of these items as separate tools, but this 6-in-1 multi-tool pen is it! It’s a pen, stylus, ruler, spirit level and 2 screwdrivers all in one, making this the perfect tool for any man who has everything, and is simply looking for something that has it all.

Campfire Survival Cards Waterproof

Campfire Survival Cards

Does your Dad love camping and singing songs around the campfire with toasted marshmallows but is always stuck for things to do? Then you need to buy these campfire playing cards meaning you’ll be playing Patience and Rummy all night long. They’ll also double up as a pack of survival cards with handy survival tips, just in case you happen to encounter a bear on your travels.

Pocket Ground Sheet

Sticking with the camping theme here this pocket ground sheet is ideal for travelling, taking to a festival, or putting into your suitcase for a beach holiday. It’s waterproof, durable and most of all it’s small, plus it looks the part too!

Cowhide | Canvas and Leather Keyrings

Cowhide and Leather Key Fob

This is a wonderful gift to buy for Dad if you’re looking for something that is simple yet stylish that doesn’t cost the earth. Each key fob is of a really high quality in either black and white, or brown and white cowhide. So now your Dad really has no need to lose their keys ever again, and at only £5.50 each this is what I would call a bargain.

Wake Daddy Up Eye Mask

Just because it’s Father’s Day doesn’t mean that your Dad or your partner has a lie-in? These tongue in cheek eye masks by Catherine Colebrook should hopefully mean that you get a lie-in instead, after all you deserve it for selecting such a brilliant gift.

Our beer caddies are made from recycled army surplus canvas and will keep your beers cool for a couple of hours. They are extremely portable, so it’s easy to get from your house to the party in no time, and who could say no to a cold beer on arrival.

Those are just 11 unique gifts that you could buy your Dad or partner this Father’s Day, and there are many others that can be found in our Thoughtful Father’s Day Gift Collection on the website.
