Father’s Day 2016 Ultimate Gift Guide

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it may be time for you to start searching for something real soon. Nonetheless we believe that everyone suffers from the same issue; we never know what to give them. Dads have and will always have this mystical talent of convincing us, their beloved and dedicated children, that they don’t need anything. They probably just want a phone call or a nice pint of beer on you or if we are up to it an enjoyable dinner, which will be paid by them, because let’s face it they will never take our money. However, this year could be a good time to change from the usual gifts such as socks and get them something they’re really going to be proud of. We’ve put together this guide to spark some inspiration.

The Gadget Dad

2.4G RC Drone with HD WIFI Camera (£30.99) // Fitbit Charcoal ‘Zip’ Wireless Activity Tracker (£50)

If you have a dad who’s into his tech and brand new gadgets then we have the perfect gifts right here. Much more than a pedometer, Zip tracks your steps, distance, and calories burned then automatically syncs the data to your Fitbit account. Whether online or through the Fitbit app, your dad can set goals and stay motivated to keep on your path to fitness with graphs, badges, and friendly competitions. They can also check to see how they compare with friends and family and even provide them with motivational messages. Or dad can simply fly high and check out his surroundings while he’s at it with this awesome RC drone with a built in HD camera. The drone features wifi real time transmission and 2.4G frequency.

The Fashionable Dad

Pilot Watch (£40) // Boys Toys Pyjamas (£89)

This one is easy, he already knows what he’s doing, he enjoys shopping and to follow the new trends and compares himself to one of the finest father’s in the fashion industry, let’s say David Beckham, so you just need to get him something he can wear. Such as unique Pilot watch or a pair of nautical inspired pyjamas. 

The Casual Dad

Faux Leather Messenger Bag // Faux Leather Holdall

He may not be into fashion, but he does have a sense of what looks good on him, you just have to give him a little push and buy him something he wouldn’t usually buy for himself. We suggest investing in a good quality gym bag or a stylish man bag that he can use at the weekend.

The Workaholic  Dad

Penclic Mouse B3 Bluetooth // VariDesk (Prices Start From £150)

If dad can’t get enough of his office job then he will definitely enjoy these two gifts we’ve discovered. Introducing the Penclic Mouse. Penclic’s innovative pen grip mice create a relaxed and natural working position and counteracts health problems like Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), obtained from using a traditional computer mouse. It’s the coolest mouse out there at the minute and something he will love to show off in front of his colleagues. Another gift perfect suitable for him is the evolutionary VeriDesk, a standing desk which allows you to work both sitting and standing. It arrives in the box fully assembled, sits right on top of their existing desk – and in minutes your dad has the freedom to work standing or sitting any time he wants. Pretty soon, they’re energised, focused, free of back pain, and burning calories like crazy – all while getting things done.

Metrosexual Dad

Selfridges Men’s Grooming Box (£59) // The Men Rock Beardy Beloved Kit (£29.50)

If dad is into his grooming and having his bathroom cabinet bursting with the latest beauty products then you might want to spoil him rotten this Father’s Day with one of these luxurious boxes. The perfect gift for him, Selfridges’ best-selling Men’s Grooming Box returns! Valued at over £200, this Limited Edition gift set contains nine grooming essentials as well as an exclusive Otis Batterbee bag. The Men Rock Beardy Beloved Kit is something that any man with a beard should have as part of his skincare range. Remaining well-groomed is important, and this kit can help him do just that.
