Dads can sometimes be difficult to buy gifts for. But that doesn’t mean that you should settle for something generic like a ‘Best Dad Ever’ mug. There are many other gifts out there that your average dad is certain to appreciate. Below are a few inspiring options to consider.
Custom grilling apron
Got a dad that loves to barbecue? A custom grilling apron could provide them with their very own outfit to wear at each family BBQ. There are companies that allow you to print your own photos or text onto a polyester apron. Alternatively, there are sellers on Etsy that can embroider a personalised message onto an apron.
Beer hamper
For dads that love beer, why not create a hamper full of different types of beer for them to try? It’s possible to theme hampers around all kinds of food and drink interests beyond beer – including a candy hamper for a dad with a sweet tooth or a cheese and wine hamper for a dad that loves their cheese and wine.
Personalised leather wallet
If your dad’s wallet is starting to look a little worn and frayed, you could consider treating them to a personalised leather wallet. It’s possible to buy wallets with stitched personalised messages or names on them. Some companies even allow you to emboss custom images (such as a family photo) onto leather wallets. You could also pair this with keychain flashlights for helping to find things in the dark and illuminate walkways for kids,
Manbag
Sometimes a jacket doesn’t have enough pockets to carry around everything that a dad needs. A manbag could be a creative gift to make carrying these items easier. These are satchels that are typically made from leather or felt. Compare brands online and find a style that you think your dad would love.
Branded tool kit
Got a DIY-savvy dad? Or perhaps a dad that thinks they’re DIY-savvy? Consider buying them some Makita power tools or Bosch power tools so that they can take on a range of projects around the house. Sticking to one brand can help to keep their tool collection looking neat, plus different power tools belonging to the same brand will often be able to use the same battery chargers (instead of having to use different battery chargers for different tools).
Supercar driving experience
If you’ve got a dad who loves to drive fast, you could consider letting them unleash their inner speed demon on a track with a supercar driving experience. This gives them the opportunity to drive a supercar (with the support of an experienced driver in the passenger seat). You’ll find these experience packages online at various tracks around the country.
Sports stadium tour
Another fantastic experience-based gift for a dad that loves sports could be a tour of their favourite team’s stadium. Most stadiums will offer tours – including group tours and private tours. These can offer a chance to walk on the pitch and to explore typically off-limits areas like the player’s tunnel and dressing rooms. This may also include a tour of the stadium’s museum where they can look at various historical artefacts related to their favourite team such as trophies and clothing worn by players.
