Father’s Day is just around the corner (15th June, btw), and it’s the perfect chance to show appreciation for those who have stood by us through it all. Whether it’s your dad, grandad, stepdad, or any father figure, this day is all about celebrating everything they do - but what do you buy for them?
Yes, the trusty ‘#1 Dad’ mug will always be a classic, but if you’re looking for some other ideas, we've got you covered. Whether your dad is a bookworm, a wine connoisseur, a sharp dresser, or just impossible to shop for, here's your go-to guide for gifts (and the packaging to go with them)...
Father’s Day gift guide
Go for a sentimental gift like books and photos
Books: A good book is always a great gift - whether your dad’s into thrillers, biographies, or something a bit more businessy. Pair it with a handmade bookmark or package it in a stylish book-style box to give it that extra touch - and why not slip a personal note card inside the cover?
Photos: Sometimes the best Father’s Day gifts aren’t the most expensive - they’re the most meaningful. A framed photo of a special moment or a photo album featuring family memories can go a long way. Present it in a photography box - perhaps with some tissue paper too to keep it safe and sound!
Opt for something stylish like shoes, watches & more
Shoes & ties: Your dad may not be on the runways, but that doesn’t mean he can’t rock a nice pair of shoes or a cool patterned tie. You could even create an outfit with stuff like a fun t-shirt, stylish scarf, or cosy gloves (ready for when the weather gets a bit chilly!).
Pack these fashion-forward gifts in apparel gift packaging, available in premium textures and finishes, to give them that boutique feel. Think magnetic closure boxes with ribbon tabs, or the classic two-piece lid and base styles.
Watches & cufflinks: These are timeless Father’s Day gift ideas - especially if Dad has an event or celebration on the horizon. Watches and cufflinks come in a range of styles and price points, so you’ll be able to find something that fits your budget!
Elevate the presentation by placing your present in a luxury watch box or a ribbed cufflink box. Want to really impress? Go for foil-printed initials or a custom message on the packaging.
Classic gifts - mugs, wine & more
Wine: Red, white, rosé, or maybe a craft beer selection - whatever Dad’s favourite drink, this is a go-to crowd-pleaser. Package it in a bespoke wine box or classic bottle bag, and want to go the extra mile? Include a set of engraved glasses. (Because why not?)
Mugs: Okay... so sometimes mugs are actually great gifts. Switch it up with a fun custom design just for your dad - from funny quotes to family photos, there are endless ways to make a mug feel personal and thoughtful. And the packaging? Pop the mug in a sturdy kraft or printed mug box with shredded paper filler and a small packet of his favourite coffee or tea.
Shopping last minute? How about a gift card
Running short on time? (We’ve all been there.) Or maybe Dad’s the type who likes to pick his own present. Enter, the always-reliable gift card. But instead of just handing it over in an envelope, make it extra special with a magnetic gift card box, and voila!
The best Father’s Day gifts
The best Father’s Day gifts aren’t always the flashiest or most expensive - they’re the ones that come from the heart. Whether it’s a carefully chosen book, a cute family photo, or his favourite bottle of wine, it’s always the thought that counts.
