Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's Day gift ideas and card messages

Dads are famously hard to buy for, mostly because they buy whatever they want in April and then say they don't need anything in June. The way round it is a gift that's really a joke with a use attached: a coaster he'll actually put a mug on, a candle that isn't floral, a badge for the work bag.

Everything on this page is designed in house and made in the UK. There are rude Father's Day cards for the dad whose entire relationship with you is taking the mickey, and warmer designs for grandads, stepdads and the first Father's Day. Order early and we'll post it straight to him with your message written inside.

Frequently asked questions

What do you buy a dad who says he doesn't want anything?

Something small and useful with a line on it he'll read out loud. A funny coaster or a candle costs less than a round and gets used every day.
