Father’s Day gift ideas for Dads
Are you looking for gift ideas for dads and have really struggled again this year? I have a new gift guide full of ideas for that hard to buy for man in your life that he will love.
Whether your dad likes DIY, style or reading there is a gift here to suit all dads I am sure! Check them out below and see what you could buy your dad this year.
This article includes some items I was sent free of charge as press samples in return for sharing them with you but all opinions are my own.
Skincare, shaving and scent gifts
This 15ml bottle of Armani Code from Perfume Direct is £25.99 but other sizes are also available for higher budgets.
It is a lovely scent for a man who likes to smell good and is great for a variety of ages.
If you are wanting to buy Dad some scent and have a higher budget then how about a Hugo Boss aftershave?
This 50ml bottle of Hugo Boss Bottled Infinite from Perfume Direct is £51.99 with larger bottle sizes also available.
Skincare makes a great gift for Dad as you can buy it every year as he uses it and then needs more.
This Benecos Men’s gift set is £11.90 and contains 3 in 1 Body wash; and Face and Aftershave Balm. It comes in a handy cardboard gift bag making it the perfect Father’s Day gift.
Another skincare product to consider is the range from lavera.
The lavera Men Sensitiv Cleanse and Shave Gift Set for £23.50 will pamper, spruce and groom him. Infused with natural and organic ingredients of organic bamboo and guarana help to care for and protect the skin.
The set includes a 3in1 Shower Gel; a Gentle Shaving Foam that helps to prevent redness and skin irritations; and an Aftershave Balm to soothe and calm the skin after shaving.
This Gillette Labs Neon Light Razor with a built-in exfoliating bar for £14.99 is an exciting neon green and black razor.
The built-in exfoliating bar clears the path before the blades for an effortless shave in one stroke.
It is available directly from Gillette but also from Amazon and in most supermarkets and high street pharmacies.
A cheaper scent and skincare option in one is this aloe-powered aftershave which doubles as a moisturiser. Forever’s formula is free of alcohol.
Shaving can cause irritating nicks, scratches or razor burn as the blade moves across your face. Most aftershaves have a high alcohol content that can leave your skin feeling dry.
That’s not the case with Gentleman’s Pride. Natural skin conditioners like rosemary, vitamin E and cucumber work alongside aloe and sodium hyaluronate to deeply soothe and moisturise.
Gentleman’s Pride is £14.89 from Forever Living.

Does Dad like to listen to music or podcasts? The Edifier WH500 Wireless on-ear headphones for £39.99 are available in black or white.
They are foldable, lightweight and very comfortable whilst also giving an incredible audio experience.

The Emporia Touch Smart 2 is £160 and includes all he needs with a proper instruction book and both a touchscreen and buttons.
It is hearing aid compatible, has an emergency button and he can open the handset to automatically answer the call! Amazing in my opinion!
These Edifier W240TN Noise Cancelling Earbuds for £69.99 are great quality and perfect for a dad who wants some smart new earphones that are easy to work and have everything he needs.

There is currently a 10% discount on Amazon to tick too so don’t forget that! A great gift for an iPhone using Dad.
Would Dad like his own Smart Weather Station? The Weather Station’s wireless Outdoor Module gives you real-time weather data with measurements gathered from its sensors right on your doorstep.
