Father’s Day is well over a month away which means you’ve got plenty of time to plan the perfect gift for the man, the myth, the legend; your father. Source out some wood and show off your handy-work you’ve learnt from your pops by building something special to give. If he’s more of the gadget type, find him the latest and greatest in sports or fashion watches. Our fathers and father-like figures play a special roll in our lives and Father’s Day is his special day, so show him how much you appreciate all he does and has done in your life.

For those tricky fathers who are hard to shop for, we’ve got a list of gift ideas sure to make him smile. 

Button-Up Dress Shirts

Whether your father is an office man or he’s a laborer who likes to get his hands dirty, every gentleman appreciates a suave, button-up dress shirt. Long sleeves or short sleeves, solid colours or patterned, a dress shirt is a versatile and functional addition to any wardrobe. Dress it up or dress it down, give your father the gift that looks great at the office, the cottage and neighbourhood BBQs.

Watches

A watch is a timeless accessory that deserves a special spot in every wardrobe for both ladies and gents. For the office gents looking for something sophisticated and sleek, choose from a leather or metal band and a clean, simple face. For the adventure dads that you can’t keep out of the mountains, update his battered, old-school watch with something new and jam packed full of innovative technologies. Whether you’re tracking the altitude gain or simply just want to know the time, a watch is more than just a stylish accessory, it’s a tool too.

Shoes

To some gentlemen, a great pair of shoes is the finishing touch to any sleek ensemble making them an important part of the entire look. If your father is in-tune with today’s stylish trends and has a wicked sense of fashion, a new pair of shoes can be the perfect gift. Replace his old boat shoes with a reliable new pair or amp up his classy look for nights out with a new pair of leather boots. 

Gadgets

Not every guy loves his gadgets, but those that do, they love them deeply. There’s nothing more satisfying then pulling out your handy gadget in the perfect moment to save the day whether it be a loose bolt or needing to cut a slice of cheese at a picnic. Gadgets can be anything from tools to electronics and everything in between. Give your dad the gift of a convenient gadget that he’s sure to rely on more than once in his adventures or daily routine.

 Miscellaneous

If your dad is the type of dad that has it all, finding the perfect gift can be a great challenge although it isn’t impossible. What’s he passionate about? Did he have a favourite hat growing up that he often talks about how much he loved to wear? Small, unexpected gifts can often be the best and show that you went that extra step to find a gift that means as much to your father as he does to you.

This Father’s Day, show your father or the fatherly figures in your life how much he means to you with a kind gesture. Whether you make something special, purchase a meaningful gift or make a simple phone call, the smallest gesture can have the largest impact. Show you care and make this Father’s Day a special day for your dad.
