Buy him: a groovy bag for his groovy gear.

What's good about it? It's spacious and practical, this heavy duty Deployment Bag from Ducti will haul his gear around as well as turn some heads while he does it! Hard wearing but never dull!

Buy it from: Ducti 

Buy him: an American Dad limited edition print

What's good about it? He might not be American, but American Dad is such a cult series, and  every dad wants to be seen as a hero. Also as it's a limited edition so all his mates won't get one. It's also not a fortune for a gift that is pretty unique, just £42.

Buy it from: Lollipop Animation 

Buy him: something groovy to wear with this Rock Family T-Shirt from All Saints.

What's good about it? We like the vague family theme, but mainly the rock'n'roll theme! It's been pre-distressed, for that perfect lived in, favourite tee look! Perfect!

Buy it from: All Saints  

Buy him: something to look groovy, and catch the groove with a Stylophone

What's good about it? Well he gets to go retro by tuning up on the Stylophone. The cult instrument is back and maybe this time he can get to grips with it. Two Little Boys anyone?

Buy it from: Firebox 

 Buy him: something very sleek and slick like the Mac Air

What's good about it? Lets face it, the dads who have it going on are lusting after the new Mac Air. It's gorgeous to look at, very sleek and slick and yet still does everything you need it to. We know, if it was a man, you'd marry it, but it's not, so buy it for the significant man in your life instead!

Buy it from: John Lewis 

Buy him: the ultimate in close shave with total style

What's good about it? Whilst shaving might be a daily chore to some, to smooth dads everywhere this is the pinnacle of style and substance. The Chicago Groom Center from Hommage has a top quality brush and razor, held perfectly in place with their patented magentic technology. A perfect gift for the smoothie in your life.

Buy it from: Mankind 

Buy him: the ability to whip up his own Vesper Martinis

What's good about it? Well, if he's that smooth, then Bond is bound to be his hero. Most things are easy to track down so treat him to a bottle of Lillet Blanc Vermouth for that added smoothness. Lets hope he's not too shaken by such a great choice! 

Buy it from: The Whisky Exchange 

Buy him a superb business card holder.

What's good about it? Well, it'll ensure he always looks the part. And whilst not normally an exciting gift, this looks amazing and very luxe, with a stylish closure as well. Small but perfectly formed gift, a perfect choice for the smooth operator.

Buy it from: Smythson 

Buy him: this perfect tshirt for proud new dads

What's good about it? Well, there's one for him and one for the little one too. We think he'll wear it with great pride, possibly until the little one is old enough to buy him a real pint!

Buy it from: Urchin   

Buy him: a beautiful and memorable family portrait

What's good about it? These moments will pass by so quickly, so take some time out to record the moment. You can treat him to it as a gift experience and then share the gift together for ever. 

Buy it from: Virgin Experiences 

Buy him: something special to drink all the coffee out of

What's good about it? He might need a lot of coffee to keep him going, if you got the baby who doesn't sleep. It's a gift, sleep, but we don't think you can buy that.

Buy it from: John Lewis 

Buy him: his own personalised calendar to show him in his true light

What's good about it? As the super dad you know he is, this calendar will show everyone his super hero side. Great photos are personalised with his name, and the calendar can start from any month you like.

 Go luxe if Dad has done a few Fathers Days before. How about handmade leather shoes for a starting point? We love the classic brogues from Samuel Windsor, handmade from the finest premium leather. Timeless and gorgeous, he will always feel well dressed wearing these, and ready to take on the world.

Malt whisky might be an acquired taste, but if it's one Dad's acquired, treat him to something special. Celebrating 175 years of the distillery, Talisker have launched this blend to celebrate, made from a complex blend from a variety of their casks, some over 20 years old. Possibly even older than your dad.

Just because he's been around a bit doesn't mean he wants to get slippers and a pipe. Show him you still think he's wired in to the world, and treat him to an iPod. You could load it up with music to his taste, even slip in a few unexpected sounds. Of course, with the iPod Touch, he's wired to the world, which will keep him away from those slippers for some time to come yet!

Maybe he has more time on his hands, and is busy jetting off for the weekend, or longer. Treat him to the gift of good looking luggage, it may help get that elusive upgrade, or at least a thumbs up from the porters. We love this overnight bag from Saddler, in soft, chocolate brown leather in a great stylish shape.

Maybe he doesn't need to be a hive of activity, and is happy on the sofa. Treat him to this classic box set of Bogart films, including The Big Sleep. Which is perhaps the best gift of all on Fathers Day.

If he doesn't rouse himself after that, treat him to a present that he'll remember every month. A magazine subscription makes a great gift, you can reflect his interests, or desires. So you could buy him Birdwatching as a present. Or FHM if he's into a different kind of bird.

If he wants to spend all day lounging around, then give him the gift of decent togs to lounge round in. We love these Notting Hill pull ons from Bonsoir. Perfect for slackers everywhere. Well, the stylish ones!

Maybe he doesn't need any help to have a good snooze. But you could indulge him a bit. Treat him to a tasty gift of luxury hot chocolate from Whittards. Flavoured with apricot, honey and camomile, it's a great route to sweet dreams.

If he likes his beer, and you can't afford to buy him a pub, then we think this is the next best thing! It's homebrew kits for the 21^st century, and Beer Machine will reward him with 17 pints of beer within 7 to 10 days, without too much effort.

And maybe when it's brewed, he'll need something to dispense it from. Or you could just get him a keg to fit into this very cool looking beer dispenser.  Just don't let him build his own bar in the lounge, that is a gift to no one.

 

Perhaps he likes a drop of the posh stuff. Go upmarket for a Fathers Day present to remember, with this presentation boxed bottle of Bollinger. Apparently James Bond has been drinking this stuff since 1953, and look how good he's looking on it!

 

Summer's coming, perhaps he'd like to make things a bit more tropical. Perhaps he could make like Tom Cruise and shake up a few margaritas so treat him to the right glasses, maybe throw in a bottle of tequila, but leave out the dodgy hawaiin shirts!
