Groovy Dads - gifts for the stylish and hip dad 

Ducti Musette Deployment Bag 

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 

Fisheye Camera by Lomograph 

Buy him: a Lomograph Fisheye camera 

 What's good about it? Retro and very cool, Lomograph cameras are rocking the world all over again. And he'll get to take some very cool snaps, which might make very good wall art gifts for next year!

 Rock Family Tree T Shirt from All Saints

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  

Stylophone is back! 

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 

 

Smoothie Dads - gifts for dads who've got their act together 

Mac Air - we want one! 

 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 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 

Hommage Chicago 

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 

Smooth Gifts for Smooth Guys - Lilet 

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: TheDrinkShop 

Smooth Gifts for Smooth Guys - Smythson Card Holder 

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 

 

Newbie Dads - gifts for daddy's first Father's Day 

Pint and Half Pint new dad tshirt 

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: Not On the High Street   

Great Gifts for Daddy's First Fathers Day - Family Portrait 

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 Experience Days 

 

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 

The only cufflinks guaranteed to make even grown men cry! 

Buy him: the only pair of cufflinks ever likely to make him cry

What's good about it? Personalised with baby's fingerprints, and you want to know what's good about it? Guaranteed to make grown men cry! And to be an incredible memento of this first Father's Day for ever.

Buy from: Not On the High Street

 

Oldie Dads - classy gifts for the well matured, older dad 

 Classic Gifts for Classic Dads - Samuel Windsor Brogues

Buy him: the luxury of a bespoke shirt, made to measure just for him

What's good about it? A one-off shirt, made to measure, the ultimate in luxury? What's not for him to love? Better than a 3 pack from M&S! Definitely a touch of luxury but actually quite reasonable in terms of cost

Buy it from: Exact Tailoring

Classic Gifts for Classic Dads - Talisker Whisky 

Buy him: a very good malt whisky, like this one from Talisker

What's good about it? Whisky might be an acquired taste, but if it's one Dad's acquired, then he deserves something special. This blend has been launched to celebrate 175 years of the Talisker distillery. Which is definitely older than your dad!

Buy it from: The Whisky Exchange

iPod touch 

Buy him: something that shows you still think he's wired into the world, like an iPod Touch

What's good about it? Shows you still think he's up to date and not quite ready for slippers and a pipe. You could load it up with music to his taste, even slip in a few unexpected sounds.

Buy it from: Advanced MP3 Players

Saddler Overnight Bag 

Buy him: the gift of good looking luggage

What's good about it: it he has more time on his hands, and is busy jetting off for the weekend, or longer, then good luggage might 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.

Buy it from: Mankind

Snoozy Dads - chilled out gifts for a relaxed parent

Chilled Out Gifts for relaxed dads - The Big Sleep 

Buy him: a box set of his favourite films, or TV series. We like this set of classic Bogart films, including The Big Sleep

What's good about it? It's Father's Day so maybe he doesn't need to be a hive of activity, and will be very happy on the sofa all afternoon. Which is perhaps the best gift of all on Fathers Day.

Buy from: Play.com

Fathers Day Gifts for Snoozy Dads 

Buy him: a bit of peace and quiet every month when you get the magazine of his choice delivered.

What's good about it? You can reflect his interests or desires as there is pretty much a magazine for every kind of hobby. And 12 times a year he'll remember your gift. Particularly if you make him a cuppa to go with it!

Buy from: iSubscribe or Magazine Group

Sleepy Fathers Day Gifts for Snoozy Dads - Bonsoir Pull Ons 

Buy him: something decent to lounge around in.

What's good about this gift? Well, if he wants to spend all day lounging around and being a slacker, at least he can look like a stylish slacker! And be less likely to frighten the milkman in these than if he goes for the naked option.

Buy from: Bonsoir

Omacatl - very probably the world's best hot chocolate 

Buy him: some incredibly indulgent hot chocolate to see him back off to the land of nod, like this special blend from Montezuma's

What's good about it? Maybe he doesn't need any help to have a good snooze, but this stuff is so good he may end up having it at all times of the day. It's about as far removed from a tin of Cadbury's hot chocolate as you can get.

Buy it from: Montezuma's

Boozy Dads - gifts for dads who appreciate a drop of the good stuff 

Boozy gifts for boozy dads - the Beer Machine 2000 

Buy him: the homebrew kit of the 21st century with the Beer Machine

What's good about it? 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 will reward him with 17 pints of beer within 7 to 10 days, without too much effort.

Buy it from: I Want One of Those

Boozy Gifts for Boozy Dads - the perfect chilled Beer Dispenser 

Buy him: a very cool looking beer dispenser of his very own

What's good about it? It's like going to the pub. Without the walk. Just don't forget to buy him a keg of beer to go in it, otherwise he's likely to feel a little disgruntled!

Buy it from: Firebox 

Boozy Gifts for Boozy Dads - Box of Bollinger

Buy him: a drop of the posh stuff with something like this boxed bottle of Bollinger.

What's good about it?  Apparently James Bond has been drinking this stuff since 1953, and look how good he's looking on it! Not done much for his driving skills though.

Buy it from: Majestic 

Boozy Gifts for Boozy Dads - Perfect Margarita Glasses for summer

Buy him: something to make things seem a bit more tropical.

What's good about it? 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 Hawaiian shirts!

Buy from: Drinkstuff and TheDrinkShop

Greeny Dads - cool gifts for ethical dads 

Organic rabbit spiral tshirt by Paul Smith 

Buy him: a stylish tee that doesn't compromise his green principles, like this organic tee shirt from Paul Smith

What's good about it? Well, in addition to being made from organic, that's one crazy pattern going on. All good clean green fun!

Buy it from: Urban Outfitters

Solar phone chargers 

Buy him: something practical, green and quite cool looking like this Solar Phone Charger

What's good about it? Means even up a mountain or on a camping trip he can charge up the phone or other gadgets without the National Grid's help.

Buy it from: Nigel's Eco Store

Ethical Gifts for Green Dads - Fair Trade Red Wine from Virgin Wines 

Buy him: some wine which can be red or pink or white, but always green!

What's good about it? Depending on his preference, there is a huge range of wines now available that are Fairtrade labelled, organic, vegan, sustainable viticulture, even biodynamic, so something for everyone.

Buy it from: Ethical Superstore for a huge range in every colour.

Fish cages from Practical Presents 

Buy him: something that will help fathers less lucky than him.

What's good about it? For £20, Practical Presents will help poor communities fish their way out of poverty through giving them fishing nets, boats and training. Dad gets a groovy fridge magnet and a warm fuzzy feeling from helping others.

Buy from: Practical Presents
