Here’s what to get the dad who has everything this Christmas
You're welcome...
If your dad’s anything like mine, whenever present-buying time rolls around I spend most of it tearing my hair out. Christmas is no different and figuring out what to get for him can be a bit tricky, especially if he’s the kind of person that will just jump out and buy something when he wants it.
However, we’ve done the digging and found some of the most best Christmas gifts for dad this year – from stylish buys he’s sure to love to books he’ll spend the rest of Christmas Day flicking through.
Cool Gifts for Dad
Fashion’s kind of our wheelhouse here at Marie Claire and we’ve curated the best menswear for pop this year. If his office wardrobe needs a major style injection, Penrose London’s gorgeous ties will see him through and Matt & Nat David Briefcase is a neutral, sophisticated accessory that will go with any outfit.
With winter well and truly underway, he’ll be able to bundle up warm with an elegant coat from Weekday and a Loewe scarf. And if he really needs to start staying on top of his skincare, goodies from ESPA and Daimon & Barber are a great starting point.
Funny Gifts for Dad
If dad’s got a good sense of humour, then we’ve got a few ideas for him. Aesop’s gorgeous brown bottle is a great distraction for what’s actually on the label – post-poo drops for after he does his business. Urban Outfitter’s Christmas Beard Baubles are also grounds for numerous Christmas selfies and way more hilarious than decorating the tree.
