15 of the best Father’s Day gifts that he will actually like (and use)
Here's our guide to help you shop for the number one man in your life this Father's Day


Father's Day is fast approaching, falling this year on Sunday the 18th of June, and as usual, many of us are struggling to select the perfect gift. Let's face it, shopping for Father's Day gifts is always stressful. He's the man that seems to have everything, and when you ask him what he would like, he simply responds with: "I don't want anything." Not exactly helpful.
Although it might seem like there is nothing special enough to thank the fatherly figure in your life for all that they have done, a sweet gesture can go a long way. It doesn't have to cost a fortune either. We love to treat our dads to some new socks and a bit of chocolate every year, and we know he secretly looks forward to it too.
If you do want to spend a bit more, why not get him something that he will keep forever such as a new suitcase or headphones?

15 of the best Father's Day gifts to buy now:
This new fragrance from Givenchy is simply stunning. Not only does the bottle look incredible, but notes of sage, vanilla, sandalwood and cedarwood make for a beautiful finish.
If your dad is into wine, then he will love this set from Harvey Nichols. It comes with three French wines including a red, a white and a Champagne.
This makes a great gift that your dad probably wouldn't buy himself. The chic car diffuser clips onto your car's air vent, and you can add any fragrance or essential oil you fancy.
Does your dad's headphones need an upgrade? This new colourway of the Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds is so chic, and you can even get the headphones personalised for free.
Your dad will smile every time he has a cup of tea or coffee in this special mug, with 'Papa' written on the front.
Molton Brown is always our go-to place for gifts, and the Black Peppercorn scent is perfect for Father's Day. This set comes with a shower gel and body lotion to add a bit of luxury to your everyday routine.
If your dad travels a lot, why not treat him to a new suitcase? This Antler one comes in the most stunning sage green colour, and even has a lifetime warranty. How good is that?
You just can't go wrong with a pair of novelty socks. Happy Socks have pulled it out the bag with this 'Father of the Year' set, and we love the fun colours.
A watch is something that your dad will keep forever, and we heart this gunmetal design by Ted Baker, that features a chronograph dial.
If your dad loves to cook, then he will love the Always Pan. This clever piece of equipment replaces ten pieces of cookware, and does everything from fry, boil, steam and more. Oh, and it comes in lots of different colourways like this bold blue shade.
Does you dad love an Old Fashioned? Then this will make an extra special Father's Day gift. A real treat, this whiskey is as spicy as it is lively with notes of vanilla and caramel. Cheers to Dad!
If your dad loves skincare just as much as you, then treat him to this face wash and daily moisturiser duo. Created for tired looking skin and enriched with Vitamin C, he will thank you for this one later.
A shaver is always the best last minute Father's Day gift in our opinion. It's a practical gift they will always use and somehow always need a new one? It's cordless and has a built in trimmer, so it's a winner.
The classic 'I love you Dad' gift. Made from 100% cotton and with BOSS embossed on the back, he will never want to take this one off.
This is your reminder to not forget the Father's Day card! Just as important as the best Father's Day gift is the kind words in the card that come with it. Make it personal with this photo strip card which allows you to add eight of your favourite family photos.
So, there you have it. Lots of great Father's Day gifts to choose from.
