Father's Day Gift Ideas/Gift Guide!

If like me you really struggle to find presents for your Dad for Father's Day look no further… 
Here are some ideas which might give you some inspiration!




My Dad's birthday is also in June so this can be an expensive month! As a result I always buy a few little affordable presents to give to him as a birthday and Father's day present combined!


These mugs from Next Home are the perfect gift for my Dad as he's a huge sailing enthusiast! These were only £8 which I didn't think was too bad at all. 


I think mugs in general always make a good gift if your dad is a big tea or coffee drinker! 
Also you could buy a plain white mug from Asda for a couple of pounds and decorate it yourself for a personal touch. 


Another idea for a personalised mug is to make one with a photograph from a website such as Photobox.  Photobox actually have a Father's day offer on at the moment as well which is good and makes it an even more affordable gift!

These socks were another bargain from River Island and were 3 for £7. 
Again I chose styles that suite his personality and hobbies. They had a large range of designs to choose from.


Like mugs I think socks are a great gift for Dads and they are something that they probably will always need but don't like to spend their own money on! Shops such as Burton and Next also have similar offers on socks for men and again have a variety of patterns.

Chocolate is always a great gift for any occasion and there are hundreds of different types of chocolate out there to choose from. 


As my Dad lives in the US he is not always able to get his hands on some of the tasty chocolates that the UK has to offer... so for every occasion I always buy him at least one bar of Cadbury's Fruit and Nut chocolate which is his favourite!! Chocolate is so cheap and can really beaf out a gift if you feel like you can't afford to buy loads of individual presents.


The last gift that I bought was a t-shirt also from Next which has a picture of an old Volkswagen Beetle car on it. 


Another thing that most Dads like are cars! and my Dad is definitely one of those Dads… 
This top was around £20 which was expensive but I thought the Beetle was appropriate for him and I figured this would be his 'main' present! 


I got this in a size Large to be on the safe side! 
Next do lots of other designs of t-shirts which are perfect for Father's Day. Burton is another particularly good shop for mens clothing and I actually bought a lovely polo shirt type top for my Step Dad for Father's Day there and it was only £10!! Burton also do student discount which is an added bonus for you UK students out there!

I feel like you can't really go wrong with a nice smart or casual t-shirt for your Dad for Father's Day and there are loads out there in the shops at the moment to choose from! 

Also with the exception of the mugs all of the gifts mentioned are relatively light weight and if your Dad lives away like mine does this is an important factor to consider so that the postage isn't extortionate! 


I hope this has given you some inspiration for Father's Day gifts this year!
