Dads: they spend years insisting they don’t need a thing and then light up at the smallest gesture, be it a heartfelt card or a well-timed joke. So, while they might say Father’s Day isn’t a big deal, we know better. Whether he’s a weekend tinkerer, a globetrotting adventurer or someone quietly curious about his roots, a gift that taps into his passions can say more than any pint at the pub. From clever keepsakes to future heirlooms and hands-on hobbies, we’ve tracked down presents that go beyond desk gadgets and novelty mugs. Because this year, it’s not about ticking a box – it’s about celebrating the quirks, the wisdom and the low-key brilliance that make him one of a kind. A little effort goes a long way, and with the right gift, he'll know just how much he's appreciated. Scroll on for our top picks, including limited-time deals you won’t want to miss.
