Father's day is coming up on 16 June, so it's time to start thinking about gift ideas. Even if he's the kind of guy who's content with a pint and a strong handshake, why not put the effort in by buying him something genuinely life-improving?

To help out, we’ve rounded up some of the best father's day gifts around, from the chicest dad shoes to the most impressive in-ear headphones. Go on… make it a day to remember.

1

The North Face Base Camp Small Duffle Bag

The North Face Base Camp Small Duffle Bag
£125 at MR PORTER

If your dad is a man that’s constantly travelling, either off on a camping trip or exploring a European city, he’ll need a bag that can do it all. That's where this The North Face duffle comes in..

With a water-resistant outer, 50 litre cylindrical body and a design that can be worn on the shoulder or as a backpack, this durable piece of luggage will see your old man through any adventure. Why not also gift him a holiday, too?

Sunspel x Cheaney Derby

Two British marques have combined their expertise to craft the perfect goes-with-everything smart shoe. Sunspel brings fabric prowess while Cheaney handles the shoe construction, creating a suede Derby that’s been made with care in the latter’s Northampton factory. A special gift for a special guy.

Montblanc aren’t just experts in engineering writing instruments, but leather goods, too, as this leather bifold wallet shows. It truly is 'Meisterstück' – that’s the collection’s name, as well as German for 'masterpiece'.

Creed Aventus Fragrance 100ml

Creed Aventus Fragrance 100ml

If you’re stuck on what to gift the paternal figure in your life, you can’t go wrong with a classic fragrance like Creed Aventus. With a base of cedar and oakmoss and notes of pineapple and lemon, it balances woody and fruity scents in a way that’s near impossible to dislike.

Tommy Hilfiger TH85 Automatic Watch

Tommy Hilfiger TH85 Automatic Watch

What can you always guarantee from Tommy Hilfiger clothes? They’ll be instilled with some all-American charm, but are timeless enough to wear on this side of the Atlantic. That goes for their watches, too, as shown by the contrasting red and blue bezel on the TH85 Automatic.

If you are going to buy your father wine – a pretty useful gift, all things considered: you hopefully get to enjoy some! – you might as well give him something to talk about when he fills your glass up.

That’s where online shop Other World Wines comes in: they showcase wines from regions underrepresented on these shores. Among the highlights, you can pick up a refreshing white from Morocco (chic!) or a low-intervention number from Moldova (this will make him feel cool).

Horace Healthy Glow Duo

Horace Healthy Glow Duo

It’s never too late to start building a skincare routine, and if your father hasn’t got the foggiest idea what's going to hydrate rather than irritate his skin, then French grooming brand Horace is his best port of call.

Many of their customers are new to this world too, so you can trust that their kits – like this one with a Vitamin C serum and dewy moisturiser, designed for glowing skin – ensure maximum results with minimum effort.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

If your Dad is one to wax lyrical about legendary guitar solos, he’ll need a banging set of headphones to supply his dose of riffs. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX delivers, providing super sound that’s been engineered by B&O experts. Better yet, the Active Noise Cancellation feature ensures no background noise will interrupt his groove.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

 Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

That trusty old iPhone 3 has served him well. Sure, the screen is completely smashed, the speaker doesn’t work and the battery conks out at 75%, but it’s done a job, and it deserves a nice retirement.

Which means he'll need a new one. A properly new one. This father’s day, treat your dad to a top-of-the-range model in the form of Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 Ultra. The camera is incredible, it’s juiced for over 24 hours of use, and the curved glass is very, very, very strong. Then there’s the brilliant 200MP camera, the 5G connection and lightning fast interface. It’s the brand’s flagship for a reason.

A Day's March Yamu Shirt

A Day's March Yamu Shirt

We’ve long been fans of Swedish staple brand A Day’s March. If you’re after a solid capsule wardrobe, few menswear labels do it better. They set up shop in Soho’s Berwick Street a few years back, and now they’re opening up a much bigger, three-story shop in a Grade II-listed townhouse a few hops and skips down the same street – complete with events space and bar – and you should celebrate that news by getting down there sharpish and picking up some summer-ready linen presents.

Limited-Edition Nintendo OLED Switch with Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

For the nerd dads that know their Mew from their Mewtwo, there is no greater present for Father’s Day ‘24 than an OLED Switch (a worthwhile upgrade from the OG iteration) complete with a copy of one of the greatest video games ever created: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Just don't expect to hear from him until at least Autumn.

If “socks” is the only response you can garner from “What do you want for Father’s Day, dad?”, you may as well make it some good ones from Stance – the brand that produces socks so durable, they’d probably survive an apocalypse.

Tekla Striped Organic Cotton-Terry Hooded Robe

Tekla Striped Organic Cotton-Terry Hooded Robe

There are two types of dads: those genuinely able to reap satisfaction from a novelty character robe (say, a Jedi dressing gown or a Slytherin cloak), and those who’d much prefer you to spend your money on something more, shall we say, tasteful. Tekla's organic cotton-terry hooded robe is just the ticket for those who fall into the latter.

Danner Panorama Mid Boot

Danner Panorama Mid Boot

But if dad is more Danner than Dior, and not one to vacate his sartorial comfort zone, look to the Panorama Mid Boot. It's everything he wants from an outdoors shoe: rugged, waterproof, abrasion-resistant. It's even complete with an Orthlite footbed.

Dads like it when you think inside the box and replenish their signature scent stock. If that fragrance happens to be Dior Sauvage, Boots’ Sauvage trio, comprising a 100ml bottle of the Eau de Toilette, along with a shower gel and a beard and face moisturiser, has you covered.
