When it comes to Father’s Day, birthdays or even Christmas Day, many men might insist they don’t need anything when it comes to gifts or presents. They can make it tough for anyone wanting to buy them a gift.
Mr C, my husband, who is our breadwinner, feels a gift is unnecessary because we would be spending his own hard-earned money on himself. He does not realise that sometimes these gifts (that I have picked for him) are not just simply showing our appreciation, but they are also useful material things for his daily life!
The best Father’s Day gifts depend on the kind of men they are. There are wine dads, sporty dads, tech-savvy dads, geeky dads, foodie dads and more. Mr C is more of a tech-savvy dad. He likes his music and wildlife photography. These are the top three gifts that I picked for him that are worth more than their price tag in usefulness that will upgrade his lifestyle.
For Dads Who Travel & Music – Beats Headphones
Mr C loves his music and with these lightweight wireless headphones, it delivers clear, full-bodied, bold sound while he is on the go. The cushioned ear cups are covered with faux leather material on the ear pads and the headband cushion fits tightly so ensuring there is minimal noise leakage. The foldable arm design makes it easy to carry around with the carry case and metal hook provided.
They are very straightforward to connect with Bluetooth and it is an easy win for anyone with Apple or Android devices. It delivers up to 40 hours of battery life with integrated on-ear controls coupled with dual beam-forming mics that allow you to take calls, play music, adjust volume and activate Siri.
These sleek Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones come in three colours: black, red and rose gold. You can never go wrong with a set of black coloured headphones for your father or father figure!
For Dads Who Loves The Outdoors – Hugo Boss Menswear & Men’s Gilets
Mr C loves his photography. Whenever he is free, he loves to go out for a walk with his camera taking photos of wildlife. This Barbour International Ousten hooded gilet paired with this set of 3 Hugo Boss crew neck t-shirts is the perfect match in heaven for our British weather.
Some days, we experience four seasons in a day! Early morning, it will be autumnal where it is cold but not freezing cold. In the mid-morning, it may be slightly warmer with a spring feel. In the afternoon, the day will be at its hottest and can feel like summer! Finally, late at night, it can drop to near wintery conditions again. By pairing him with this cosy gilet and t-shirt, he can remove it or wear it to suit the weather!
Mr C is wearing a small size in black colour. This lightweight padded gilet comes with a fixed hood, two buttoned pockets, a buttoned chest pocket and an inner Velcro pocket. Mr C is loving how this gilet is so comfortable to wear and keeps him warm.
The Barbour Fibre Down is sewn into the garments to keep the body very warm and cosy. It has excellent water resistance which means it keeps its insulating properties even when wet. The water gets caught in the air pockets between the fibres rather than in the fibres themselves, allowing the garment to dry much more quickly.
This Hugo Boss classic crew neck t-shirt set comes in three colours: white, green and black. It is made from 100% pure cotton with the brand name printed on the chest area. The materials are quite thin and comfortable. Mr C is wearing a medium size for this regular fit. With this outfit, it will keep him warm and cosy no matter the weather!
Bonus Gift Idea: Thoughtful, Practical Accessories That Never Go Out of Style
When you’re stuck for a gift idea, sometimes the best options are the ones that combine style and functionality — gifts that can be used every day and make life a little easier. If your dad is hard to shop for, why not go for something practical, stylish, and useful? A gift that not only looks great but also serves a purpose.
One area many men tend to overlook when building their wardrobe is the small details — the accessories. These often get pushed aside, but they’re essential to completing a look. A stylish watch, a personalized wallet, or a high-quality leather belt can make all the difference. These accessories are often the finishing touches that elevate an outfit from good to great, and they’re pieces that your dad will actually use every day.
A new pair of glasses is another accessory that blends both function and fashion. Whether your dad needs prescription glasses to improve his vision or just wants a fresh, stylish look with a new pair of fashionable frames, glasses are a timeless gift. These are often the pieces that men don’t think about but truly need, making them a perfect gift to show you care about the little details that help him feel his best.
Did you know that Father’s Day is always celebrated on the third Sunday in June? This year, Father’s Day falls on 18th June. You have less than a month from now to get them a gift.
