The Best Gifts for Dad

This is a partnered posts written in collaboration with Kira.

When it comes to presents, dads are often the most DIFFICULT people to find gifts for. Many fathers insist that they already have everything they need, leaving us with either cliches, joke presents or wild and often misjudged guesses. Whether your dad is a sports fan, a keen movie watcher or a gadget lover, here are some gift ideas to help you out.

If your dad is DEVOTED to his team and always counting down to the Saturday 3pm kick off, why not buy him some RARE football memorabilia, like a shirt or some autographed merchandise? You could even search for a vintage jersey, perhaps from a particularly special season for his favorite team. Another option is to purchase him a hospitality ticket to a home match – many clubs offer special packages so that he can watch the game in VIP surroundings and even get a slap-up meal, too. 

Maybe your dad prefers to POUND the pavements himself rather than watching the sports channels. If that’s the case, you could always help him to update his gym gear by buying him some new trainers OR a piece of gym equipment. Take a look at K&Co's range of men’s trainers, which boasts hundreds of fashionable designs from the biggest labels to get him kitted out in style. 

If your old man can’t get enough of the silver screen, try and look up some films he might not have seen that you think will suit his tastes. Whether he’s a horror fan or a Western buff, there'll be some forgotten gem you can introduce him to. Alternatively, with TV shows reaching the same quality as films these days, you could always buy your dad a classic TV box set and see if you can get him hooked on Breaking Bad or The West Wing! 

Is your dad a tech LOVER whose gadgets are his pride and JOY? Look up some computer accessories, like iPad keyboards, headphones or a trendy NEW skin. Laptops and tablets are expensive toys, so a stylish leather case can prove to be a very worthwhile investment. 

Ultimately, it’s about finding a PRESENT that suits your father’s personality and passions. When you find the right gift you’ll know about it, and your dad is sure to appreciate the thought you put in.
