Gifts for dad

It's notoriously difficult to buy presents for dads. They rarely tell us what they need or want, or what's broken or needs upgrading. Nevertheless, below you will find some great tips for finding the perfect present for your dad this Christmas.

Gifts for enthusiasts

Does your father spend most of his free time in the workshop? If so, he's sure to appreciate new tools. Likewise, if he's often in the garden on warmer days, a new pair of garden shears, an axe or even a saw are bound to go down well. If you really want to push the boat out, go for a chainsaw or a lawnmower.

Gifts for car lovers

Is your father's car his pride and joy? Then why not get him something to make it even better! Does he have an outdated car radio that needs upgrading? Another option is a dash cam, which can film the road ahead during car journeys. Other car-related gifts include car fragrances, a new smartphone holder, or a GPS navigation device.

Gifts for active fathers 

Whether your father is into walking, fishing, or more active sports, some new equipment is bound to go down well.

Technology and electronics

If your dad is passionate about technology, why not get him a new smartphone, tablet or laptop. Smart home products will allow him control appliances, lighting, heating, and home security using a smart device. If you are looking for a more affordable gift, how about a compact camera, radio, or even an external hard drive.
