Buying gifts for Dad – or any kind of father figure - is notoriously tricky. How do you treat the guy that has everything and claims he wants nothing?

Not to mention every family type looks different and there’s a huge range of people who might wear the ‘Dad’ shoes.

With Father’s Day 2023 fast approaching, why not think beyond the funky socks, and buy your father figure a unique gift they’ll love? To help you out, we’ve rounded up 30 Father’s Day gift ideas, for whoever they are, and whatever they’re interested in.

When we say ‘Dad’, you decide how you define it. Your stepdad, Grandad, big brother, or uncle might fit into a category instead. And if it’s your Mom/s you’re shopping for, feel free to revisit our Mother’s Day gift guide and take some inspo from there too.

Oh, and did we mention, all the gift ideas are sustainable? That way you can look out for the Earth like your father figure looked out for you.

The Style-icon Dad

Forget the socks and sandals, this dad knows how to dress. He’s sleek. He’s stylish. And he never stops going on about how you really should change out of your sweats.

The Travel Dad

Flight times? Knows them off by heart. Passports? Got them in a plastic wallet. Airport? There 5 hours early. When he’s in ‘airport Dad mode’, this travel man doesn’t mess around.

The Hipster Dad

Commonly seen with a man-bun and mustache, a wild hipster Dad can be found at your local indie coffee shop. He’ll be drinking a flat white with oat milk, of course.

The Outdoorsy Dad

Ahhh, the one that taught you to climb trees, camp out, and give your grandmother a god-awful fright. We owe a lot to the green-fingered folks who sparked our sense of adventure.

The Tech Dad

The name’s Dad. Tech, Dad. This gadget geek loves his devices like a kid loves candy.

The Chef Dad

This king of the kitchen loves to cook for his family and hearty portion sizes are his speciality. Leftovers? Not on his watch!

The Workaholic Dad

 These busy bees rarely take breaks, and when they do it’s usually to top up on caffeine and scoff at their packed lunch.

The Dad Who Definitely Didn't Want a Dog

Dogs aren’t just any man’s best friend. They’re the not-a-chance-in-the-world-are-we-getting-a-dog-man’s best friend. Treat the pooch, and you’re treating the reluctant dog dad too.

Can’t find the fit for your father figure? Don’t worry, we’ve got more!

We based these Father’s Day gift ideas on all the things Dads are best known and loved for. But, we’ll admit, they’re a little stereotypical.

Every Dad and father figure is unique and yours might not fit neatly into the categories above. If that’s the case, don’t worry, there’re plenty more ideas where these came from.

You can find our full Father’s Day Gift collection here, and if that still doesn’t cut it, we’ve got a whole marketplace of goodies you can explore. Every father figure deserves something that celebrates the superstar they are.
