Sporty Dad

G-Squad Connect - Men's Watch

G-Squad Connect - Men's Watch

If your dad is totally into sports or fitness, and likes to wake the entire house up in the morning to get their steps in, this could be the best gift (for you and him both). This G-Shock watch not only has the vintage look, but also has great features for those who enjoy running. It counts your steps, calories burned, nudges you to move from time to time, and keeps track of your laps.

Travel Enthusiast Dad

If your dad is outdoorsy and loves going on hiking trails, getting him a bad that can include all of his hiking paraphernalia would be a very solid gift. Decathlon has some really good, sturdy, and roomy options but we love this solid black bag that's a classic!

Bonus Gift: If he's also someone who likes to be a responsible tourist and not create too much plastic trash, he will love this collapsible stainless steel glass from Bare Necessities. It's compact, reusable, and super convenient.

Artist Dad: If your dad has a creative side he loves to explore by way of paintings and crafts on Sunday mornings, nudge him to make his creative projects larger, and gift him an easel and canvas so he can live his best artsy life. Not only will you give him your validation for something he may be underselling as 'just a hobby' (something we know all artists struggle with), but will also inspire him to take on bigger challenges in his craft.

Music Lover Dad: If your dad is always going on about what music used to mean in its heyday, and can spontaneously burst into old songs, the perfect gift for him would be a radio that simply plays old classics on shuffle. The good thing is that it exists! The Caravan music player has settings in which you can choose their curated collections of old songs based on decades or singers, and it plays songs on shuffle for hours!

Chef Dad: Blessed are those who have family members passionate about cooking. If your dad enjoys whipping up the most delicious treats for you and your family, gift him a fancy set of chopping knives that will make the hardest part of cooking much easier.

But if he is someone who truly despises chopping (we understand the pain), this Borosil electric chopper is pretty much a game changer.

Photographer Dad

Fujifilm X-T200 24.2MP Mirrorless Camera

Fujifilm X-T200 24.2MP Mirrorless Camera

It is truly wholesome when dads find obscure interest and develop the habit of photographing them. Whether it is rare-bird spotting or simply capturing memories on a family vacation, fathers making memories is a different genre of cute. If this is anything like your dad, give him the gift to capture his favourite moments in ultra HD.

A professional camera that is also beginner-friendly is not very common, but the reviews for the Fujifilm XS 10 are pretty great. Experts suggest it is one of the easiest cameras to get used to, and is also very compact--perfect for travel and nature photography.

If your dad is a top-notch geek, and is always on the hunt for his next read (read: obsession), the best gift for him would be an e-reader. They are easy on the eyes for hours of use, are lightweight and compact, which makes them easy to hold and use, and the perfect travel buddies. The best bit is that many of them come with access to a library of free books! A better deal is yet to be made.

We love using the Kindle Paperwhite, and found it to be a very good buy for the price it is at!

If your dad already has a Kindle (which is understandable if he loves books), a great idea would be to gift him a Kindle Unlimited or an Audible subscription, so he can have access to more books in more formats.

The Dad Who Loves The Finer Things In Life

If your dad prefers to exist on the fancier side of life, and loves to indulge in the best food, chocolates, and wine then we suggest you gift him the following things.

But that's not all, to take the edge off this DIY project, you can pop open a bottle of wine that comes with a personalised sticker that you can choose!
