Gift Ideas for Dad's Birthday

Dads are notoriously difficult to buy for, mostly because they either already own everything they need or genuinely don't want much. The trick is usually to buy for a hobby or habit rather than 'Dad' as a category — the shed, the garden, the golf bag, the barbecue, the football team he supports. A gift that fits into something he already does tends to land far better than a generic 'dad gift' like socks or a mug. If he's a gadget person, there's always something new worth trying; if he's more old-school, a well-made physical item (a proper tool, a good bottle, something for his car) usually beats anything digital. Tell us a bit about him below and we'll tailor ideas to fit.
