Picking out Father’s Day gifts can be challenging, with different budgets, hobbies and interests to consider. Here are a few of our top picks for 2026, with ideas to suit all pockets.
Astro Bot phone holder from Cable Guys
£30
Inspired by the PlayStation character Astro Bot, this guy is guaranteed to make a gaming-fan dad smile this Father’s Day. Standing at around 20cm tall, this colourful character can stand next to dad’s games console holding his controller, or near a PC or on a coffee table with his phone while each is charging.
It’s a quirky gift that’s affordable and useful, adding a splash of robot-shaped fun to Father’s Day and beyond.
MEATER Pro single probe
£129
The BBQ usually seems to be the domain of the dad, so a BBQ-related gadget will make a perfect Father’s Day gift!
This smart cooking tool will mean Dad can serve up succulent, well-cooked meat every time he fires up the barbecue. The probe connects to the Meater app and provides all the information you need to ensure the meat is perfectly cooked. Just push the probe into the thickest part of the meat and throw it onto the barbecue. The app will let you know once the internal temperatures are at the right level and the meat is cooked.
Meater Pro will be the gift that keeps on giving, as you tuck into beautifully barbecued food all summer long.
Subversive Scents by The Rolling Stones
From £35
We all love our dads to have a signature scent – that one smell that evokes memories of them now and in years to come. But wouldn’t it be great if that scent could be shared with sons and daughters, too?
Subversive Scents has created a range of genderless fragrances centred on the rebellious, iconic stories of the Rolling Stones. Each scent has a different scent profile, inspired by a Rolling Stones track.
Satisfaction blends notes of warm spices, tobacco and Patchouli with a musky hint of cedar. Urban Jungle marries the tang of grapefruit and rhubarb with sweet grass and worn leather, while Paint it Black combines musk, sandalwood and Patchouli with jasmine, nutmeg and burning oud.
If you’re not sure which of the five scents to choose, then opt for the discovery pack, which includes a 5ml bottle of each, so you can try them all.
Flower Mountain Rulis unisex trainers
£210
Trainers are always a great gift, but for something just a little different, head to Flower Mountain. Combining Japanese craftsmanship with modern design, Flower Mountain launched in the UK in 2021, bringing its unique fusion across the unisex range.
Rulis brings splashes of brightness to the earthy colour palette, creating the perfect balance between bold and subtle. The strong and stable upper tops a moulded rubber sole, and the insole is made from natural cork, which has antibacterial properties to keep the trainers as fresh as possible.
If Dad would prefer something a little more colourful, Flower Mountain has a great range of alternative styles and colours, which are well worth checking out.
Chelsea Peers organic cotton print Toucan short pyjama set
£55
If he likes something that’s both colourful and comfortable to lounge around in, then this short PJ set from Chelsea Peers will make dad’s day.
Made from 95% certified organic fabric, the playful toucan print pairs elasticated, drawstring shorts with a button-down, short-sleeve top. The set feels incredibly soft against the skin, with a little stretch that allows it to move comfortably with the body. They wash and wear well, with colours holding true even after repeated turns through the laundry cycle.
They make fabulously fun Father’s Day gifts that are perfect for wearing while relaxing on holidays or slow summer weekends.
Berghaus Everyday Cap
£30
If he’s hard to buy for but loves to get out and about in the sunshine, this stylish yet simple cap from Berghaus is an excellent choice.
There’s no need to worry about getting the right size, as it’s a one-size-fits-all option. The only choice you need to make is the colour. The nylon fabric is lightweight and comfortable to wear, no matter what the weather is doing.
The five-panel design creates a classic, understated look with subtle Berghaus branding that adds style rather than spectacle.
Great for an outdoorsy dad with a great sense of style, it’ll be one of his favourite Father’s Day gifts that he’ll wear for years to come.
Cox&Co farm to bar chocolate
£4.50 for a 70g bar
Who doesn’t love getting a delicious bar of chocolate as a gift? The only way to improve that is to make it an ethically produced bar packaged in entirely recyclable packaging…
Enter Cox&Co. The founder’s mission was to do just that. And he has. Working with Luker Chocolate in Colombia, Cox&Co has created a diverse range of chocolate flavours, including bee pollen and honey, and miso and caramel, to name just a few.
Bee pollen and honey flavour: The chocolate is beautifully creamy, with tiny beads of bee pollen running through it. The 60% chocolate is sweetened with a touch of honey, giving it a rich, delicious flavour that dark chocolate lovers will particularly enjoy.
Miso and caramel flavour: With 47% Colombian cacao, the chocolate is flavoured with creamy caramel and miso, creating a beautiful flavour that enhances the chocolate, rather than overpowering it. While it is dark chocolate, it has no hint of bitterness, so if Dad prefers a gentler flavour, this is an excellent choice.
Dan & Co Meat Carving Board with drip tray and dipping pots
£40
If Dad is an avid chef, this bamboo carving board will be a great gift this Father’s Day. Whether he’s making a Sunday roast or a barbecue meal, it’s a great way to slice the meat and present it at the table, while catching any juices in the slot-in metal tray. Whether catching them to add to the gravy or just keeping the table clean and tidy, it’s a great way to keep things neat.
There are also three dipping bowls built into the carving board, so any sauces, chutneys or seasoning are all at hand as the family or guests tuck in.
The carving board is made from bamboo, so it’s more resistant to bacteria than a traditional wooden chopping board and is more knife-friendly, too.
Dad will love using this versatile chopping board for family dinners and entertaining all year round.
Nelson’s Blood Blood orange spiced rum by Bullards
£45
For any dads who like a spiced rum, Nelson’s Blood is a must this Father’s Day. This delicious spirit from heritage drinks brand Bullards is a special edition flavour, so it won’t be around forever. It exquisitely blends the vibrant zesty flavour of blood orange with the warmth of vanilla, tonka bean and black cardamom to create a spirit that any spiced rum fan will savour.
At 42.5% ABV, it’s great over ice, in a rum cocktail or as a longer drink mixed with ginger ale. Why not pour Dad a tot to celebrate his day? Once the bottle is empty, hang on to it and order an eco-refill pouch, ensuring his next tipple is even more sustainable.
Yoose Mini 5 Portable Foil Shaver
£88
For dads who love to travel and look tidy while doing it, the Mini 5 from Yoose
is a great gift. This mini, portable foil shaver is perfect for holidays, weekends away, or use on the go. It can slip easily into a washbag, holdall or rucksack and, with around 90 minutes of use from each charge, will be ready whenever he needs a quick wash and brush-up.
Not only is the design fairly lightweight and very compact, but it’s also waterproof, so he can use it in the shower. The magnetic head is easy to remove, so it can be kept clean and clear of blockages for a great shave every time.
It comes complete with a cover, a travel bag, a cleaning brush and a USB charging cable, so Dad will have everything he needs in one little box.
