Orient Men’s FUG1R003W0 Capital Analog-Display Japanese Quartz Watch

Find Lowest Price

Your dad might be the type of guy that has kept his old watch that he was given for his 18th birthday all those many, many years ago. If he is, a great choice is to bring him in to the 21st century with the new and sleek design of the Japanese Orient Capital Analog Display Watch. The 40.5 millimetre casing is made from stainless steel and the face is made from mineral glass, which is water resistant up to 30 metres. Bear in mind that this is not a waterproof watch, and it should only be considered splash resistant, and it cannot be used for swimming. This is a quartz watch that is battery powered, and the battery can be easily replaced when need be by a careful set of hands, usually at a watchmaker or jeweller. Battery powered quartz watches are the standard issue when it comes to modern watch making, but the original automatic watches of the 15th and 16 centuries were all made by hand, and without battery power. There are some benefits to having an automatic watch, like the fact that there’s no battery that can run out. They also have more ‘soul’ as they are closer to the purity of watchmaking history.  However, the truth is that quartz watches can outperform automatic watches in accuracy, and they don’t need to have a pricey tune up every few years. Your dad will find that he just won’t be able to do without the Orient Capital once he’s worn it for a few days.

Most dads like to keep their beards neat and tidy if they have one, and even if they don’t they probably shave a few times per week. With this Barber Shaving Kit from Merkur they can turn the chore of manscaping their faces into something much more enjoyable and relaxing.

This full set comes with one Merkur 38C barber pole safety razor, one bowl of ‘Taylor of Old Bond Street Luxury Shave Cream’, one Royal Shave black and silvertip badger hair shaving brush, and one 10-pack of Merkur blades with a Royal Shave styptic pencil in case of accidental nicks thrown in. He will definitely switch over to using this shaving kit full time once he realises how much closer, cleaner and more comfortable his shaves have become, you can trust us on that!

Zepp Golf 3D Swing Analyzer

Find Lowest Price

Some dads are sporty, and there are quite a few who like to take a few swings at the driving range when they get a day off or a long weekend. Now they can analyse and perfect their form with the Zepp “Golf 3D Swing Analyzer”, a gyro which is easily clipped on to a golf glove, which then records data about his swing performance and suggests ways to improve it! The pairing with cellphone app technology allows him to replay and review his swing in 360° from any angle, and it can track his club head speed, backswing position, hand path, swing plane, hip rotation and more. He can also see how his own swing measures up to the real PGA Tour professionals, as it has 3D video showing how they play too. This gadget works with iPhone, iPad, and almost every Android device. Although this may seem like a somewhat novelty gift, we promise that it works like a charm and will help him to improve his game in no time. He’ll be the most improved player at his club in a matter of weeks, and he’ll be the one winning beers of his friends this time!

Any amateur stargazer will be over the moon to see that this telescope comes with a free copy of the Orion Moon Map 260 that usually retails for $12.99. This book will teach your dad all about the amazing lunar features he will witness when he peeks through the lens, and might spark a new hobby for serious stargazing in the future. If he’s not a night-sky kind of guy, this telescope is not only great for star gazing but it works just as well in the day time for bird and wildlife spotting.

‘Terre D’Hermes’ by Hermes Parfum Spray (2.5 OZ)

Find Lowest Price

You might be wondering what else your dad might enjoy this year, and one of the nicest gifts to give is a classy cologne. The Hermes brand will probably ring a bell with those of us who know a little about perfumery, because they’re not exactly a massive mainstream name, but they certainly cater to the more exclusive market. The smell of the Terre D’hermes is truly unique, as it incorporates burnt orange, melon and grapefruit, giving it a tangy, zesty nose. The top notes on this cologne are woody, fairly complex and beautifully blended. It has a good longevity and projection, and over time the warmer wood base comes out more as the citrus dies down a little. Terre D’hermes is classy and different, making it wearable in many different scenarios. You may not expect it to be very versatile because of the citrus core, but it really does suit most outfits when the citrus flattens down into a deeper marmalade like smell. The bottle itself has a solid glass construction with a twisty cap for ease of use. Your dad will love smelling fresh and unique with this cologne, and you might even notice his confidence soar to new heights!

850 ml Decorative Etched Glass Globe Decanter

Find Lowest Price

This handcrafted liquor decanter is every armchair adventurer’s dream, as it has an accurate world map frosted on to the exterior and a sunken glass ship which rests in the middle. Your dad will be able to keep his best brandy, whiskey or wine as good as new in this decanter because it has a tight fitting glass stopper, but we would recommend not leaving wine in it for too long, as it will naturally start to bitter as soon as it is opened. The 850 ml capacity of the decanter can hold an entire bottle of liquor or wine with ease, and you also get a bonus bar funnel to make pouring from the decanter quick and easy. As every part of this work of art is hand-crafted, you can see that the details are expertly carved and etched in to every single aspect of the whole piece. When his friends or the in-laws come around he can impress them by pouring them a drink right from the depths of the world.

Weber 121020 Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill

Find Lowest Price

We all love a good barbeque, but taking your big gas grill on a camp out or picnic is not at all practical. Get your dad ready for next summer with this “Go-Anywhere” charcoal grill by Weber. This grill may look small but you are still able to get 160 square inches of grilling space out of it, which can fit a fair bit of food if we might say so! It has a unique leg design that is steel plated and is able to secure the lid while it is being transported. With its glass-reinforced nylon handle your dad will not have to worry about burning his hands while grilling his favourite steaks, veggies or sausages. There are also two adjustable dampers, and each contain 3 vent holes that will allow him to regulate the air flow to get that perfect convection heat when he puts on the lid. If your father is the type of man that not only loves his BBQ but takes it very seriously, this gift will certainly spark a flame of excitement that will have him counting down the days to summer.

Hario Metal Coffee Dripper, Copper

Find Lowest Price

Make his morning coffee exciting again with the Hario VDM 2 Cup Coffee Dripper. This dripper is not just a quirky looking coffee cup, it actually works by filtering boiling water through bottom of the cup itself to brew the coffee. The cup is made from the best heat resistant borosilicate glass right from the Hario glass factory in Japan, so you know that it is of a really high quality. The unique shape of the interior of the cup allows for fast and rich extraction, and the ridges help prevent a vacuum from forming which can slow down the dripping process. You can buy him some nice artisan filter coffee to go along with this contraption, and he will be able to make a big special cup of joe whenever he wants. You will need to get proper funnel coffee filters to go along with this cup as well, but these are cheap and you can find them at just about any convenience store. In Japanese, Hario means “King of Glass”, and they really do make some stunning artistic pieces!

RAVPower External Battery Portable Charger Power Bank

We are all constantly connected to a phone or handset, and we tend to drain their batteries a lot faster than we really should. Make sure you are always able to get hold of your dad when you need him, with this RAVPower “External Battery Portable Charger Power Bank”. Your dad’s phone will never run out of power again when he’s away from home, and he can store it easily in his car or keep it in a safe space that he might need it like at work. This power bank will not only charge his phone, but amazingly it has the capability to charge two tablets at once. No matter what type of phone your father uses he will be able to get more than one recharge out of this nifty power bank as it is able to recharge an iPhone 7 almost 5.5 times, and a Galaxy S7 almost 3.5 times. It also has handy LEDs to keep him informed about the remaining capacity of the bank as well as a built-in flashlight for dark or low-light environments. Help your dad stay connected this Christmas – you just know that with all those long family Christmas calls your dad will probably forget to keep his phone charged!

Guide to the Best Gifts for Dads

Dad gifts shouldn’t be as lame as dad jokes, because he’s usually the only one having a good time when they’re happening. You want to give him a gift that lets him know that you really care about him, and our list is packed with quality items that do just that. We like to move just a little further away from the norm when it comes to gifting, because you can so quickly get caught in the trap of thinking a gift card is a good idea for your dad, or worse, that he needs even more golf shirts. Think a little bit further outside the box, like tech gifts or even novelty items if he’s a picky gifter.Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions about the best gifts for dads, and perhaps you’ll get some extra ideas about what to buy for him this year!

What are the best gifts for dads?

If you can afford it, shopping for a nice gift that will make his life easier or give him something to brag about is a nice way to start. Buying him a shiny new watch might not be in your budget, but a coffee dripper or a power bank to charge his phone are really not too expensive and can make great useful gifts.

Convenience – he might always be forgetting to keep his tablet charged, and always moans about how long it takes to find his charger cable every time he needs it. In that case, you can get him the RAVPower External Battery Portable Charger Power Bank which will solve the problem of running low on battery. This unit can charge two phones, tablets or other accessories at the same time, and it has a massive capacity which will be able to charge the same phone fully a few times before the power bank itself is depleted. These gifts aren’t gimmicks, they really give him something to use and make his life that much easier.

Functional Art – If your dad likes to have décor around the house that doesn’t just look nice, but actually does something, you could buy him the globe shaped whiskey decanter. It’s fully hand made, and makes for an amazing eye-catching addition to any living room or study. When his friends or the in-laws come around he can impress them by pouring them a drink from this classy and functional art piece.

Play to his interests – If he likes sports, you can get him a sports related gift, such as the Golf swing analyser by Zepp. This little gadget will let him know that you do want him to go out and have a good time on the course, even if you don’t seem to pay too much attention to the stories he comes back with afterwards. He can also see how his own swing measures up to the real PGA Tour professionals, as it has 3D video showing how they play too. This gadget works with iPhone, iPad, and almost every Android device. Perhaps he has an interest in astronomy, and you can get him the GoScope Refractor Travel Telescope Moon Kit, which he can use to star gaze or moon gaze whenever he pleases. Going for a gift that matches his interests somewhat will make him feel appreciated.

A watch – This is a great gift for any man, because they can always be added to an outfit as a useful and stylish accessory. In particular, automatic watches have some benefits, like the fact that there is no battery that can run out. They also have more ‘soul’ as they are closer to the purity of watchmaking history. There’s a lot of heritage in an automatic watch, spanning hundreds of years. Quartz technology quickly surpassed this heritage, and it is also true that quartz makes watches a lot more accurate at time-keeping. In all, a quartz watch is technically better than an automatic one because it is more accurate, more durable and cheaper to make. Automatic watches also need to be sent to a workshop for a tune-up every couple of years to keep them running accurately, but with proper maintenance it will last him a lifetime!

If you’re worried that your dad might buy the very thing you’re planning on getting him, you can try to steer him away from buying it, or simply flat out tell him that someone special is already working on it.

What are the best gifts for dads who don’t want anything?

The most difficult person to buy gifts for is the dad who seems to have it all and tells you not to buy him anything, but this might actually be a little bit deceiving. When you give someone a meaningful gift, it may not matter that they have something similar already – the fact that it has come from you will mean a lot, and they will be proud to show it off or tell everyone what you did for them.

Novelty gifts – how about reminding him of your childhood by getting him a really, really annoying sounds gadget? This one comes with sounds such as nails on a chalkboard, a crying baby, alarm clock sounds and more! These fun types of gifts will give him a laugh, and they really won’t set you back much in terms of money. Most novelty gifts are cheaper than $20, and if you’re already trying to move away from expensive birthday and festive gifts you can definitely give him a novelty gift as a gesture that you do still care. You could even get him a pug in a mug tea infuser from the same website as the ‘really, really annoying sounds gadget’ if he likes dogs, which are currently going at $20 for 3!

Experiences – don’t just buy your dad something that he might put on the shelf and never use again, get out there and give him the time of his life. Perhaps he likes to go ice-skating, hiking or road tripping. You can organise a camping trip away with the family or even just the two of you. Get creative and find an activity that you can share together to make it special. These moments will be more special than any gift you can give him, and he will cherish those memories for a long time.

Personalised gifts – You can get his name monogrammed on just about anything you want nowadays – beer mugs, hoodies, bath robes, coffee cups, a headboard, a keychain – you name it! When he sees his name on a gift he won’t be able to help but fall in love with it, because it will feel like it’s been his all along. Another way to get him a personalised gift is to make it yourself, and we’ve even outlined just how you might want to go about doing this right below.

What are good DIY homemade gifts for dads?

If you’re handy with arts and crafts you can make him a cute or useful do-it-yourself present, and these can often be really great gifts for dads who are difficult to shop for – or if you’re on a tight budget! The personal touch of a DIY gift will say a lot to your dad about how much he means to you, and this will give him bragging rights to all his friends and family about just how great you are.

You can find any number of awesome ideas for do-it-yourself gifts for men online, such as bottle openers, photo booklets, keychains, goodie hampers, a moustache mug or a neck tie zipper bag, plus so many more. If you’re going to be doing a DIY gift you should keep in mind what your budget is, and how much time you’re going to have to spend on the gift. Staying in budget will save you from overspending by buying a bulk order of nuts and bolts when you really only needed a few to make that keychain you saw on Pinterest.

You need to be sure that you have the time to commit to a hands-on project, because sometimes these activities will take quite a while – waiting for something like glue or paint to dry is one of the examples that you might run in to. Thinking about the cost of the materials is also a good idea: if you are making a simple gift this may not be a problem, but some craft materials can be very pricey or come in a much larger quantity than you really need. Budgeting your time and money for a DIY gift is an essential part of the process. Here is a fun video by Amanda Nicole DIY about gifts for fathers day which might give you some great ideas for the best gifts for dads that you can do yourself:
