5 Great Gift Ideas for Father’s Day
Sunday 16th June is Father’s Day in the UK; the perfect opportunity to show your dad just how much he means to you. From teaching us to cycle to providing a taxi service during our teenage years, our dads have been amazing and we want them to know just how much we appreciate them. Here are just a few ideas of how to do it – if you would like something a little bit different or a more personalised gift, get in touch to enlist our help.
Personalised “Remember When….” Print
This is a fantastic way to record your memories of lovely things your dad did for you. Add between ten and fifteen special memories to the order form to create a personalised gift that is sure to go down well. Remember when the stabilisers came off your first bike? When you went on an adventure in a forest? When you learned how to drive? Whatever your favourite memories, tell Rosie Robins and immortalise them forever. An unframed print costs from £38.
Susan hopes that her husband isn’t reading the blog as she has just ordered one of these fabulous mugs for him! Personalise the mug with Dad’s name and provide details of his overall personality, what he likes to do and where he’s from to create a dictionary definition of his very own. For the full experience, additional mugs can also be personalised with a definition of each of the children.
It can’t just be my dad who always took control of the barbecue and claimed to know it all when it came to cooking the perfect steak! Printed with images of a chicken, cow, pig and lamb, the apron shows where each cut of meat comes from – perfect for the lovely sunny summer barbecue season we are (hopefully) about to have. The Butcher’s Kitchen Apron costs £25 from Coconutgrass.
Glenmorangie 25 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Not everyone is interested in personalised gifts but you can’t go far wrong with a really high quality bottle of whisky. The Whisky Shop has hundreds of varieties and gifts available but this bottle of 25 year old Glenmorangie is particularly popular. According to Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2010, this whisky is “Complex, multi-layered varying sweetness one of those great whiskies where the genius that shaped the picture becomes clear only on fifth or sixth time of viewing”. We’re sure it will go down a treat.
If you prefer a shared experience rather than a material gift, why not treat your dad to a special dinner? The Five Fields Restaurant, recently opened in Chelsea, is small enough to feel really special, with just forty seats in the dining room. The seasonal menu utilises rare herbs and vegetables grown in the owner’s own garden. Sample dishes include oyster tartare with bloody Mary, crab, langoustine and red mullet, Yorkshire lamb with spring vegetables and ewe’s curd and a posh version of the old favourite rhubarb and custard.
