Personalised Father's Day Gifts

When is Father's Day?

In the UK, Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June. Orders are made in 1–3 working days and Royal Mail takes 2–3 working days, so aim to order by the start of June to be safe.

Father's Day ideas by type of dad

The dad with a home bar

An engraved pint glass with "Dad's Pint" and the year, or wooden beer mats with his bar name and an "Est." date. Pick from a foaming pint, hops and barley, crossed tankards or wine glass design. More in our home bar gifts.

The barbecue boss

A full-length personalised apron with a title such as "Grill Sergeant". Kids' aprons are available too, so they can match.

The sentimental one

A photo engraved coaster with the kids or the dog, or a photo mug for his morning brew. For his desk, a photo slate stands on its own.

The dad always on the move

A photo keyring for the car keys or a photo phone case keeps the family with him.

Gifts from the kids

Young children love to be involved. Photograph a drawing and print it on a mug or apron, or let them choose the wording: "Best Dad (Says Me)" goes down well. A new dad will enjoy a first Father's Day mug with a photo of the baby.

Engraved or printed?

Engraved gifts, like the pint glass and wooden mats, are permanent and single tone: shades of brown on wood and a frosted etch on glass. Printed gifts, like the mug and phone case, show photos in full colour. If your photo is the main feature and it's colourful, go printed. If it's mostly about the words, engraving looks smart.

Wording ideas

• "Dad's Pint · Est. 1985" (or the year he became a dad)
• "Grandad's Bar" for grandfathers
• His nickname, team or favourite saying
