Finding a Father's Day gift sounds simple in theory, right up until you realise dads tend to either buy exactly what they want already or insist they “don’t need anything”. Which is why the best presents are usually the ones which feel thoughtful and personal — whether that’s a smart new shirt, an upgrade to his gym kit or something small he’d never think to buy himself.
This year’s gifting options cover pretty much every type of father figure imaginable. Whether he’s sports obsessed, partial to a good grooming gadget or happiest standing next to a barbecue holding tongs, there’s something here for every budget– including a few useful finds starting from just £1.
Under £20
