Birthday Gifts for Dad

Your dad is the first man in life you will ever love, your hero and, in some cases, your best friend. For some it’s an incredible relationship, but sometimes that is not the case, leading to relationships that are less close-knit than society ideals. That is where buying a gift for their birthday becomes difficult. You’re not quite sure what to buy. Even if you have an amazing relationship with your dad, it doesn’t mean finding him a gift is plain sailing. Find Me a Gift are here to help you, whatever your relationship with your dad and whatever your experiences with gifting. Perhaps you hate buying gifts in general. Perhaps you’re just stuck on this one particular occasion with this one particular person. Perhaps you just need a little bit of inspiration and pow! the perfect gift will pop into your head. Perhaps you can’t be bothered with dear old dad and need something last-minute. We’ve got the answers, the gifts and the tips below.

You know who you’re buying for

Whether he’s your superhero, your stepdad or the biological bloke you see once a year, you need a gift to suit. Whilst we don’t have categories for different types of dads, we can give you some inspiration. For the dad who you adore aka your best friend, something that says as such is a good way to go. From a personalised poster to a gift experience pack called “I Love Dad”, look out for the more sentimental of options. For your stepdad, perhaps he’s as good a dad as what your biological dad should have been; a “By My Side” lightbox might get him to choke up a little. Perhaps he’s the stepdad you have a lot of laughs with – a novelty gift is always a good option. As for the dad that’s in and out of your life, any gift experience of your choosing could build up a relationship, if you want one. Or, if in doubt, go for the classic alcohol gift and get it over and done with.

You know exactly what you’re looking for

If you know your dad pretty well, you’ve probably got a good idea of what to buy him. Maybe you’ve gone straight to the source and asked him what he wanted this year. Either way, the quickest, most efficient way of finding something on any website, as you know, is to search for it. Our search bar is at the top in case you missed it. Some gifts that you won’t find for dad on this website are fragrance, men’s body products, clothing, luxury, high-end jewellery or entertainment in the book, CD and DVD area. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, we are more than happy to point you in the right direction.

You know the occasion, but not the gift

It’s the one day a year that’s all about him (apart from Father’s Day). With gift experiences from supercar drives and days out to food experiences and TV and stadium tours, there’s plenty of choice wherever his interests lie. If he’s celebrating a milestone birthday, there are tonnes of personalised gifts he can cherish such as a glass set and a wall art featuring the music memories you both share. If all else fails, a pack of mints with “Grumpy Old Git” on the tin might crack a smile.

You know what he will love but need a nudge in the right direction

When it comes to finding a gift for your dad, think of what he loves and his personality. Combine those thoughts with Find Me a Gift’s three gifting ingredients: experience, sentimentality, and fun; you’ll have noticed that we’ve already given examples throughout this content. When you combine these three things, you can’t really go wrong. The experience ensures memories to last a lifetime, the sentimentality of it shows how much you love him, especially if it is a gift with your unique message on it, and the fun part is all about making him laugh and smile.

You need something ASAP, whatever the gift

If you couldn’t be bothered to find a gift for your dad in advance, you’ve had too little time on your hands or you mixed your weeks up, we have a range of gifts that are available on Next Day Delivery, meaning your panicking for no reason can stop now. What’s more, all our gift experiences are available in eVouchers that can be sent straight to your email within thirty minutes. Dad is going to have no idea how late his gift arrived.
