Dads and Christmas don’t always go hand-in-hand. He might burn the turkey. He might fall asleep during the madness and drama of EastEnders. He might moan and groan about the over-indulgence of it all. Or, he might go all out and leave those carrots for Rudolf in front of the fire, no matter how old you are. Regardless of his feelings about it, you want to spoil him (a little or a lot, it’s up to you) and we are here to help you do just that. Whilst the end goal is to brighten his Christmas Day with more than festive lights, you might not know how to get there or even where to start. You might look at your long list of Christmas gifts you need to buy and freeze in alarm or shrug your shoulders and press for the next episode of your current watch on Netflix. Whatever your thoughts on finding something for your dad this Christmas, we hope that we can alleviate some of that present panic with our handy gift refiners, giftspiration and tips.
You know who you’re buying for
Dad, daddy, father, stepdad. Whatever you call him and whether he’s blood-related to you or not, any kind of father figure you look up to and love should be treated to a Christmas gift he’ll adore. From personalised keepsakes that he can cherish to novelty gifts that will make him chuckle, there’s plenty of choice whether it’s his first Christmas as a new dad or he’s an old hand at Christmas with kids!
You know exactly what you’re looking for
You’ve had this festive plan bubbling away in your head for weeks – maybe even since last Christmas – and now that you’ve been paid (and it’s an acceptable time to finally start the Christmas shopping), you don’t want to delay finding that perfect gift any longer. Head straight to the search bar at the top of the page where you’ll be directed to one of three options: what you’re after, something similar or nothing at all. There is a chance we don’t have what you’re looking for (fragrance, footie tickets, clothing from his favourite high street store, anything designer etc.), but what we do have are thousands of gifts that will make him smile like chocolate and sweets, personalised watches, and gift experiences to make memories with.
You know the occasion, but not the gift
In case you didn’t catch on already, we’re talking about Christmas. The thing about Christmas is you can pretty much buy any kind of gift and call it a Christmas present. It doesn’t have to directly link to the festive season, although we do have a range of decorations and advent calendars to fill your dad with Christmas spirit and cheer! With gifts like gadgets, games and personalised books, there’s plenty to choose from!
You know what they will love but need a nudge in the right direction
Regardless of however much you have in common, ask yourself what your dad loves (apart from the apple of his eye aka you, obviously) to do, eat, drink. Is he a football crazy, football mad fan? We might not have the footie tickets, but we have stadium tours of some of the top teams in the UK. Is he always losing his slippers or has a range of quirky, fun socks that needs a little update? We have an entire page of funky socks and slippers to brighten his Christmas! Does he love his strong cuppa in the morning and would love a new mug to help kickstart the day? There are all kinds of mugs here. What you need to think about most when you’re searching for a Christmas prezzie your dad will love is: how is he going to feel when he opens your gift? What experience will he get? How does the gift connect to your unique relationship? Will he smile, laugh, or have fun with it? Answer those questions whilst finding his gift and you’ll be onto a winner.
You need something ASAP, whatever the gift
Whether you planned to do everything last-minute this year or you forgot your dear old dad, we’ve got you covered. Head to our page of Next Day gifts where everything you see on there can be delivered to your doorstep in less than 48 hours. Need something even quicker? As in today. Well, you’re cutting it fine, but our gift experiences have the option of an eVoucher than can be sent straight to your inbox within thirty minutes! Done and dusted and pops won’t know he almost didn’t have a Christmas prezzie!
