Father’s Day is just around the corner, on Sunday 21st June. This year will be a strange Father’s Day for many, as lots of us won’t be able to celebrate in the usual way. For us, that’s going out for lunch with our extended family, which is probably the best gift we can give my dad. So this year we need to think outside the box for ways to show our dads, stepdads, adopted dads, and granddads how much we love them. I’ve got a few meaningful Father’s Day gifts that you can order online to get you started. Some of them have been gifted for inclusion in this guide and some, I’ve bought myself. Read on for meaningful Father’s Day gift inspiration.
Meaningful Father’s Day Gift Experiences
I think most most dads want to spend quality time with their kids, so the opportunity to do this is a great meaningful Father’s Day gift. During lockdown, we may have been spending a lot more time than usual together, but for us, and I’m sure many other people, it hasn’t exactly been fun a lot of the time, as we juggle work and home school. So planning a mini break or day out makes the perfect Father’s Day gift idea, giving dads something to look forward to when lockdown is over.
Plan a Family Visit to London (after Lockdown)
Last year I collaborated with buyagift by reviewing a night at a family room in a London hotel and a family entry to the Tower of London for Father’s Day. We all had such a lovely time and made many happy memories. The girls presented dad with these vouchers on Father’s Day, and booked a weekend in the summer to use them. You can buy this gift here.
It was so lovely to have something look forward to, and it didn’t take up loads of space in our house!
You can read my full review of how we spent our family weekend in London here. We did so much and ate some delicious food too.
Plan a Baking Class!
Talking of gift experiences for dads, you might like to look at our day learning to make bread. It would also make a great Father’s Day gift.
Help Dad Adopt a Spitfire
My dad loved this next Father’s Day gift idea, from Prezzybox that I gave him last year. It’s a gift to adopt a spitfire, which you can buy here.
My dad is an aeronautical engineer did his best to pass this obsession on to us. Those looooong visits to aircraft factories during our childhood certainly were memorable! This is a way we can support his love of aircraft, without actually having to go ourselves 😉
A Food or Drink Making Kit is a Meaningful Father’s Day Gift
Giving dad a gift that he can turn into a hobby is another meaningful Father’s Day gift idea. How about giving dad a chance to brew his own beer, distil his own gin, or even make cheese? These are also things the kids could potentially help with too.
This year I’ve bought my husband a Gin Making Kit from Ethical Superstore, which you can buy here. This kit has everything you need to distill your own gin, just add vodka. The bonus is that as a gin lover myself, I get to benefit too 😉
Ethical Superstore has several gin making kits, so you can pick the best one for the dads in your life.
I just need to add a botle of vodka, and then this kit has everything else you he’ll need for two 750ml bottles of homemade gin. The Expert kit contains:
- 750ml Italian glass bottle with stopper
- Bottle label
- Filter papers
- Funnel
- 2 x Sachets of botanical blends — juniper berries, cardamom, bay leaf, allspice berries, lemon, coriander, pink peppercorns and black peppercorn
- 2 x Test tubes — rose and juniper
- 2 x Sachets of botanical gin toppers — hibiscus and star anise
BUY HERE
Ethical Superstore also sell a cheese making kit here, which would also be a fab Father’s Day gift.
A Beer Subscription Kit for Beer-Loving Dads
Subscription boxes make such great gifts, and Father’s Day is no exception! Why not check out the Flavourly Craft Beer Discover Club? It sends you eight beers, and exclusive magazine and a snack, all delivered for only £19.90, worth over £30. If you click through here, you’ll get £5 off your first beer discovery box. Ryan also gets £5 off his next month.
One of the things that really appeals to us is that it supports small independent breweries from all over the world, rather than the mainstream multinational companies. It’s also the gift that keeps on giving, as he’ll get more delivered every month. Ryan enjoys it so much more than the big named beer, as he loves trying new flavours. Plus, it’s cheaper than buying craft beers from a supermarket, and way more fun.
Eco-Friendly Grooming Goodies Make Great Gift for Dad
I’ve reviewed lots of eco-friendly beauty products from Green People in the past. They are one of my favourite beauty brands. They also have a great selection of organic grooming products for men, and you can find the whole selection here.
Green People have sent my husband a selection of organic grooming goodies to try out for Father’s Day.
This energising shower gel contains peppermint, eucalyptus, pineapple and yucca and is a great time-saving present as it’s a hair wash as well as a shower gel. It cleanses without stripping so it’s great for dry skin.
If the dads in your life are growing a lockdown beard, this organic beard oil would be a great Father’s Day gift. It contains safflower to help strengthen hair follicles, buriti oil to add shine and black cumin to promote healthy beard growth.
This cooling moisturiser contains green tea, aloe vera and peppermint, which combine to hydrate, soothe and cool skin after shaving or sports, whilst black willow bark guards against breakouts. It also smells lovely.
I love the smell of this antioxidant repair serum. It’s suitable for caring for skin on his face and neck, and around his eyes. It has clinically proven actives and antioxidants and contains baicalin to rejuvenate skin cells, plus olive leaf, tara bush and seaweed.
Each of these organic men’s skincare products have great reviews and they all smell fantastic. They are all certified organic, made without harsh ingredients common in mainstream products, and are suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
Family Photos Make Meaningful Father’s Day Gifts
One thing I planned to do is get our family photos from our amazing holiday to Florida last year printed. This would be such a great Father’s Day present, but sadly I haven’t had time to sort through them as there are thousands. In previous years Ive been more organised and had these cute mini photobooks from Social Print Studio printed. There are plenty of online printing places to get your photos printed beautifully.
I’ve got a family photo printed from our wonderful session with photographer Vicki Hull. You can see more of her session with us on this post. This was a couple of years ago but Vicki is now taking bookings for socially distanced doorstep shoots around Stewkley, Buckinghamshire. She’s also booking garden shoots and you can find the details here.
How about booking a socially-distanced doorstep photography session with a photographer local to you?
Low Budget Father’s Day Gifts
Prezzybox have a great selection of Father’s Day gifts, including loads that grandads will love too. How about these funny socks for £12.99? They are perfect for grandpas that snooze and you can get them personalised. We got them for my dad last year and he still wears them.
