5 thoughtful Father’s Day gift ideas for the Dad in your life

The last year has changed all of us in various ways.  Many people have taken up different interests and hobbies that they may not have tried ordinarily.  If you’re looking for some thoughtful Father’s Day gift ideas for the father or father figure in your life, why not give something that helps Dad continue with these hobbies and interests long term? Maybe one of these suggestions would be the perfect option for you.

Gift ideas for the cyclist

A whopping 1.3 million Brits bought a bike during lockdown and cycling has increased 200% since. If your Dad has become stoked by the spokes but not by the slopes in your local terrain, why not consider an upgrade to an e-bike this Father’s Day?

Gift ideas for the baker

Kneading dough or mixing batter can be tremendously therapeutic and there’s little that can compare to the taste of freshly made baked goods.  If your Dad discovered a passion for all things baked, why not extend his repertoire with a recipe book from London’s renowned Hummingbird Bakery. 

Gift ideas for the music lover

Music became the escape route of choice for some people. If your Dad’s interest in music has broadened during lockdown, why not help him diversify his musical interests even further with a subscription to Spotify.

Gift ideas for the linguist

For some people, the opportunity to take time to learn a new language was the perfect way to spend time during lockdown.  There’s nothing like immersing yourself in a language to improve those skills, so if your Dad was learning a language, why not spend time with him watching a TV series in that language (with subtitles).  For those learning German “Deutschland ’83” on Channel 4’s Walter Presents and the subsequent series’ may be a good choice. Or “Call My Agent” on Netflix may appeal to those learning French.

Father’s Day gift ideas for the pet parent

If your Dad was one of the 3.2 million in the UK to acquire a pet during lockdown, then looking at effective ways to travel with the new dog would be a good gift option.  Travall offers an extensive range of dog guards and other car accessories for a wide variety of makes and models.  Why not see if there is something suitable for your Dad’s car?
