It’s Father’s Day on Sunday 15th June and while all dads are different, we think we might just have most of the main ‘breeds’ of dad covered so far as gifts go! Check out some of our ideas?
Father’s Day is all about celebrating the father figures in our lives – the ones who’ve guided us, supported us, made us laugh, and maybe even taught us how to change a tire or grill the perfect burger. Whether it’s your dad, stepdad, grandad, older brother, mentor, or someone who’s simply been like a dad to you, this day is a chance to say thanks.
The idea of Father’s Day has been around for over a century. It got its start in the U.S. thanks to a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honour her dad – a single father who raised six children. The first official Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910, and it eventually became a recognised holiday in many countries, usually landing on the third Sunday in June.
Once you’ve chosen your card from the Cook & Gift Shop what are you going to wrap up for that special dad in your life?
The BBQ Dad
For men who are masters of outdoor cuisine (or wish they were), we’ve got an unrivalled selection of BBQ essentials. If your budget won’t quite stretch to the latest grill, you can always pick them up a shiny new accessory, gadget or one of a selection of very delicious seasonings that you can’t buy in the shops. Up in the Cook & Gift shop, we’ve got some really fun aprons too – and a few other cute little gift ideas.
The Sartorial Dad
We’ve just taken delivery of some new casual shirts and t-shirts at Country Threads that he might like? Choose from a cheeky slogan T or go for one of our classic button up shirts in a variety of fabrics, from classic country check to pastel stripes.
