The perfect gifts for dad this Father's Day

This year Father's Day falls on Sunday 18th June. If you are looking for inspiration on what to get him, take a look at this list of gift ideas we've compiled. Dad jokes aside, give him a gift that will be make his day and show how much you love him.

Coffee loving dads

Most dads will need a shot or two of caffeine to get them through the day. Some need a shot or two just to get out of bed! The Barista Express from Sage by Heston Blumenthal will certainly awaken his inner Barista. The brushed stainless steel finish looks fantastic and it makes the most amazing coffee. All dads like to tinker, and the Barista Express will let him dabble away to his heart's content in the quest for the perfect cup of coffee. If your dad is more Bear Grylls than Heston Blumenthal, how about a Minipresso Portable Espresso Machinefrom Wacaco? This small but perfectly formed gadget lets you dispense espresso shots from proper ground coffee (or Nespresso compatible capsules) with a few presses of the pump and some hot water. Like all the best gear it packs pleasingly away and is just the pick-me-up needed on long hikes, wild camping and journeys into the great outdoors. Also great for car journeys, commutes and in offices with bad coffee.

Look sharp

Many dads will have spent their childhood whittling aircraft from a single piece of wood. These advanced cutting skills surely deserve a knife befitting such prowess. The award-winning I.O. Shen Maoui Deba knife certainly ticks all the boxes. Razor sharp blade - tick. Designed in conjunction with a professional chef - tick. Jaw-droppingly good looks - tick. Job done. If your dad already has the knife situation under control he might need something to use it on. Adding a touch of industrial-chic to the kitchen are these wonderful mango wood Butcher's Boardsfrom KitchenCraft. Made from Mango wood these rugged boards are double sided and feature a manly metal surround.

Foodie Father's Day

The nearest most dads get to channelling their 'inner Heston' is when they get behind a barbecue (see below). But the following Father's Day gift ideas might just persuade him to put down the remote and head into the kitchen. The Smoking Gun from Sage by Heston Blumenthal is certainly something you can imagine the great man using for one of his amazing creations. It imparts wonderful smokey flavours to cheeses, meats and sauces... even cocktails. No more burning everything to a crisp to get those smokey aromas with one of these. OK, this might not be high-end dining, but the Smart Retro Pop-up Hot Dog Toaster is perfect for a quick half-time snack during the big game. Pop in a couple of dogs and buns and in less time than it takes his favourite team to finish their half-time oranges they will be ready for serving. These groovy Tablet and Phone Standsfrom T&G are made from chunky Acacia wood. Great for when you are following on-line recipes, keeping up to date on social media or just somewhere to store your phone/tablet if you are prone to losing them.

Grill skills

Barbecuing in the great outdoors is a dad's natural environment. The ancient art of cremating, sorry, cooking meat over hot coals is very demanding work and requires regular re-hydration. Always make sure he has a drink close to hand! Why not treat him to some new barbecue tools for Father's Day. Tramontina make an excellent range of barbecue tools and skewers. For example, this three piece Barbecue Set with wooden handles includes tongs, 8" carving knife and matching carving fork. This Tramontina Skewer Support is a great addition to the barbecue. Raising the kebab off the grill means it won't stick and fall off the skewer when turning. The skewers (which are sold separately) are flat in shape which again help prevent the kebab from spinning around when being turned. You might also want to check out their fantastic range of steak, carving and meat knives.

Raise a glass to dad

If your dad is a lover of a 'wee dram' why not treat him to a glass or decanter from LSA's Whisky Collection? Each glass has been expertly mouth-blown and features a heavily weighted base. Most also come with a walnut coaster. The beautiful decanters with hand-ground stoppers sit snugly on a stylish walnut base.
