Father’s Day is this Sunday. And whether you’re celebrating a dad, a grandad, a stepdad, a husband, a partner or a brother, or someone who’s just been that person for you or your kids, here’s a simple guide to making it feel thoughtful without the last-minute panic.
These are all available with quick delivery, so there’s still time!
🍻 For Him
For the one who says he “doesn’t want anything”, but really loves a proper gift.
Thoughtful, useful, properly chosen — gadgets, grooming, something for the garden, a good book, a nice aftershave. The kind of gifts that actually get used.
🧒 From the Kids, Under £25
Little gifts they can proudly say they picked themselves.
Funny mugs, silly socks, sweet treats, something handmade-feeling — all under £25 and all guaranteed to land.
🧩 For Grandads
Because Father’s Day is for them too.
Classic, comforting and the kind of thing that’ll be appreciated — puzzles, plants, a tin of something nice, a framed photo of the grandkids (always a winner).
🌳 Father’s Day Ideas
If doing something together is more your thing, how about:
- A long walk followed by a nice pub lunch
- BBQ in the garden, funny apron optional
- Coastal day trip with fish and chips on the seafront
- Go-karting, mini golf or bowling with the kids
- F1 Arcade or Topgolf if you’re near one
- Cinema trip for peace and quiet
- Cooking his favourite meal at home with the kids
- Or honestly… a quiet morning with no to-do list given
It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes just doing something together is enough.
💛 A Little Reminder
Father’s Day doesn’t have to be perfect.
It can be quiet. It can be simple. It can be homemade.
And if this weekend feels complicated, you’re not alone in that either.
However you spend Sunday is enough.
⭐️ A Holiday Giveaway To Say Thank You!!
To say a proper thank you for hitting 1 million followers, I’ve teamed up with Neilson Holidays to give one family a 7-day beach club holiday this August.
Flights. Transfers. Accommodation. Most meals. Water sports. Kids’ club.
All included. And the best bit, you choose the location: Greece, Sardinia or Croatia.
It’s live on Instagram now. Like the reel, follow me and @neilsonholidays, and tag someone who properly deserves a trip away.
I genuinely can’t wait to give this to a family, my kids love the activities. Honestly, thank you for being part of this 💛
💛 Small Business Shout Out – Fond
This week’s small business is Fond, a beautifully curated shop in Lymm, Cheshire, founded by Laura, championing UK-made gifts from small, independent makers.
Every product has been chosen because Laura genuinely loves it. Think craftspeople, artists and micro businesses, all making in small batches, all properly made.
And the timing couldn’t be better — they’ve got a dedicated Father’s Day edit live now, full of things you won’t see everywhere else. Plus, lovely treats for you too!
Here’s to the dads, the grandads, the stepdads, and all the special people who quietly hold it together. Have a lovely weekend 🤍
