You may be hunting for a gift for your Grandpa or a present for your partner, as well as a special something for your Dad. There are loads of unique gifts for Dads out there, but it can be hard to know where to start.

Think about what your Dad really enjoys and focus on his character, rather than looking for quick and easy presents. Does he like gardening, reading, or sports? Is he obsessed with tech gadgets, or would he be happiest with wine and cheese?

Whether you're looking for a single stand-out present or a Father's Day gift hamper filled with their favourite treats, there'll hopefully be a gift or two that would suit him in our guide.
