Best personalised gift for Father's Day

Whether Dad is into sports and history or has a passion for music, surprise him with a bespoke newspaper compilation that will whisk him off down memory lane. This unique gift can be personalised with a message inside and embossed on the cover. You can also opt for it to arrive in a beautiful gift box. We love the quality of this book, which will be sure to take pride of place on the coffee table. It's a great conversation starter, allowing you to listen to your dad's reminiscences as he recalls these historic moments.

Best for biscuit-loving Dads

Dad's Big BreakfastCredit: Biscuiteers

What could be better than a fry-up on Father's Day? A fry-up made of biscuits, of course! A different kind of breakfast in bed, it still has all the best bits, including bacon, eggs, sausages, beans and a cup of tea on the side, in tasty biscuit form, presented in a lovely keepsake tin. We are huge fans of Biscuiteers; the hand-iced biscuits are undeniably unique and taste exquisite. We also love that the box can be reused for all of your Dad's useful bits and bobs.

This luxurious silk sleep mask adds a touch of indulgence to your Dad's sleep routine. Sleep masks are perfect gifts for shift workers, new parents, and dads who struggle to get a good night's rest. Drowsy sleep masks come in a selection of colours and are well-padded, which helps soothe sleepy eyes. We love that this mask comes in a gift box that makes it easy to wrap for Father's Day.

As the summer months draw near, a hat is essential, and we cannot get enough of this Daddy Quiet Cool cap from Not Another Bill. We think that Dads will look fabulous in this vintage-style cord cap, and if the writing isn't tickling your fancy, you can personalise it with whatever phrase you think best fits your Dad's style.
