Pop of colour
What more could you possibly want in a Father’s Day gift than a pair of socks combined with a groan-worthy pun?

The Breakfast Club
Make sure Dad starts the day right with this colourful collection of breakfast brews, tailor made to help kick-start your day. Assuming you will be bringing him breakfast in bed…

Scent-sational
Upgrade Dad’s bathroom cabinet with the unconventional new fragrance from Molton Brown. Described as an ‘innovative reconstruction of a classic cologne’, Vetiver & Grapefruit is a breath of fresh air. And in the run-up to Father’s Day you can take home a goody bag with every in-store purchase. Result.

Totally tropical
Does your dad fancy himself as a bit of an eco-warrior? He’ll totally dig Boss’s limited-edition new trainers made from Piñatex, a textile derived from pineapple leaves. They’re 100% vegan and even come in a biodegradable box. Sustainable never looked so chic.

About time
A shiny new timepiece is always a welcome gift. We love this modern ‘Skeleton’ watch by Swiss brand Rotary.

Top gear
If dad’s a budding Bradley Wiggins then make sure he looks the part with this jaunty, retro style zip-up cycling top from premium sportswear label Odlo.

Hip hops
For the craft beer connoisseur, this Father’s Day gift pack from Sourced Market containing a selection of Britain’s finest including Beavertown Gamma Ray, Magic Rock Rapture and Partizan Saison is perfect. Alternatively, pick him up a 1 or 2 litre 'growler', which can be filled with your choice of draught beer.
Gift pack, £22, Growler, £18, Sourced Market, Nova Food, 85 Buckingham Palace Rd, SW1W 0AJ; sourcedmarket.com/victoria
Food for thought
Take dad for a slap-up Father’s Day feast at Sticks ‘n’ Sushi and if he orders from the meat-heavy ‘man food’ menu he’ll receive a large Saporro beer on the house. Cheers!
