    Father’s Day gifts for the man who has everything

    It’s that time of year again, which means it’s that dilemma again – what do you buy the man who has everything and how many pairs of socks does one man actually need? So despair no more and let us help you with the more unique gifts your Dad, or father-figure in your life, will love more than socks and Toblerone.,.

    Exhibitionism tickets

    Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones at the Saatchi Gallery is a must for any music fan and with tickets from just £20 it won’t break the bank. It’s also on until September 4th, so if you can’t book a slot for Father’s Day weekend, there’s still time to visit.

    Airport champagne lounge

    For the avid traveller or the Dad who just likes to travel in style, search out his holiday details for this summer and book him into the Champagne Lounge at his departure airport. With a complimentary glass of bubbles and free snacks pre-flight, he can relax away from the hussle and bussle of duty free and muse over what a fantastic daughter he has!

    notonthehighstreet

    If you’re looking for something unique yet personal, Not On The High Street is still our favorite. We love the Gardener’s Fruit and Veg Biscuit Gift Box, the Personalised Wooden Chopping or Cheese Board and the three month subscription to BBQ Around the World. And if you really must get him socks, then the Sock Subscription is what you need.

    Get a private chef

    Not a rare thing for hen parties but why let the girls have all the fun? If you aren’t the world’s best cook but want to treat your Dad to a full stomach, you could do worse than hiring a chef to come into your house and russle up three delicious courses.

    If you’ve got a big family or he’s a popular guy, rent a cottage for the weekend and get the chef to come to you there!

    Ted’s Grooming Room

    For the Dad who values his looks, a treatment at Ted’s Grooming Room will be a nice Father’s Day treat. Get him a brow treatment, haircut or old-school cut-throat shave – then take him out for a meal afterwards so he can show off his fresh look.

    Virgin Experience Day 

    Nothing tickling your fancy yet? Check out Virgin Experience Days – from walking film tours to spa days to adventures such as Go Ape, there’s a wide selection of things you can do together, or send him off with your Mum for a joint pamper.

    Escapology rooms

    Jump on the next new trend with a trip to an Escapology Room. Yep, you read that right. Not for the faint-hearted or claustrophobic (depending on which one you do), but if your Father-figure loves to problem-solve and thinks of himself as a bit of an Indiana Jones then we’ve just found you the perfect gift for them.

    Go into a room and solve a problem, or access a series of rooms, by figuring out the answers to cryptic clues and watch him look like a kid in a sweet shop. They’ll be popping up everywhere soon, but for now check out Escapologic in Nottingham and Handmade Mysteries in London.

    Snappy Snaps

    Remember when you were a little Daddy’s Girl, when the arguments about boys and clothes hadn’t yet happened and you could barely stand let alone talk back? Remind him too by getting your old family VHS tapes turned into DVDs (at Snappy Snaps) and spend Father’s Day on the sofa watching him wearing terrible clothes with a crazy haircut and get reminiscing.
