5 tips for a fun and unique Father's Day gift 

Maybe your dad has always been there for you, as your personal taxi driver, handyman around the house, listening ear, or source of wise advice. But how often do we really say thank you for all that he’s done or means to you? Father’s Day is the perfect moment to do just that. And what better way to show your appreciation than by surprising him with an original gift that says: you mean the world to me.

A material gift is nice, but spending quality time together lasts so much longer. Whether it’s a sporting event, a weekend getaway or a special dinner, it’s about creating new memories. Shared experiences strengthen your bond and give you stories to tell for years to come. Let’s be honest: no aftershave can beat that.

Looking for inspiration for an original gift you can enjoy together? Here are 5 ideas for unforgettable Father’s Day experiences:

1. Cheer on your favourite football team together
Is your dad a big football fan? Why not treat him to a match day experience at his favourite club, either at home or abroad. How about a weekend in London to see a Premier League match, or heading to Barcelona for a game at Camp Nou? Pair it with a comfortable overnight stay and you’ve got the perfect father-son (or father-daughter) trip.

2. Feel the adrenaline at a Formula 1 weekend
If your dad loves speed and excitement, take him to a Formula 1 Grand Prix! Whether it’s the iconic Spa-Francorchamps race or even Monaco, make it a full weekend getaway with an overnight stay. You’ll soak up the thrilling atmosphere together, on and off the track.

3. Lace up your boots for an adventurous hike
For dads who love nature and the outdoors, a hiking trip is the perfect gift. Why not plan a multi-day walk through the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands? Stay in charming hotels or cosy lodges along the way and enjoy both the beauty of nature and quality time together.

4. Immerse yourselves in art and culture on a city break
Is your dad a fan of art, history or culture? Plan a cultural weekend getaway! Explore London’s museums like the British Museum or Tate Modern, or head to Berlin and discover the many museums on Museum Island. Add a comfortable hotel stay and great meals to complete the experience.

5. Discover a new city on a relaxing city break
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones. A city break to a fun new destination is always a great choice. Think of cities like Bath, Edinburgh or Paris. Wander the streets together, enjoy great food and stay in a cosy hotel. It’s an easy way to create lasting memories.
