Let's all admit it… dads are SO hard to buy for. 

They never really ask for anything, and usually end up with 47 ties and vests whenever a gifting opportunity arises.

However, Father's Day is on the horizon, and we want to make sure all the fab dads out there get something bloody good. 

Here's a list of what we think your dad will love. 

You can thank us later… 

1. Bedside organiser.

Practical, and pretty darn cool. I guarantee your father will love this watch and cufflink stand. 

2. This amazing laptop case.

How cool is this laptop case? It has a map of the world embossed on it… because you are his world, obviously. 

3. Gorge PJs.

Is there anything better than a lovely set of pyjamas? No. These handsome Ralph Lauren ones are the perfect gift for your dad. 

4. Pamper him.

One thing dads never seem to do is buy themselves fancy skincare – so we should for them. L'Homme Cologne Cedrat After Shave Gel Cream is the business, just sayin'.

5. Personalised Beer Mats. 

You know what he'd really cherish forever? Gorge pics of his favourite child on a beer mat. Or, if he's not a beer drinking kind of fella, you could get him a personalised mug, a bags or even a lovely pillow with your face on it. Gorge priceless gifts from Fujifilm Imagine. You can thank us later.

6. This personalised weekend bag.

Who doesn't love some fabulous luggage that has your monogram on it? What a special gift for your dad.

7. Happy socks = happy dad. 

Socks are the kind of gift that NEVER fail. 

8. Eye balm – to ease his wrinkles. 

So he may not care to admit it – but he's not getting any younger. Gift him some nice skincare products from Clarins, and help him with those pesky lines. 

9. A 6 pack.

Listen, if all else fails – get him a few bottles of Heineken. You just can't go wrong hun.

10. The Tool Book.

The ​Tool Book pays ​homage ​to ​generations ​of ​craftsmanship, ​ingenuity, ​and ​know-how, exploring why ​each ​tool ​is ​the ​right ​tool ​for ​the ​job, ​and ​why ​it deserves ​pride ​of ​place ​in ​your ​tool ​shed, ​workshop, ​or ​studio.

11. You can't go wrong with a watch

The most classic of all gifts – we're a fan of The Avenger from Rotary Watches.

12. The perfect gift for the father-to-be.

'No sex, No Sleep'

A witty book about all the realities of parenthood – he'll love it, I promise.
