Father’s Day Gift Guide: 8 Cool Ideas

amomentwithfranca · 1 June 2017 · 12 Comments

Father’s Day is soon approaching and I am sure that you are, like me, searching ideas of what to get your own dad or a present(s) from your kids to their lovely daddies! So I have been doing some research and have found 8 cool gift ideas that might be helpful for you.

I tried to find some cool ideas that are perhaps not necessarily typical ones but I thought it would be good idea to give a bit of variety to our gift list to suit all tastes and budgets!

My 8 Father’s Day gift ideas:

1. Braun Series 3 ProSkin Electric Shaver (£139.99)

We received a Series 3 ProSkin shaver because we were part of Braun’s #SensitiveDads campaign. Nick has tried it at home and he is very happy with this shaver. He has sensitive skin so it is perfect for him. It can be used wet or dry which is always very practical. Not only does it do a good job but it also looks great!

The new Braun S3 ProSkin has advanced MicroComb technology which guides beard hairs into the cutting element of the trimmer reducing overall shaving time and thus skin irritation. To offer a comfortable shave three independently floating cutting elements and two SensoFoils adapts to every facial contour to offer a comfortable shave.

2.  Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation), Black (£49.99)

Amazon Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device with a small built-in speaker—it can also connect to your speakers or headphones over Bluetooth or through a 3.5 mm audio cable to deliver stereo sound to the speakers you choose. Echo Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather and more. Prime members can also ask Alexa to order eligible products they’ve ordered before and many Prime products. All you have to do is ask.

We got this device a few months ago and we absolutely love it! Actually it was Nick who got it for the house and it has been so useful. Even Bella knows how to use it now. We ask Alexa for music, what the weather will be like today, about news or even to sing nursery rhymes for Sienna. It is fab! And I’m sure it would be a great father’s day gift.

3. Chillsner – Beer Chiller (£14.99)


This the coolest present ever! I think any dad would love it! It is an in-bottle, drink-through beer chiller: Chillsner by Corkcicle. Just freeze, insert into any standard size bottled beer (9″) and never suffer through another warm brew. Respect the beer. Chillsner is perfect for parties, tailgating and pretty much any occasion where beloved beers are enjoyed.  What do you think of this?

4. Samsung Gear Gen 2 Virtual Reality (£49.36)

This will be a great gift for tech-loving dads like my hubby. Although it is for owners of Samsung Galaxy phones only. Dads can experience a wider field of view and smoother images with this cool gadget. It has an incredibly low light leakage and also reflection prevention. I’m sure dads will have hours of fun using this device to play exciting games.

5. GoPro HERO5 Action Camera – Black (£350.85)

This is a present that I would like for myself too, LOL! We have been talking about this camera for a few months now and we really want to get one. I think this is definitely a fantastic present for adventurous dad that love filming their cool outings. This is perfect for travel bloggers like us.

The HERO5 is durable, waterproof to 10m and can capture photos in burst mode, so as I sad it is the perfect gadget for active and adventurous dads.

6. Case of 12 Best of British Beers (£38.75)

Of course, beer is a fantastic present for daddies. Nick loves beer and I’m sure he would love to receive a case of 12 best of British Beers to enjoy. You can find this gift at Not On The High Street. It is a selection of 12 micro brewery ales, complete with tasting notes and a pub quiz.

This is definitely an ideal gift for all lovers of British beer. They work with small independent breweries and they sell hard-to-find ales that you wouldn’t normally come across, so it would make for a special gift for our lovely dads.

7. Bright Side Man Tin (£7.20)

I’m not sure if you have the same problem at home with your dads but my hubby tends to leave all his stuff everywhere so I thought this cool tin would be perfect for any dad that needs to keep his stuff organised and tidy. This is a lovely present that can be a great present from the kids. I am sure Bella or Sienna would love to give this to daddy.

8. ‘My Dad’ Personalised Book for Fathers (£20)

This personalised book is made by From Lucy and you can get from the Not On The High Street website. It is a fantastic, colourful, funny book exploring the role of ‘The Dad’. It is packed with personalisation, jokes and even facts about the year dad was born.

This book explores dad’s life before children and how much better it is now he is a Dad! The book is full of personalisation as it starts with the front cover that features the children’s name. The story finishes with a list of Dad’s expert skills, which include comedy, waste and disposal management, opening things and most importantly: “Being a wonderful Dad to us!”.

This is another lovely option for the kids to give to their dads on that special day! Bella and Sienna would love to give something like this to their daddy.

What do you think of this father’s day gift list? Is there something that caught your eye? Do you have more ideas to suggest? 

*Disclosure: I’m working in a paid relationship with Britmums and Braun and their #SensitiveDads campaign. However, all the gift ideas mentioned in this post are products we used and love or products we would love to have. Contains some affiliate links. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I had the go pro hero 5 for Christmas it’s great because it’s so portable, one touch button to start recording and it has playback with sound on the back screen. I’ve used it loads and filmed things I wouldn’t really have thought to film otherwise. Lovely gift guide, I especially like the man stuff tin. I have just published my first gift guide for Father’s day too!:-)

    Steve has been using the Braun Shaver mentioned and LOVES it! As we already have one of those, the Amazon Echo would be next on my list – I’m kind of torn between this and google home?

    What a great selection of gifts. I love the Braun razor, the Amazon Dot and the beer chiller. We have a GoPro 4 and they’re excellent. I think all dads need a man tin don’t they!
