Ahead of the big day, SPORTbible chatted to Jess Henderson, gifting expert at Bloom & Wild, for the lowdown on nailing the perfect Father's Day present.
How much should I spend on a Father’s Day gift?
"There is no magic number when it comes to price; our research shows that over half of us prioritise sentiment over the price tag.
"A thoughtful gesture or even just sending him his favourite sweet treat always means more than an expensive luxury just for the sake of it.”
What is a good last-minute Father’s Day gift?
"Honestly, the trick is all in the delivery. Of course, the perfect scenario is that you can give your gift to dad in person - but if that's not an option, then the next best thing is something beautifully packaged with a heartfelt note from you. He never needs to know that you were pinched for time.
"In terms of what to choose, I'd recommend something that feels like a genuine treat rather than the usual practical or novelty gifts that can quickly be forgotten."
What do you buy a dad who has everything?
"Dads and father figures are universally hard to buy for. There is no 'default' gift option like there is for Mother's Day with flowers, so it heightens the pressure.
"It is so easy to get stuck in an endless 'scroll hole' and settle for something underwhelming. And, for many of us, this is the one moment in the year we try to take the time to really say thank you for everything our dads have done for us, so we want to get it right.
"If your dad already has all the things he could want, shift your focus away from stuff and toward upgrading his daily rituals. By doing this, you are gifting a quality moment of relaxation, which is the one thing he probably never buys for himself."
