Father’s Day thoughtful gift guide
It's Father’s Day on Sunday 18th June, and we know that sometimes dads can be a little tricky to shop for. Here are a few fun ideas to help you come up with a unique and thoughtful Father's Day gift.
Encourage his ventures
Whether he's a DIY pro, or a bit more 'all the gear and no idea', he'll be a sucker for some traditional and classic tools to help him. Our Spirit of Adventure collection is packed full of quirky and retro and gadgets and gifts.
Spirit of Adventure folding wooden ruler, £4.95
One pen, six handy tools! Multi-task on the go with this unique pen, which includes a spirit level, a ruler, a flat head screwdriver, a cross head screwdriver, a replaceable cartridge pen and a touch screen stylus pen.
Multi-task tool pen, £8.95
Delight a music-mad dad
If your dad loves his classic tracks, then treat him to a favourite record on vinyl. If he’s lucky enough to have a vinyl player then make sure you package up the gift with some unique microfibre cloths (below) to keep the songs scratch-free.
'Another one bites the dust' glasses cleaning cloth, £3.95
If Dad fancies learning a new skill, but you don't quite have the space for a drum kit, or patient enough neighbours for a tuba, then look no further than a harmonica! This diatonic harmonica in the key of C is great for beginners who want to get bluesy!
Harmonica, £9.95
Brighten up his home space
A wall chart is a great way to add some personality to your dad’s home or work space. Jan Konopka, one of our in-house designers (and a dad himself!) here at Rex London, loves the Space Age wall chart - “My favourite product so far is the Space Age wall chart. It looks great as an interior design piece for any room”.
Space Age wall chart, £16.95

Pamper your Pa
Put together a pamper package in a stylish wash bag. You could include some special grooming treats, such as a fancy beard oil, a selection of travel aftershaves, or a manicure set.

Spoil him with something sentimental
Print out a picture or two of a treasured memory from your childhood (or even his, if you can find something!) and frame it for a special and thoughtful gesture this Father’s Day.
Landscape hanging frames, from £12.95
Let him put his feet up
Encourage dad to put his feet up and relax with a good book. Whether he likes thrillers or autobiographies, wrap up a book or two and add some quirky bookmarks so he won’t lose his place.
Magnetic dog bookmarks, £2.95
