Father's day gifts your dad didn't even know he wanted

17 May 2021

On the 13th of June it's time to pay homage to the most important man in your life whether that be your dad, bonus dad, father-in-law or grandfather. They might be the hardest people to shop for, but with some good inspiration, you can treat them to the most thoughtful gift they've ever received. And how much they like to deny it, they love being pampered on their special day.

The dad that doesn't need anything

If your dad is in desperate need of some new clothes, although he always insists on having enough things to wear, this is your time! Treat him to a new fashionable piece, you get to pick out for him. Perhaps a nice shirt to wear to work, or maybe a casual t-shirt to enjoy a drink in, on the recently-opened terraces! Or a sweater by Lee Cooper hinting at the iconic couple Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, for those cool dads out there?

The dad that is big on accessories

Surprise your dad with something small that can really finish off his look. Whether that be a cool backpack to use on a hike with you, a pair of sunglasses to brave the sun or a playful watch to check the time you get home. Accessories are key!

If it can be a little bit more, Lore Van Keer's ODE+ collection is exactly what you're looking for. It honors loved ones in a subtle, hand-crafted and deeply personal way. All rings and bracelets in this collection are made to be engraved with names, numbers or letters, only visible to the person who wears them. Lore Van Keer also launched a collection of cufflinks in collaboration with Café Costume. Or perhaps some cufflinks by Diamanti Per Tutti's René Magritte collection can make your dad's heart beat faster.

The dad that enjoys cooking

Is your dad the foodie of the family? Then some cool kitchen gadgets will most likely be a success. Or is your dad a huge coffee addict/self-proclaimed barista? Then the Oracle Touch from Sage will make him enjoy his coffee even more.

For the BBQ enthusiasts, an apron will be hitting the nail on the head. These JBC ones can be personalized with your dad's name on them or your own. That way you can match while spending (BB)Q-time together. Or perhaps the apron with matching sneakers by the cool Floris van Bommel x Big Green Egg collection is just your dad's taste.
