Father's Day right around the corner: last minute gifts
Blink and it’ll be Sunday, the day we celebrate the man in our lives. The one who taught us how to ride a bike when we could barely walk, who joined us at the kitchen table to help with homework and who always sat front row at every school play. You guessed right, this Sunday we celebrate our dads. And although all dads make the same silly jokes, no two dads are the same. While he may pretend he doesn’t want anything, we both know a thoughtful gift (even a last-minute one) can go a long way. That’s why we’ve rounded up some solid picks for every type of dad, just in time.
The sports dad
Whether your dad is always on his (far too expensive) racing bike, just smashed the 20 km of Brussels or secretly spends hours watching football from the couch, sporty dads come in all shapes and sizes. These gifts will help him achieve a new milestone in style.

The fashionable dad
Is your father the first person you turn to for fashion advice? If so, your dad is definitely one to cherish. Yet this makes it all the more difficult to choose a gift that is trendy enough to reach the high standards of your personal fashion police. Luckily, with a pair of bold sneakers, a stylish watch, or a practical hat, you’re already off to a good start.

The practical dad
Let's be honest, there are a lot of dads who somehow fit into this category. This dad loves practical things so much that a good sense of style often takes second place. But not anymore, because these picks combine function and fashion. Think: a handy cord or case to carry his water bottle or phone hands-free, a waterproof backpack for any adventure or even a coffee machine that whips up iced coffee in no time. Stylish and useful, just the way he likes it.

The vacation dad
Even if your father doesn't belong to this category, we can all picture it. The father who has been counting down to his holiday all year and when the moment arrives doesn't think twice before slipping on his white high socks and sturdy brown sandals. Surprise your vacation-loving dad with these holiday essentials.
