Father’s Day Gift Guide ** WIN **
Every year when Father’s Day comes around I am always grateful for suggestions on what to buy the Dad who a) has everything and b) wants nothing! Buying for my own Dad and my husband means that I have to come up with two. completely different gift ideas and whilst my Dad has very simple tastes and is happy with chocolate and beer, Gaz is definitely harder to please!
I’ve put together 12 suggestions for those who struggle for ideas, all of which can be ordered online and delivered to your door.
1. Cadbury Hamper
My Dad is always happy with chocolate and you can’t beat a Cadbury hamper. This gift box from Cadbury Direct contains a 200g Dairy Milk bar in a special ‘No 1 Dad’ gift sleeve alongside a new Heroes share box, Wine gums and a selection of milk and dark chocolate bars. At £20 it’s a great gift for all chocolate lovers or to enjoy together on Father’s Day. 
2. Red Original Stainless Steel Water Bottle
I love this Red Original stainless steel water bottle that keeps water cold for 24 hours or hot for 12. Made from a high quality, super insulated, marine grade stainless steel it’s perfect for staying hydrated on the go! Voted the best-insulated flask by The Independent in 2019 and 100% BPA Free, it’s a fantastic gift and even comes with. a canteen cap as well as a sports drinking cap too. RRP £24.95.
3. The mynuybueno Cookbook
Gaz loves to cook and. whilst we’ve had various cook books over the years, The mymuybueno cookbook from Justine Murphy is the perfect cook book for those wanting to cut out refined sugar. With over 160 recipes, including breakfasts, soups, curries, main dishes and plant based desserts, Justine imparts her contagious energy into the pages, giving it real heart and making it so much more than just a cookbook. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through it and trying out some of the recipes and I’m sure those who love to cook will feel the same!
4. Scratch the world map print
For Dad’s who love to travel this Scratch the world map print is the perfect gift! You simply scratch off the destinations you have visited to reveal a beautifully styled, up-to-date map underneath! Not only are countries featured on the map but there are also cities shown on the top layer with the world map underneath meaning you can keep scratching away for more detail! RRP £15.99.
5. Tog24 Craven Mens Waterproof Jacket
With the weather in the UK so hit and miss a waterproof packaway jacket is a must and I love this Cravens mens waterproof jacket from Tog24. With waterproof fabric, fully tapes seams and a waterproof coating, it’s also lined with a soft mesh on the body and smooth. taffeta in the sleeves. It all packs away into a small included pouch, comes in a choice of 7 course and, best of all, is currently on offer at £32.
6. Salcombe Ales
Although we can’t go out for a drink with our Dads for Father’s Day, we can. have beer and cider delivered to their door from Salcombe Brewery! There is something for everyone with award winning 500ml bottles of beer or Ocean cider or a four bottle presentation pack or luxury beer hamper. For those local to Devon Pickup is also available – their shop is now open 1pm-4pm Monday – Friday.
7. NOVELTEA
If you’re looking for something a little different NOVELTEA is a new and multi-award winning product made from a cold-brewed alcoholic tea blend combining two things British people love – tea and alcohol! Each of NOVELTEA’s flavours is cold brewed for 8 Horus to maximise flavour and can be enjoyed either warm or over ice. At 11%. NOVELTEA. offers a lower alcohol alternative to mainstream spirits and is available in 3 flavours – The Tale of Oolong, The Tale of Earl Grey and The Tale of Moroccan Mint. Use code fivelittledoves on the NOVELTEA site to get 15% off the range. 
8. Cranes Cider
We love the Cranes Cider Gift set containing all three of Cranes fruit ciders – Cranberries & Limes, Raspberries & Pomegranates, and Blueberries. & Apples – alongside a Cranes branded pint glass. Priced at £16.99 and delivered directly from Amazon it’s a great present for those who love cider and perfect for enjoying on those Summer nights ahead of us.
9. Whittard Hot Chocolate Set
I don’t know about you but I am a huge fan of a hot chocolate gift set, no matter what the time of year! I am a big fan of Whittard and their hot chocolate gifts are second to none! Knowing Gaz has a sweet tooth I love the Dessert-Worthy Hot Chocolate Gift Box containing Banoffee Hot Chocolate, Sticky Toffee Pudding Hot Chocolate, two soho glasses and presented in a beautiful gift box. Having tried the Banoffee hot chocolate previously I can tell you it is delicious!!
10. Reiker Sandals
Father’s Day is the perfect time to treat the man in your life to a stylish new pair of sandals ready for the Summer and Reiker has an amazing range! I’ve treated my Dad to these tan genuine leather hook and loop fastening sandals which feel amazing and look very comfortable for their Summer treks. With a whole range of products for both men and women I’m a big fan of Reiker and am always impressed with the quality of their footwear. I’d definitely recommend checking them out! 
11. Mermaid Gin
From the Isle of Wight distillery Mermaid Gin is created using ten ethically-sourced botanicals to create a smooth yet complex blend. The taste is incredible but for me the real wow factor is in the bottle, plastic free and 100%. recyclable, beautifully sculpted with scales that reflect and refract the light to mimic the mermaid tail. For those who love gin it’s a great gift idea and one I personally will be enjoying this Father’s Day! 
12. Bluebeards Revenge Beard Grooming Kit
For Dads with beards we love the Blue beards Revenge Beard Grooming Kit consisting of a pocket friendly travel beard brush that allows for maintenance on the move, and a sweet smelling, manly beard oil that leaves facial fuzz smelling and looking amazing. Priced at £23.99 it’s a great kit and one I know Gaz will really make use of given his refusal to shave his beard!!
WIN!!!
We are offering one lucky winner the chance to win a bottle of Mermaid Gin worth £37.75 simply by entering via the link below. One winner will be chosen at random and notified via email at close of giveaway on Sunday 21st June. Good luck!
