It’s that time of the year again when you get to celebrate your real-life superhero. As Father’s Day 2024 approaches, it’s a wonderful opportunity to shine the light on your special bond with amazing gift ideas for Dad. So, maybe it’s time to think outside the box and go for gifts that’ll leave Dad feeling loved. And, he’ll feel truly cherished on his special day. Here are a few gift ideas for Dad according to the type of Dad you have.
For The Sentimental Dad
If your old man is all about the deep chats, he’s the type to affirm and re-affirm you endlessly then our suggestions will be a hit. He’s most likely to be the kind to appreciate his Sundays spent in one of two ways. One is a day spent in church meaning gifts of faith will come in handy. If he spends his Sundays slowly playing Jazz or classical music playing and an alcoholic refreshment like a bottle of whiskey open, a personalised glass will impress him for sure.
No matter how your Dad spends his Sunday what they have in common is that they both appreciate personalised gifts that speak to the heart. The question that stands towards this occasion is: How can I make Father’s Day special? You can make this day extra special by gifting him a gourmet hamper. Because, that way you get to spend quality time and nibble while at it. Fill it with – biltong, dried fruit and nuts, a bottle of wine, and decadent chocolates.
For The Fashionista Dad
This section of gift ideas is for the OG of fashion in the family. The dad who’s always looking dapper no matter the occasion. He’s the one who’s most likely to use the phrase “back in my days”. We’re not saying completely change his look, but you can pick some trendy pieces that scream “Dad You Are Killing It!”.
Father’s Day presents like a personalised T-shirt or a classic tie in his favourite shade or pattern. But it does not just end with clothes, if he’s always on the go then it makes sense to get accessories. Think of a personalised laptop bag and a matching personalised leather wallet.

You could also personalise these items with his name or initials for an extra special touch. If he is a tech-savvy Dad, gadgets are always a hit.
