Good Gifts for Great Men (Even at the Last Minute)
Father’s Day is this Sunday. Translation: it’s officially the moment where the well-meaning gift intentions crash into reality (and a looming cut-off for next-day delivery). But don’t panic — we’ve edited the kind of gifts that feel thoughtful, elevated, and, crucially, nothing like a last-minute scramble.
Filmed on a sailing boat off the Cornish coast (because of course), this year’s guide is a salute to every kind of father figure — dads, grandads, stepdads, father-in-laws, honorary uncles and the father of your children — with a mix of understated adventure and low-key luxury.
There’s the dry changing robe that’s essentially armour for cold-water swimmers, reluctant campers and men who refuse to use a towel like a normal person. The windproof fleece with cult Scandi credentials (he’ll call it ‘practical’; you’ll call it actually stylish). A tote built for the beach and beyond — complete with its own changing mat and enough compartments to inspire a level of organisation you didn’t think possible. Add a pair of sunglasses that will outlive most of his T-shirts, and a scent from Gucci that smells like coastal escape with a side of Italian summer.
There’s even a linen suit in the mix — for the man who still dresses for dinner, or simply wants to be the best-dressed at the beach café.
No clichés. No panic. Just very good things for very good men — who may not say what they want, but will absolutely appreciate it when you get it right.
