Gifts for Dads
Gifts for Dads and men in general can sometimes be tricky to choose. This post is here to provide you with plenty of ideas for the perfect birthday, Christmas or Father’s Day gift.
Wherever possible, I have chosen to feature more sustainable items, so these gifts would make a great choice for the eco-conscious man in your life.
I love buying from small businesses whenever I can, so I have linked to number of Etsy sellers that offer a fantastic range of unique, thoughtful and practical gifts. I have also featured gifts that you can find on Amazon.

Personalised Gifts for Men
All of the items in this first section can be personalised, turning what might be an ordinary item into a really thoughtful keepsake.
Leather Wallet
This stylish brown leather wallet from Cotswold Wears on Etsy can be personalised with Dad’s initials. They also have a number of other small leather accessories available, such as phone cases and Apple watch straps.
These would all make great gifts and they offer free shipping worldwide.
Garden Tools
For the Dads who like to garden, this pruning tool from TwentySevenUK on Etsy has lots of extra tools hidden inside of its handles. It also has the option to add your own personalised engraved message on to the wooden handles. Ships to the UK and the US.
Personalised T-Shirt
I love the subtle design of this embroidered organic cotton t-shirt by RockOnRuby on Etsy. You can the word ‘Papa’, ‘Dad’, or ‘Daddy’ etc. Along with an established date underneath. This would make a wonderful Father’s Day gift, especially for a new Dad.
Stylish Watch
A stylish watch makes a wonderful gift for a Dad. This watch is made from responsibly sourced walnut wood. This is available from TheWoodLookGifts on Etsy and you have the option to add an engraved message on the back of the watch.
Custom Portrait
I love the digitally hand painted portraits by AikaPortraits on Etsy. You provide them with a photo and they recreate it as a watercolour painting. They then send it back to you as either a digital download or print.
Gifts for Dads who like to Cook
Wooden Cutting Board
Sticking with gifts that can be personalised, this wooden cutting board is a great practical gift for Dads who enjoy cooking. You can add an engraved name and ‘speciality’ to this cutting board.
Use code ‘RACHEL10‘ for 10% off this and other items made by GiftsInaJiffy on Etsy.
Upcycled Glassware
I love these upcycled Bombay Sapphire Gin glasses made by GoGiftid on Etsy. It’s a really unique gift for Dads who are eco-conscious, as these glasses are made from recycled gin bottles.
There are also some really beautiful glasses made from recycled Jameson whiskey bottles available too. Ships to the UK and the US.
Apron
This super stylish and masculine apron can also be personalised and would make a wonderful gift for a Dad who likes to cook. These are made by TavernCreative on Etsy with the option to add his initials to the top of the apron.
Set of Spices
A set of Smokehouse grilling spices would make the perfect gift for Dads who like to get creative in the kitchen, or love to barbeque.
Whiskey Smoker Kit
If you have a Dad who enjoys a whiskey, bourbon or cocktails then this smoker kit is a fun accessory for them to try adding different smoky flavours to their drinks. It can also be used on food, to add different smoky flavours to meat for example.
Practical Gifts for Dads
Face Moisturiser
This atmosphere protection cream from Osea is an excellent face moisturiser for both men and women. Osea is one of the cleanest beauty brands currently on the market. If the man you are buying for is trying to reduce his toxic load then this is great choice.
Electric Toothbrush
Suri electric toothbrushes are one of the most sustainable toothbrush brands out there. The brush heads are made from renewable corn starch and can be recycled. The rechargeable battery also lasts for 40 days at a time.
Electric Hair Trimmer
This Philips electric all-in-one trimmer can be used to cut hair and trim beards. I bought this for my husband during lockdown when he couldn’t go to a hairdresser and he’s been using it ever since.
Retro Bluetooth Speaker
I love the retro style of this Bluetooth speaker. It’s a really affordable gift option too.
Shoes & Clothing Ideas for Men
Sherpa Lined Shirt Jacket
This cosy shirt jacket is perfect for any fans of Yellowstone.
Beanie Hat
These hats from Carhartt are renowned for their durability and are also very stylish.
Allbird Shoes
My husband and I both have a pair of these Allbird tree runners. I can honestly say that they are the comfiest shoes I have ever owned! They are also one of the most eco friendly shoe brands currently on the market.
Allbirds use all natural materials such as merino wool, sugarcane and tree fibres to make their shoes. They are also a Certified B Corp and Carbon Neutral company.
Crocs
Crocs make a great gift for men, women and children of all ages. My husband tends to just wear his in the garden, but I’ve seen plenty of people wear them out and about recently.
Lights for Crocs
These rechargeable lights fit on to the top of crocs and are great for outdoor use during the darker winter months.
Bamboo Socks
There’s nothing better than a new pair of socks and chances are the Dad in your life could probably use some. I like this set of 6 bamboo socks from NakedNation on Etsy.
Thick Socks
These socks contain merino wool, if you are looking for socks that provide some extra warmth.
I hope this post has provided you with some gift inspiration for any of the men in your life.
