What are the best gifts for dads, really? Whisky? Fine leather goods? (Both excellent, in our book.) We think you’ll agree we can rule out novelty socks and ‘world’s best dad’ coffee mugs. But as with most things, it’s far easier to pinpoint what we don’t want rather than what we do, and sorting through the wealth of tacky Father's Day gifts to find something meaningful to give on the big day can be tricky. (It's on Sunday 21st June, by the way.)

Which is why we’ve done the hard work for you and put together a list of the best Father’s Day gifts to shop in 2026.

Fortnum & Mason Father's Day Foodhall Favourites

We'd argue this is a pretty fast and loose use of the word 'essentials' here, but we'll let it slide. Because what do dads really want? Beer, meat and cheese — and ideally top qual versions that include lashings of pastry.

This fancy Fortnum's bag comes loaded with just that, boasting a delicious pork pie, four hefty scotch eggs, an intensely good waxed cheddar, tangy piccalilli and two 44cl cans beer — one an English Ale, one an IPA. A savoury feast for the foodie dads and a guaranteed good time.
