If you’re looking for a gift to show your gratitude, appreciation, or just want to put a smile on your father’s face, we’ve collaborated with Very to put together a list of what we think are some of the best Father’s Day gifts available. Our carefully curated men’s gift guide is guaranteed to help you find that perfect present that reflects your Dad’s sense of style and interests. We know every year this day comes round and every year it gets harder to find an inspiring gift, so we’re making it much easier for you by picking a selection of Men’s Aftershave, Clothing, Tech, and Accessories which any Dad will be overjoyed to receive. Whether your Dad is a modern-day trendsetter, outdoor enthusiast, or perhaps he just enjoys the finer things in life, Very has everything you need to make Father’s Day that bit more special. Check out the list below of the top ten gifts for Father’s Day 2023: 

Montblanc Explorer (100ml) 

Inspired by the thrill of travel and discovery, this invigorating and masculine eau de parfum from Montblanc is always a popular gift for a discerning gent. Not only does the stylish bottle look smart in a bathroom cabinet, but the long-lasting woody scent combines bergamot, leather, Haitian vetiver, and Indonesian patchouli forming a fresh and aromatic fragrance. Montblanc Explorer is a men’s fragrance that can be worn everyday or saved for special occasions; either way, a couple of spritzes are guaranteed to make an impression.

Apple Airtag

Designed to help locate lost or misplaced items, the Apple AirTag is the perfect gift for the Dad who tends to be slightly absent minded! It’s also the ideal Father’s Day present for the man who loves to travel the world. We all know how frustrating it can be when an airline ‘accidently’ misplaces your suitcase - now that dreaded disappointment can be easily avoided! This sleek and compact device can be attached to keys and bags, or any other valuable possession your Dad might want to keep track of. Plus, it uses Precision Finding technology that will sync up with most Apple iPhones. The AirTag can omit a sound to help pinpoint the exact location of an item, so there’ll be no more excuses for forgetting where he left his wallet!

New Balance 574 Trainers 

Give a father the gift of both fashion and function with a pair of New Balance 574s! These are the perfect sneakers for the fashion-conscious Dad who enjoys stepping out in style, but also in comfort: the 574 style offers plenty of support and cushioning for all-day wear, whilst still maintaining the classic hybrid road and trail running shoe style. We love the muted and versatile colour combination of this particular shoe, as it’s inoffensive and will go with pretty much any outfit. If your Dad is struggling in the shoe department, now is the time to up his footwear game. If you’re a father who's reading this, you’ll probably want to start dropping a few hints for a pair of these yourself!

Barbour Matte Leather Belt 

For the father who has a penchant for classic and timeless British style, this Barbour belt will be a welcomed accessory. Renowned for their luxurious craftsmanship, Barbour uses the finest leather for their belts and are made with the intention to last season after season of wear and tear. The precision in their designs make these belts versatile accessories that can effortlessly elevate both formal and casual ensembles. Plus, the brown leather can be worn with practically any outfit, particularly denim and navy hues. It would look great with a pair of chinos in the summer too.

The North Face Rodey Backpack 

Known for their durability and functionality, The North Face backpacks are the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts, daily commuters, or everyday adventurers. The Rodey backpack has ample storage space; comfortably fitting a 15 inch laptop and with its internal organisation pockets, your Dad can keep everything he needs for work, all in one place. It’s comfortable, practical, and could even be used as hand luggage for a weekend away. The additional mesh water bottle pockets make it ideal for any Dad who loves a countryside walk. We love the simple yet sporty aesthetic which blends into any urban and rural environment. This backpack is a reliable bit of kit which might encourage your Dad to do a bit more exploring!

Paul Smith Men’s Stripe Credit Card Holder 

Help your Dad keep his everyday essentials simple, but still functional, with a leather Paul Smith Card Holder. The timeless design allows for easy organisation of bank cards, IDs and those often-forgotten business cards; all in a slim profile that should slip easily into any trouser or jacket pocket. The discrete pop of neon in the stripes add a bit of personality to this useful accessory and the high-quality leather means it should last him for years to come. This Father’s Day gift is the perfect blend of style and practicality.

BOSS Salbo Sweatshirt 

We know some Dad’s can be quite fussy about their fashion, but we think you can’t go wrong with gifting this classic BOSS Salbo Sweatshirt. Your Dad may already be set in his ways with his style, or perhaps he needs a bit of guidance with this wardrobe, but either way every man needs a versatile sweatshirt in their fashion line-up. This contemporary navy men’s sweatshirt can be worn casually, or easily layered and elevated with a crisp white shirt underneath for a smarter look. Produced in 100% double-faced cotton, it’s also extremely comfortable and will probably become a staple piece that your Dad will be wearing on multiple occasions.

Moet Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne

What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than by popping a bottle of champagne and raising a toast?! This prestigious champagne brand is synonymous with luxury celebration, making it an excellent choice to honour your father (or perhaps a future father-in-law!) on this day. Whether he’s a wine connoisseur or just enjoys the finer things in life, Moet Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne is a sophisticated sparkling wine, with refreshing citrus notes, that will undoubtedly impress as soon as it’s unwrapped and poured on Father’s Day.

Polo Ralph Lauren Dressing Gown 

Made from the softest jersey, this Polo Ralph Lauren Dressing Gown is exactly what every father will want to be wearing whilst lounging around on a Sunday morning or after a long day at work. Whether he’s enjoying a lazy morning with a cup of tea or winding down in the evening with his favourite tipple, this dressing gown will make him feel comfortable and relaxed in his own home. With its classic design and iconic Polo Ralph Lauren branding, this dressing gown exudes style and refinement.

Garmin Forerunner 45 Watch 

A Garmin Forerunner 45 will help take your Dad’s fitness goals to the next level. Any father who leads an active life, or is looking to improve his personal fitness will appreciate this fuss-free bit of tech. The Garmin Forerunner smartwatch monitors the heart rate; stress levels; tracks pace, distance and can send a location to emergency contacts. It can even be set up with a Garmin Coach to create personalised training plans. This isn’t just for gym-goers though, it will be a fantastic gift for those Dads who like to keep an eye on their step count when they go for their weekend strolls.

Montblanc Explorer, Garmin Forerunner 45 Watch, Apple Airtag, New Balance 574 Trainers, Barbour Matte Leather Belt, The North Face Rodey Backpack, and Paul Smith Men’s Stripe Credit Card Holder.
