Father’s Day Cards & Gift Ideas

Father’s Day Cards & Gift Ideas

It’s Father’s Day on the 18th June, so time to get planning for that special present. It can be hard to decide on the right present for your awesome dad, so here are a few ideas to get you going based on our super scientific selection of ‘Dad Types’. The Card Zoo also stocks a range of personalised cards to put a smile on his face.

No Frills Dad

‘No Frills Dad’ doesn’t like a big fuss making. He pretends he doesn’t want anything, but probably he does appreciate a little something. If you reckon your dad is this type of dad, it’s best to keep things simple. He will appreciate a practical present that expresses the sentiment without too much fuss. Think about a ‘Best Dad’ keyring, a ‘The Most Awesome Dad in the World’ mug, a set of socks, or just a four pack of his favourite beer, with a personalised card.

Suave Papa

If your dad is fond of looking sharp and cool, he may be a ‘Suave Papa’. He likes going out on the town in his finest threads and is as comfortable shopping as he is watching the footie. He pays attention to his appearance and isn’t afraid of hogging the bathroom. This type of dad will appreciate a present which reflects his attention to personal detail. We suggest a smart tie, a set of nice cufflinks or a fancy shaving kit.

Thoughtful Daddy

‘Thoughtful Daddy’ is the doting type. He always has time for his kids and he is patient, kind and loving. If you reckon your dad is this type of dad, then a thoughtful personal present will go down a treat. If you’re helping young children with a Father’s Day gift, he will definitely appreciate something handmade by the little’uns. Think of painty handprints or footprints and a hand written message. For older kids, a nice framed picture of dad with his kids will go down a storm. Or think of something personalised but practical, like a mobile phone cover or a pasta maker.

Man About the House

If your dad is a ‘Man About the House’ dad, he will appreciate something practical he can make or do. If he’s into DIY, a nice tool set might be a good choice. If he likes his electronics, think about a fancy new gadget or a videogame. If he’s practical and likes his tipple, maybe a beer brewing kit is the answer.

Silly Dad

If your dad likes nothing more than having a giggle with banter or practical jokes, he may be a ‘Silly Dad’. He doesn’t take himself or life too seriously, he just wants a laugh with his kids. If so, we reckon you should get him something that will make him chuckle. A funny or insulting fridge magnet, a wacky tie or pack of socks. Or perhaps a good old-fashioned joke shop object so he can play tricks on his mates down the pub.

We hope you enjoyed our ideas for Father’s Day gifts. Don’t forget, here at The Card Zoo we have a great selection of personalised cards to make him smile, no matter what type of dad he is.
