5 tips for a unique gift for Dad, and something extra

Birthdays, Christmas, name days, and even Father’s Day … These are all occasions when you can make your dad happy with a nice gift. Why isn’t this easy, and what gifts do we recommend for fathers? We’ve prepared some inspiration and tips for gifts that will really please him.

We know why choosing gifts for fathers is often tricky

Whether you’re choosing a gift as a daughter or a son it isn’t necessarily easy. Some men don’t speak much about their wishes and dreams much in front of their children, and selecting a gift for these kinds of fathers blindly can be pretty risky. Therefore, we recommend a little reconnaissance operation first.

Ask your dad throughout the year what he might enjoy, or notice and maybe even write down things he often speaks about. In some families, of course, they handle things completely differently. People simply say what they’d most like to receive for their birthday or under the Christmas tree, and that makes the process a lot easier. On the other hand, there should be at least a little element of surprise, don’t you think?

Gifts for Dad that won’t disappoint

Even if you aren’t choosing gifts for your dad far in advance, but rather at the last minute it doesn’t have to be a disaster. We offer several proven options that won’t disappoint him, and all you have to do is hear us out for a few minutes …

1. New experiences, knowledge, skills– has your dad sometimes talked about what he’d like to try, learn, or know? Has he complained that he never had time to take a certain course, or learn to do everything on the computer that he needs to be able to manage? If you know he’s longing to try something like this, just do a little searching on the internet and you’re golden. Today there are many courses that can be taken online and distance is no obstacle.

2. A good book is always a pleasure– if your family members are passionate readers it’s easy to choose a gift for your dad. Just casually ask him what he’s reading right now, or what he liked about the last book he read, and don’t forget to take a look at his bookshelves. Men often enjoy reading nonfiction so you can try either literary fiction or maybe give him a gift about a subject that he’s been interested in for a long time.

3. A voucher to one of his favorite restaurants– among our tips for dads we certainly can’t forget to mention gift certificates to restaurants he likes, or perhaps to one he’s spoken about. And the gourmet experience can also be a social one, because the time you spend with your dad can be the most valuable gift of all in these times.

4. No man should be without a quality wallet or document case. Leather products and accessories are a sure bet if you find out that Dad’s wallet or case looks like it needs to be replaced. Gifts for fathers can be both purely practical and in combination with some of his favorite personal care products or a gift basket they will certainly bring him joy.

5. A wine he likes … Is it white or red wine? You’re unsure? Go ahead and bring up the topic and maybe you’ll find out that your dad is more of a connoisseur than you thought. If you also buy a beautiful set of glasses to go with the wine you chose you’ve just managed to put together a luxurious gift for your father. Read more here about which glasses are essential for wine lovers to have at home.

What should I buy Dad for Christmas? It has to be something special

Christmas is a holiday of peace, hope, and joy. If you’re contemplating what to buy Dad for Christmas so that he won’t only be happy under the tree but also a few years later, we have a great tip for you.

In our selection of wines you can choose one that’s intended for archiving in a gift package and you’ll have a special and unique gift. Then you and your dad can think about how and where to store the vintage wine so that you can enjoy it later perhaps on a festive occasion.

Also study the information on which wines are suitable for archiving, and together you can discuss it and work out the final details together, down to the smallest details.

Don’t forget to wrap Dad’s gifts up nicely

You can wrap each gift for your dad up separately and show how you put a lot of care into it. Did you choose a wine from our list of gift ideas? We’d love to pack it up professionally for you. Wooden gift boxes for one, three, or six bottles go great with unique wines from the archive.
