The only issue? Coming up with a great idea for a gift. Of course, there’s a huge difference between what one man’s idea of the perfect father’s day gift is and another – they may be a sports lover, a foodie, an avid reader, an adventurer, a gardener – or a mixture of all of the above – making the selection of a perfect present deeply personal. Fret not.

We wanted to ensure the gifts would bring a smile to the face of the recipient – even if he’s notably particular about his interests.
