Gifts For Dad Who Wants Nothing!
Isn’t this one of the biggest first world problems we can have in the UK…we love our dad and want to buy him the world, but every year Father’s Day comes around and we’re stuck with the same predicament. What on earth can I get for a good Father’s Day gift seeing my dad has it all!
Well, fear not, this guide isn’t just for the dad's that have it all, but it’s also for the dad's that didn’t realise experience days were so much fun and so unique!
Unique Father’s Day Gifts
Here, we will help you out with not just a gift guide but a memory making guide that your dad will treasure forever. As who really wants another pair of socks when you can have the gift of flight for example!
One of my absolute favourites is the tank experience. There aren’t many dads who are opening something as great as this on Father’s Day as it has it all; loudness, muddiness and ridiculously fun!
You’re not just sitting in the passenger seat ticking a box, your old man will actually get behind the controls of a real military tank or armoured vehicle.
Once moving, he’ll tackle rough terrain designed to show what the vehicle can really do with steep climbs, deep dips, mud tracks and tight turns.
The reason this always lands in the “most unusual” category is because it takes an everyday activity - driving - and changes it into something completely unexpected.
This experience always hits the mark for gifts for dad who wants nothing as it’s very different from normal track driving days, it’s great for history lovers or for those looking for a hands on type of gift.
This one sits in that sweet spot between being creative and being genuinely different. It’s not just a “drink coffee and learn a bit” day out, it’s about building something that’s completely your own, from flavour to name.
Your dad will begin with a coffee cupping session (a posh way of saying coffee tasting!), sampling a range of freshly roasted coffees, with everything from chocolatey and rich to bright and fruity.
The creative part begins once he’s worked out with he likes. He can mix beans using a technique called wet blending then adjust ratios to get the flavour he wants whilst testing and refining it.
The, he gets to take home his creation after he has given it its own unique name…Grumpy Dad Grind, Dad Fuel…you see where we’re going here!
This one is a bit more conventional as it’s quite a traditional present however this particular gift for dad who wants nothing has a twist! This option is a golf gift with a PGA professional!
With the help of a PGA professional, your dad with learn so many things. From reading the course and choosing the right club, adjusting the stance and swing based on actual shots to improving the short game, putting, and consistency
Because it’s one-to-one coaching, everything is tailored to what your dad needs so they can work out his strengths, bad habits and the areas that need the most work.
The reason this gift is unique is because it’s learning on the green so everything sticks plus alongside the practical nature of the sessions and course management tips, its skills he can develop whenever he plays golf.
Guinness Pouring Experience With Bottomless Brunch
This is the kind of brunch experience that doesn’t just revolve around sitting at a table waiting for drinks to arrive with your dad. You’ve got Guinness pouring, foam art, bottomless drinks and proper comfort food.
It takes place at in Northampton and starts with a crash course in pouring the perfect pint of Guinness. Your dad will learn the famous two-part pour, get hands on behind the bar, and even try his hand at creating Guinness foam art.
Once everyone’s had a go and made endless jobs about starting work behind a bar, the brunch option comes in which consists of 90 minutes of bottomless drinks including Guinness, and a choice of hearty brunch dishes, including vegan options
This is a classic memory making with your dad kind of gift, as are all the Father’s Day gift ideas here. It’s so easy to revert back to a tie or aftershave but these kind of experiences are so unique that they stick in your mind, and his, for a long time.
