5 Alternative Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day Gifts
Father’s Day is a time for letting the cheesy dad jokes slide, turning a blind eye to his ‘fun’ shirt and tie collection and ignoring his eclectic choice of car music – although you love all those, really. In truth, Father’s Day is all about celebrating your dad and letting him know just how grateful you are to have him in your life!
But after you’ve exhausted all the usual gifting options (we’re talking socks, chocolate and craft beers) in years gone by, you may be wondering where you can find new gift ideas for Dad to make him really feel special ...
Wonder no more! We’ve got you covered. Here, we take a look at some of the most unique and alternative Father’s Day gift ideas to help you let your dad know how much you love and appreciate him.
Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas
If your dad loves the quirkier side of life, a bottle of aftershave might not cut it this Father’s Day. It’s time to think outside the box and find him a unique present that’s right up his street – because he’s one in a million, too.
Inspire his inner Sherlock Holmes with an overnight murder mystery escape, let him take a walk on the wild side with an afternoon of clay-pigeon shooting, or unleash his culinary talent with a sushi-making masterclass. From action-packed adventures to foodie delights and so much more, our collection of alternative Father’s Day gifts are sure to hold something that’s as weird and wonderful as he is!
For something a little different, why not treat him to a behind-the-scenes adventure of discovery into his favourite tipples? This incredible whisky and beer pairing masterclass at Brewhouse & Kitchen should whet his appetite! With locations across the UK, your dad and a dram-loving guest will learn all about the art of distilling and brewing, before sampling five different beers and five complementary whiskies. And as if that wasn’t enough, he’ll also get to tuck into a delicious meal from the Academy menu and be awarded with a special whisky and beer certificate to show off at home!

Before you browse, have a think about what really makes him tick. If he’s an adrenaline junkie through and through, what about a tandem skydive or flying lesson?

Whatever his passions and hobbies, you’ve come to the right place to find a gift that’s guaranteed to knock his socks off!
Delight your dad’s inner motorhead with an exhilarating triple supercar driving experience, where he can take his pick of three supercars from the world’s top motorsport marques – from Ferrari to Porsche, Aston Martin and more! After kitting up and receiving a full safety briefing, he’ll then strap in and put the pedal to the metal, ripping around the track for three miles in each of his chosen speed demons. To finish the daring day on a high, your dad will also get to hop into the passenger seat with a qualified instructor behind the wheel for a high-speed ride of a lifetime.
