Off the cuff

People often complain that they find it difficult to shop for a suitable Father’s Day gift, so this year we’ve decided to help out all those uninspired shoppers by dedicating an area of our website to Father’s Day and I’m going to take your through some of my favourite gift ideas too.

1) Navy England Tie
I’m sure it won’t have escaped your attention that a World Cup is about to begin, nor will it have escaped your dad’s attention. This tie features a subtle St George’s Cross on the front, on the underside there’s a more obvious St George’s Cross with the word ‘ENGLAND’ printed across it.

2) Initial Personalised Cufflinks
We have a great range of themed cufflinks, and these are amongst my favourites. All of our cufflinks are handcrafted enamel, select the initials of your father for that personal touch.

3) Sterling Silver Collar Bones
Is your father a shirt aficionado? If so, then collar bones might be the perfect present! We have various sizes to suit various collars, I’ve picked out these sterling silver (925) collar bones in a length of 6.5cm (suitable for the Duke of York and Prince of Wales shirts), but it’s probably worth checking your dad’s shirts before you purchase. If you want to be a bit more adventurous, or you're on a smaller budget, then why not go for the St George's Cross enamel collar bones instead.

4) Blue Tonal Graduating Stripe Socks
It may be a cliché to buy socks as a Father’s Day gift, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great idea. We stock socks for most occasions, we have classic colours suitable for formal wear as well as some bolder patterns and brighter colours, the socks I’ve select represent a good balance between the two. These really are excellent socks, made in Italy by one of the finest sockmakers around.

5) Blue/Pink Check New England Shirt
I couldn’t resist putting a shirt on my list. However, I’ve not selected a formal shirt, it’s good to have a good mix of formal and casual shirts – and this New England shirt is both stylish and casual. It’s also sized in terms of ‘small, medium, large’ rather than collar size and sleeve length, so you might find it easier to guess your dad’s size.

So that’s my selection of Father’s Day gifts, I hope I’ve given you some ideas. Remember, we offer a 3 month ‘no quibble’ guarantee should you wish to return any products, and the last day to order Father's Day gifts and get them delivered on time is Wednesday, 16th June. Happy shopping!
