Best Christmas gift ideas for dad 2023 

Certainly one of the most challenging people to buy a gift for is your own father. Even if you know him better than anyone else, what to buy for a man who doesn't necessarily always want presents. A hardback book is the first thing that comes to mind, but even that loses its lustre after the first few years. When he has received books as presents for ten years in a row that is not a good thing. We built a gift list with a great mix of personal, fun and emotional gifts that Dad is sure to love.

It's sure to be easy to please your dad. A good meal, a sports movie open on the TV and a comfy couch to sit on (and fall asleep on), and he'll be at the top of his game. Christmas, however, is a different story. It's a time when you need to come up with something much more personal; something that reminds you of you and the journey you've taken together. Even if the gift is a small necklace pendant, choose a pendant that reminds you of a fun experience.

Chances are, your dad already has all the little gadgets and fun little things he's bought himself and received from everyone else as gifts. What's worse, he's hardly given you any hints about what he'd like you to get him this Christmas. We're here to help you. We have gifts for all kinds of dads and ideas on how to build a story or a package around them. Whether your dad's a handyman, curator, costume designer or rock star, we've got you covered. Some of the gift ideas can be very neutral and some can be very funny. But all of them will be particularly meaningful - after all, they're coming from you.

When you're browsing gift picks and ideas, keep your father-in-law, stepfather and grandfather-in-law in mind. If you're responsible for their gifts too, you'll find lots of great ideas on the list!
