Father's day gifting can be tricky! Of course you can take the easy route and just pick up another tie or pair socks, and Dad would still give you a big bear hug and be thankful for his lovely offspring. But why not get him something fun this Father's Day!? Something that will make him laugh or get excited, something he'll remember for Father's Days to come!

We're staging a tie and sock intervention, it's for your own good but more so for Dad! To help you move past these tired traditions, we've put together a huge list of our favourite fun, quirky and unique gifts for Dad!

And if you need a bit more advice, this week we'll be sharing lots of neat gift ideas for different interests. Here are my top picks for Foodie Dads to get you started!

For a bit of Dinner Party Fun – Hot Stone Grill Set

With this neat set, guests can grill their favourite meal right at the table!

It's great for grilling meat, fish and vegetables, and includes a heavy thick stone grilling surface with a grill rack, tray and two burners.

For Dads who like to get creative in the kitchen – The Rice Cube

Simple to use, unlimited in possibilities – the Rice Cube squashes your ingredients into perfect little cubes. Making incredibly attractive and unique sushi has never been simpler!

Because it uses compression to mould the rice or food into cubes, there is no need to add vinegar or sugar to make the rice sticky, cutting down calories as well as preparation time. Very Clever!

Whilst its main use may be rice, it is also excellent for sensational starters, exotic desserts and other snacks such as meatballs, risotto, cheese, potato, polenta and falafel.

mmmm… Falafel cubes!

For Geeky Foodie Dads – Be the Character Aprons

Who’s that lurking through the kitchen? It could be Dad, or it could be Batman getting burgers ready for dinner or baking that cake you’ve been begging for! Someone call the Commissioner!

It’s totally your call if you want to give him the mask too and make him wear it… but we certainly think it would make everything taste better!

Perfect for impressing his mates at the next BBQ – Mad Millie Fresh Sausage Kit

Dad can make delicious gourmet sausages at home, know what is in your family's food and be creative by making something completely unique and tasty!

Scrumptious recipes include; Greek, Italian, Spanish Chorizo Pork, Pork with Beef & Sundried Tomato, British Style Lamb, Low Fat Chicken & Herb, Garlic & Pepper Pork, Venison with Cranberry & Walnut.

This kit contains everything you need (except the fillings), including gluten free collagen casings.

All of our fantastic Mad Millie DIY Cider & Food Kits are perfect for a Foodie Dad!

For Coffee Loving Dads – Cold Brew Coffee Pot

The art of cold-brewing coffee has been practised for centuries, but it's only in recent times that this fresh and flavoursome process has really started to hit the mainstream.

This beautifully simple method preserves the complex flavour compounds usually destroyed during a hot brew; leaving you with a pleasantly sweet coffee and none of those acidic or burnt overtones.

When expensive coffee brands boast “chocolatey notes” and “nutty aromas” – Dad can finally taste these heavenly intricacies! Ready to splurge? Pair it with one of our great Coffee Mugs and some tasty coffee

Something a bit cute and quirky – Fred Funny Side Up

Funny side up are handy frames that shape and mould two eggs into attractive egg art. Just place the mould in your frying pan, crack two eggs into the frame and in a jiffy Dad will have a breakfast buddy to hang out with. It’s two eggs funny side up! There are so many cool and quirky gifts in our fun Fred range.
