Dad says he doesn't want anything. He says it every year. The trick is finding something he'll use every day and that clearly came from you. A name, a date or a short message engraved on something practical does exactly that.
Here are ten personalised Christmas gifts for Dad (and Grandad, and the father-in-law who is impossible to buy for), all engraved in the UK and delivered free.
For the whisky lover
1. Personalised whisky glass gift set
Two engraved glasses, whisky stones and tongs in a personalised wooden box. It's our bestseller for a reason: it looks like a proper occasion gift the moment he opens it. See the whisky glass gift set (£24.99).
2. Engraved whisky stones gift set
Eight stainless steel cubes that chill a dram without watering it down. Each cube can carry a letter, so you can spell out DAD, GRANDAD or the grandchildren's initials. See the 8-piece whisky stones (£13.99).
3. Whisky stones in an engraved wooden box
Nine steel stones in a wooden box with his name on the lid. A smart one to keep on the drinks shelf. See the wooden box set (£13.99).
4. Granite whisky stones with an engraved base
Six natural granite stones on a wooden stand engraved with a message. A great stocking filler at under £10. See the granite stones (£9.99).
For the smartly dressed dad
5. Personalised cufflinks in a wooden box
Engraved with his initials, in silver, gold or black, presented in a personalised wooden box. Perfect if he has a Christmas party or a wedding coming up. See the cufflinks (£9.99).
6. Engraved cigar cutter
A double-blade stainless steel cutter with his name, in a gift box. Small, practical and surprisingly personal. See the cigar cutter (£6.99).
For the dad who is always on the go
7. Personalised travel mug
An insulated 500ml coffee cup engraved with his name or a message from the kids. Keeps his tea hot on the commute or the school run. See the travel mug (£9.99).
8. Bamboo travel mug
The same idea with a natural bamboo finish. A nice choice if he likes things a little less shiny. See the bamboo travel mug (£12.99).
9. 40oz tumbler with handle and straw
For the dad who works on site, in the garage or at the gym all day. 1.2 litres, keeps drinks cold for hours, engraved with his name. See the 40oz tumbler (£12.99).
For the dad who loves to cook
10. Engraved chopping board
A large acacia or bamboo board with the family name or "Dad's Kitchen" engraved in the corner. Built for everyday use and made to be kept. See the acacia board (£24.99) or the bamboo board (£18.99).
What to engrave: ideas that work
- His name or initials, simple and classic
- "Dad", "Grandad" or "Papa" with the year
- The children's or grandchildren's names
- A short in-joke only the family will get
- "Est." and the year he became a dad
Keep it short: a few words engrave more cleanly than a long sentence. If you're not sure about the layout, send us a message before ordering and we'll help.
