Looking for a Father's Day gift? June is the month to celebrate all fathers, be it your own father, your children's father, or a father figure who has a positive impact on your life. Those men involved in raising children deserve to be celebrated, and doing so with meaningful gifts can make the occasion even more special.   

For this special day, why not surprise your father or father figure with a unique, personalised gift? These gifts are designed with the recipient in mind, offering a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can be cherished for years to come.

Let's take a look at some of the best and most well-received personalised gifts for Father's Day this year.

 

Photo Books

Designing a custom photo book means you can personalise every aspect of the book, from the type of cover you choose, the number of pages, and the number and type of images involved. You can use the photo book to tell a story or share a timeline. Or it can be your favourite pictures, the best memories or shots of that perfect trip you cherish in your mind or anything else. The limit is your imagination and the number of pictures you can use. But this modern-day take on the photo album can be the perfect way to celebrate the father in your life.

 

Joke Gifts

Not all personalised gifts need to be serious and sentimental, and there are so many fun gifts you can personalise for the man you're celebrating this Father's Day with. From socks emblazoned with their face or your face or the face of something that you will find amusing to mugs with funny slogans on, beach towels personalised to their hobby, or anything else that will elicit a laugh and be something they can enjoy. Even that cheeky NSFW bottle opener can be a great gift if your dad, or the dad you are buying for, will appreciate it.

 

Story Books

Personalised storybooks are a wonderful gift for new dads or those with young children. These books, created with love and imagination, tell a story of life and adventures, strengthening the bond between father and child and evoking heartfelt emotions. 

Personalised story books for dads include books you need to "dad," which is a cartoon image of "dad." You need options much like the Where Wally books. Or you can insert them into fairy tales or original stories for a truly unique book that they can keep forever.

 

Jewellery

Whether you prefer the classic Dad ring or necklace, or opt for something more discreet, personalised jewellery tailored to the wearer will always be a great gift if they wear jewellery. You can get an engraving on a bracelet, for example, or the back of a watch; you can personalise a necklace via an image of you or children, or you can engrave cufflinks or buy jewellery with their initial on it entirely up to you, but this is a timeless gift that most dads will be grateful to receive.

It's only a few weeks until Fathers Day in the UK and as such many of us are thinking about what gift to buy our dads or our kid's dad. It's always nice to get something a little different and I definitely enjoy buying gifts that will be well received and suit the recipient's interests, but men are notoriously hard to buy for. Therefore I am sharing some ideas of different items to get the dad in your life. 

For the Dad Chef - Opinel 4 Piece Kitchen Knife Set from Whitby & Co

A couple of Christmas' ago my son received a classic Opinel working man's knife, which he takes camping and out into the woods. It is a great product that has stayed sharp and still remains his favourite for outdoors work. With that in mind, I ordered my husband this Opinel Loft 4 piece kitchen knife set. It contains all the essentials - a peeler, paring knife, serrated knife and vegetable knife. I love the fact they each come with a different coloured wood handle, and there are loads of colourways available so you can order what suits your kitchen.

Both my husband and I originally trained as chefs, so we are very fussy about our knives and have owned many knives from the big brands, but we'd never had an Opinel between us and I can honestly say they have now become a favourite. I would happily buy their knives again and at £32.95 for the set, I think they are great value. I thinking of buying the 4 piece table knife (#ad) set soon for when we have steak.

Daddy says this is the best Fathers Day gift ever

My husband is one of the hardest men to buy a gift for. He is one of those guys who does not want anything and whilst many would think this is a good thing as he can just go without, it does not satisfy the kids desire to give him something on Fathers Day.

So this year I asked dh what he would like and quite flippantly with a smile he said he would like a peaceful lie-in on the morning as the girls were forever waking him at 6am when they get up and turn the TV on downstairs in the lounge, right under our bedroom.

I didn't give this much more thought until Aldi got in touch and showed me their gift selection for Fathers Day.  Perfect, a portable DVD player!

For £49.99 you can have a 9" portable DVD player that also plays films from an SD card or USB stick and the girls can watch it in the kitchen away from our bedroom. We had a trial run this morning, I was already in the kitchen when Miss M came down and wanted to watch some TV to wake-up, so I popped Beethoven (the dog film, rather than anything more culturally sophisticated) in and she grabbed a seat.  The best thing is that the DVD player has a sound limit and it is enough to hear it well but not enough to disturb us upstairs! Very soon her twin joined her and they sat there mesmerised for a good half hour before I needed to feed them.

I can see that on Fathers Day morning this will work a treat so daddy can have his lie-in and then when I come down and join them we can cook him a lovely fry-up to enjoy in bed.

I've been really impressed with the Maxtek portable DVD player that we have been sent, it comes with a 3 year warranty and has the after sales support number on the box in case you need help. There was no real set up to it, it is all intuitive and the remote control came with a battery in it ready for use, just remove the tag. There are full instructions and a quick set-up guide if you want to read them though.

As you can see in the picture above, it looks quite sleek, the only problem with that of course is that it shows all the finger marks but a quick polish with a tea towel worked a treat. The case does not feel too flimsy but it is definitely light enough that the kids can use it in the car with headphones. I can see my three kids having to work out a rota for long car journeys as already they are all saying they want it this weekend when we go to visit relatives.

I have been impressed with the built in lithium battery. I charged it when we received it and it has been used for about 90 minutes so far and still has charge, so it really will be good for the car and it also came with an in-car charger as well as a standard plug charger.

The screen swivels 180 degrees and can then fold back flat against the bottom of the case which means it is nice and sturdy. We did not have any jumping when we used it and the screen resolution is really good.Portable DVD players definitely seem to have improved in the five years since we last had one. It was super easy when I inserted a USB stick with a couple of films on it, I just pressed the USB button and a menu came up for me to choose which film we wished to watch. I haven't got a large SD card so I could not try that as all my other devices take micro SD cards.

I think this portable DVD player is a great buy and will be well used in our house.

You can purchase it from Aldi from the 5th June but be quick as it is available a limited time as with all the Aldi special buys. If you haven't shopped at Aldi before, I really would recommend a visit as it is quite different to a traditional British supermarket but once you get over the different layout and try out some products you will find the quality is exceptional and the prices superb.  Those Germans really know how to create something good.

Disclosure: we received the portable DVD player and a pair of headphones for the purpose of this review. I have not been instructed what to write and I remain honest.  Many thanks Aldi.
