More about Gifts for Dad

He does not need anything. We know.

That is the whole difficulty with buying for dads, and it is why this page exists. Around 270 things at the moment, all in stock, and nearly two thirds of them under £20. Nothing here is a novelty tie.

Under £10

A third of the collection sits here, and it is where the good small presents are. Dad Jokes cards at £4.99. A beer fridge magnet at £4. Dog-shaped paper clips at £3. A Wee Dram bamboo socks at £6.99. Buckfast chocolate at £8, which is either the funniest thing you will buy this year or a genuine favour, depending on the dad. Distillery soap is £8.50.

Wallets and Harris Tweed

Twenty wallets, most of them Islander and Maccessori Harris Tweed, woven in the Outer Hebrides. A tartan card zip wallet is £12.99 and a sky blue pop-up card wallet £24. At the top end, the Carloway backpack in blue tartan is £80 and the most expensive thing on this page.

Art prints

Our single biggest category for him, at 34 pieces. Sara Willia Landscapes do the atmospheric ones, and Aegir's Rest, an Iceland landscape, is £27. The Colours of Scotland by By Tilly is £21. Framed or not, a print is the present that actually gets looked at every day.

Whisky, beer and Scottish things

A spinning glass and whisky stones set is £15. There is a Sleepy Hollow mug at £17, a medium sheep in a flat cap and blue and green tartan at £22, and Och Wheesht And Get Oan Wae It at £5.99, which is a book and also a philosophy. For the desk, a Lumos oval walnut clock is £59.95.

Prices run from under £2 to £80, with nothing at all between £45 and £60, so if that is your budget you are choosing between a good print and a very good clock. Everything is picked by hand for our shop on King Street in Stirling. If you are not nearby, we post across the UK and delivery is free over £50.

Frequently asked questions

What do you get a dad who says he wants nothing?
Something he would never buy himself but will use daily. A wallet is the reliable answer, a print is the one people underestimate, and a decent pair of socks at £6.99 is not the joke present it used to be.

Anything good under £10?
Ninety-one things, so yes. Dad Jokes at £4.99 is our most-bought. If he is Scottish or pretending to be, the Buckfast bar at £8 does a lot of work for the money.

Can you post something Scottish abroad?
Yes, and it is one of the main things we do. Prints, socks, chocolate and the smaller Harris Tweed pieces all travel well and weigh almost nothing. See our guide to the best Scottish gifts to send anywhere, or our full Scottish gifts range.
