You know what he’s like. You give him a pair of socks and he says ‘thank you, love’ and he will wear them. Of course. They will probably become his new favourite pair. Because you gifted them. And you wrapped them so nicely. Better than he ever could. You can’t go wrong with Father’s Day presents, really. But what if you got something surprising this year? Something he would not expect. Like a soap bar in the shape of a fish attached to a rope? Funny! Or one of those sticks that you burn and they smoke and make everything smell good. They’re called incense, Dad!
We took a thorough look at our range and picked our favourite gifts for him. The ones that will make him chuckle. Or frown. Or think: That’s summat different than socks.
Incense in a tin
Collins Room No. 11 Everyday Good Mood incense sticks are ideal to introduce someone to the incense life. Each tin contains 70 sticks and a handy clip to hold the stick in place while it’s slowly burning down. The packaging describes the fragrance as ‘orchard soil’ – a warm, earthy, musky scent – perfect for setting the mood on an outdoor adventure or transforming the atmosphere at home.
Soap on a rope, but a fish
Probably one of the most picked-up items in the shop is the Fish On A Rope Soap by Sting In The Tail. Eye-catching yet practical it puts a smile on peoples faces and certainly makes a surprising Father’s Day present.
A forest-y smelling candle
Does your dad know every leaf in the woods? Well, he might be excited by a candle that smells like he just stepped into a forest. Shinrin-Yoku by Earl of East is inspired by the Japanese ritual of forest bathing.
Olive oil soap
Olive oil is good for you, not only when consumed in food. French soap infused with olive oil acts like a natural rejuvenation. Great for hard-working hands that need a bit of TLC.
Buckwheat chocolate
Everyone likes a bit of chocky, but eccentric flavours, high-quality ingredients, and stylish packaging elevate a bar from a daily treat to a heartfelt gift. We recommend Ocelot’s 55% milk chocolate with toasted crunchy buckwheat. It’s not too sweet. Delicious!
