Father’s Day Gift Guide: For the Dad Who Doesn’t Want Another Tie…(But Would Totally Race a Remote-Control Lamborghini in His Pyjamas)
This Father’s Day, we’re ditching the clichés and diving headfirst into the delightfully unexpected from Eastgate. No more socks-in-a-box (well, maybe just better socks). Scroll down to see our selection of gifts that’ll make Dad laugh, chill, and maybe even start a garage band.
1. F1 Dreams, Living Room Edition
Lamborghini, But Make It Mini. He can’t fit in one, but he can race one. A remote-control Lamborghini from The Entertainer and watch him drift through the living room like he’s on Top Gear. Warning: may cause competitive races with the dog.
Visit The Entertainer at Eastgate.
2. Dad. Rockstar. Same Thing.
Let him live the dream with The Rokzkool Jamming Session Voucher. Guitars, drums, and possibly a new band called “Midlife Crisis.”

3. Desk Jungle Vibes
Bring a little calm to his chaos. The Select Smart Garden is the perfect desk buddy—fresh herbs, zero effort, and a vibe that says, “I’m totally not stressed about that 87-email backlog.” 🌿 No green thumb? No problem.
4. Sock Game: Strong
Yes, socks. But not the sad kind. White Stuff socks are soft, stylish, and just quirky enough to say, “I have my life together, but I’m also fun at barbecues.”
🧦 Bonus points for a card that says, “You knock my socks off, Dad.”
Visit White Stuff at Eastgate.
5. Dad, But Make It Fashion
Time to upgrade his wardrobe from “functional” to “fashionable.” Fred Perry classics from Cafferys bring the cool without trying too hard. Polos, jumpers, and the occasional “Whoa, Dad, you look GOOD.”
🕶️ Midlife crisis? More like midlife style icon.
6. Game Night, Upgraded
Think your dad’s the funniest person in the family? Let him prove it. What Do You Meme from HMV is the ultimate test of dad humour, meme knowledge, and who can make Grandma laugh-snort.
🎲 Ideal for dads who secretly want to go viral.
7. Relaxation: Activated
Even superheroes need a break. The Shiatsu Pillow from Boots turns any seat into a spa. He’ll never leave the armchair again.
8. The Dad Joke Arsenal (You’re Welcome. Or Sorry.)
For the dad who believes he’s hilarious (and honestly, we love him for it). A Dad Joke Book from Waterstones. So many groaners, so little time. You’ve been warned. Pair with tea, a comfy chair, and a captive audience (sorry in advance).
