Father’s Day is coming up soon (15th June for most countries) and dads can be difficult to shop for but Etsy is here to help. They tasked us with finding some unique Father’s Day gift ideas and these picks from artists and makers are sure to show your dad – or other father figure – that you care.
If your dad loves a cuppa, Poppekins (UK) has some colourful double coasters ready for tea and a biscuit. You could pair this with a new mug and a pack of his favourite biscuits.
Even more unique are the hand-drawn ceramics at Jimbobart (UK). This ‘Tell Me There’s Ice Cream’ otter bowl made me laugh but there’s animal designs for all kinds of foods and everyone loves having their own special plate or bowl that no one else is allowed to use.
Dads are often great at building and fixing things and a wooden puzzle kit is more entertaining than flatpack furniture. There are loads of kits to choose from but this Robotime Chocolate Factory (EU, but widely available) is also a marble run so it will be fun to keep around to play with during boring phone calls.
A little easier but much cuter are the wooden Father’s Day cards at Dapple & Dot (UK). They’re flat-packed for shipping and then you pop out the pieces to build the scene. They can even be personalised with a message for a lovely keepsake. Choose from dinosaurs or skateboarding bears.
MyZoetrope (US) has over 2 dozen cute Father’s Day cards so you’re sure to find something that suits you, especially if you both love animals and puns.
Socks don’t need to be a boring gift and they’re always useful. Dodo Socks (EU) have some very unique and quirky designs including dinosaurs, cats and frogs. The socks are all made in Ukraine and come in multiple sizes for adults.
If his office or workshop could do with some new art, ILOVEDOODLE (US) has hundreds of cute and clever art prints that look like landscapes or plants until you spot all the cats! They’re all available in multiple sizes and are easy to mix and match to fill any space.
My dad started adding pins to his backpack so now we keep buying him more as a souvenir of our trips together. There’s so many great shops with designs to suit any interests but I picked out DKNG Studios (US) who have lots of enamel pins & patches with cool retro travel and adventure themes.
A keyring is another useful gift option and these San Francisco keychains from Tomoko Maruyama (US) have extra little charms that are sure to bring back happy memories of a family trip. Shop around to find more keychains for your favourite places.
