Father’s Day is just around the corner on 20th June and it is quite a special one for me, as it is the first since my dad relocated from Essex to five minutes away from me in Bournemouth, so I am taking him out for lunch, just the two of us. If you are looking for Father’s Day gifts, whether you are able to celebrate in person, or from afar, I have put together this post with items from a selection of lovely businesses, there’s something for everybody!
Chocolate Tasting
Willies Cacao have the perfect gift for chocolate lovers, their Chocolate Tasting Box is an immersive experience, to enjoy together for Father’s Day. Join along via Zoom on Father’s Day at 6pm to find out more about the chocolate. I can confirm that I tasted all of the chocolate, and it was delicious, with some really different flavours that I would never have imaged before.

Looking for a gift for a wine lover? This wine decanter would make a lovely, unique gift and provide a talking point when displayed. The design ensures the taste and smell of the wine is maximised, and it looks fantastic on display.

Detective Themed Treasure Trail
Since the pandemic, many people have discovered the joy of walking, and getting outside in the fresh air more. The Treasure Trail packs from Treasure Trails make a wonderful, alternative and interactive gift idea for Father’s Day. There are so many to choose from, I went for this Detective Themed trail, which covers the land between Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, as it is such a beautiful place to walk, and not too far from me and my dad, but there are trails available all over the country.
