For the Foodie Dads
At hampers.com, our passion for food and drink runs deep and we know we’re not alone. While we offer a wide range of Father’s Day hampers, there are also plenty of ways to enjoy quality time together through shared food experiences.
Try a New Eatery
Treat Dad to a culinary adventure by discovering a new restaurant, pub, or café that suits his tastes. Whether he’s a fan of hearty pub meals, refined five-star dining, or has dietary preferences like vegan or gluten-free, explore places that cater to him without compromising on flavor.
Maybe there’s a CAMRA-recommended pub nearby offering craft ales he hasn’t tried yet. Book a table, dress up, and make it a night to remember.
Cook a Homemade Meal
Whether you’re a home chef or Dad usually rules the kitchen, plan a special meal made with love. Design a menu, pair it with a great wine (we have some lovely options in our Father’s Day wine range), and enjoy a relaxed dinner together.
You could even invite siblings and extended family to celebrate your dads and granddads as a group.
For Rest & Relaxation
While Mother’s Day is often linked with self-care, Father’s Day is just as important for encouraging a little downtime. Dads work hard, and many keep busy even in retirement — a day of R&R could be just what they need.
Play a Game
Break out a board game, deck of cards, or puzzle and spend some quality time together. Even the busiest dads will appreciate the chance to switch off and enjoy a simple, stress-free activity.
Can’t be together in person? Plan an online quiz or video call game session.
Watch His Favourite Movie
Curl up on the couch with one of Dad’s all-time favorite films. Stock up on snacks or pour a warming whiskey to set the scene for a relaxed evening in. Whether it’s a box set binge or a classic movie, enjoy every minute of it — together.
Book Some “Me Time”
For busy dads — or the fathers of your children — consider gifting a few hours of self-care. A massage, a spa treatment, or even just uninterrupted time with a new book in his favorite chair can work wonders.
If he’s a garden lover, our Garden Tea Break Hamper is perfect — packed with treats and even wildflower seeds for a peaceful afternoon outdoors.
For Fun & Laughter
Got young kids? They’ll love getting involved in the Father’s Day fun — and Dad will love every second of it. From little surprises to full-on activities, here are a few ways to bring some laughs to the day.
Dust Off the Old Console
Pull out that forgotten Nintendo Wii, PS4, or even a Game Boy, and bring the nostalgia back. Let Dad be a kid again — and introduce your children to the old-school games (and graphics!).
Prefer newer games? Get the whole family involved with multiplayer fun on a Nintendo Switch or compete in a Wordle challenge!
Reminisce with Old Photos
Create a personalized photo album or print out some forgotten favorites from your phone. Recreate childhood snapshots for a hilarious (and heartwarming) surprise.
Spend time flipping through photo albums or watching home videos together — a perfect way to reconnect and share family stories.
Head to the Park
Remember the days of Sunday kickabouts or backyard cricket matches? Bring them back! Take a trip to the park with Dad and play some old favorites. Whether it’s frisbee, football, or just a stroll, enjoy some fresh air and good laughs.
Make It a Father’s Day to Remember
However you choose to celebrate, make this Father’s Day one that stands out — not for how much you spend, but for the thought, time, and love behind it. Whether it’s a shared meal, a quiet moment, or a fun family activity, it’s about showing him how much he means to you.
