Unique Father’s Day Gifts For Your Dad

Father’s Day on 19th June is a chance for children, young and old, to say ‘thank you’ to their Dads, and what better way to express your love than with one of Past Times’ inspiring Father’s Day gift ideas?
The best Father’s Day presents are those that show you know and understand your Dad, such as a visit to his favourite restaurant or a trip to the opera or a special football match, or a gift inspired by some of the things he loves best, whether it’s gardening or cooking, listening to music, or sitting on the sofa with a good book.

Father’s Day Gifts For Book Lovers

The Past Times library is filled with fantastic books to entertain and inspire, including beautifully illustrated keepsake books that are bound to cover one of your Dad’s favourite pastimes. We have books for art lovers and music buffs, football fanatics and cricket aficionados, books on the spitfire and the Second World War, books for gardeners and cooks, books on trains and cars, plus anthologies of jokes, humorous recollections and just plain silliness that will have your Dad laughing out loud.

World War Father’s Day Gifts

For a lot of Dads, the First and Second World Wars are a constant source of fascination, some Dads having experienced war at first hand, others with Dads or uncles who have lived through conflict. At Past Times we have a range of military history books that offer the perfect Father’s Day present, from books on the Blitz to books on the Battle of Britain. Other Father’s Day gift ideas for war enthusiasts include a range of Spitfire emblazoned gifts, from key rings and cufflinks to cushions and ties, plus a host of items printed with the famous Second World War motto, “Keep calm and carry on.” And if it’s the Great British spirit your dad loves, our Union Jack range will make ideal Father’s Day presents.

Other unique Father’s Day gifts for the musical-minded include our retro-style radios, and CD and MP3 players in the shape of the iconic mini and jukebox, plus traditional-style music players that look like antiques but feature all the latest technology.
