10 original gifts for Father's Day
We're counting down the days as we get closer to 19 March. You know what that means, don't you? Father's Day is coming.
At IKEA, we know that there's no better gift for your dad than spending time with him and enjoying a nice, fun family day together, if the situation allows it. But what if you fancy giving him an extra treat? We've prepared a list of our "top Father's Day gifts" especially for this. They are original, suitable for all budgets and above all, very practical. Just as we like it.
So, what are you waiting for? Take a look! Find the perfect gift!
1. Gifts for music and soundtrack lovers
If your father is a music lover, there's nothing better than giving him a little treat for his ears – but no, not just with compliments but with this first suggestion: a portable Bluetooth speaker. What do you think?
Its sound and convenient size will make it easy for your dad to enjoy it anywhere in the house at any time, whether he's playing music while working at his desk, taking a morning shower or simply relaxing on the sofa at home.
Did you know that the particular model shown in the photo is made from recycled ABS plastic? So, as well as being original and affordable, you will be giving him a much more environmentally friendly product.
2. Gifts for forgetful fathers
Is your father always looking for his charger at home because he never leaves it in the same place? What if we make it easy for him? Give him a charging base, which can be placed in a convenient and easy spot. It's a super practical and affordable gift that's great for everyday use.
Wireless chargers are a very simple way to always have a charging point at home, without the need for extra cables. So, it's perfect for de-cluttering your desk or any small table.
3. Gifts for working fathers
If you liked the idea above, this one will delight you. For working fathers who spend hours and hours in front of their computer screens, there's nothing better than some basic accessories to help them work comfortably.
It's important to take care of the people we love; that's why one of the gift ideas we suggest is a work lamp. A well-lit area not only helps concentration but also prevents eye irritation and fatigue.
If he already has a desk lamp, or you simply want to complement it, you can choose to give him some desk tidying and storage accessories.
For example, we suggest some practical magazine files or a desk organiser like the ones in the picture. They will help him keep everything at hand and work much better.
4. Gifts for adventurous fathers
Although this year hasn't been the best for adventure and thrill-seekers, this gift could be the perfect touch for your next getaway together.
If he likes weekend getaways, a backpack could be his perfect Father's Day gift. Our model differs from the conventional backpack, as it has a side-closing system designed to make it more secure and easier to access the objects inside. Like it?
The best thing about giving a backpack as a gift is that it's not only affordable but also very useful, as it's perfect for other activities, such as commuting to work. In fact, many of our backpacks have a special compartment to keep your laptop and lunch box out of harm's way.
5. The perfect companion for his time in the living room
If your dad loves to spend time in the evenings relaxing in the living room while reading his favourite magazine or surfing the internet, this practical gift is sure to make it even easier for him to do just that.
It's an accessory to keep the objects he uses the most in the living room close at hand. This storage bag will allow him to store everything he needs. When he's done, he can simply put whatever it is back in its corresponding compartment.
6. A gift for dads who love to look smart
Beauty routines are no exception for dads. They have their little tricks too! So, to help them look their best, this suggestion is designed to bring a bit of order and efficiency to their day-to-day lives.
If he has several jars of creams, lotions etc., there's nothing like a box with compartments like this, so he can put them all inside. Gifting accessories that make tidying up easier not only pleases the eye but also helps us to be quicker and more efficient with our tasks. This way, we have extra time for what really makes us happy.
7. Gourmet gifts for Father's Day
Some people are won over more by their palate. So, with foodie fathers in mind, our next idea is to give some coffee or tea as a Father's Day gift.
What's so special about this set? In addition to its rich flavour and enchanting aroma, the unique thing about this gift is that it's more environmentally friendly as it's 100% organic.
At IKEA, we support the production of sustainable organic foods and drinks. In fact, all these beverages have a UTZ certification, which guarantees that they have been grown according to sustainable methods and that the farmers concerned work in fair conditions.
The coffee shown in the image, for example, is a very special product as it is a fruity coffee with a dark roast. Your father will fall in love with its notes of dark chocolate and nuts.

8. Gourmet accessories for the biggest foodies
Now that we've opened the gastronomic floodgates, it wouldn't hurt to show you some accessories to go with our previous suggestions, don't you think?
If your father loves tea and coffee, he'll definitely be happy to receive an accessory kit for hot drinks (even better if you accompany it with a pack of good coffee or some new and exotic infusions).
So, for this Father's Day gift idea, we recommend, for example, something as practical as a spoon to measure just the right amount of coffee or some beautiful and elegant boxes to keep the product in perfect condition. Even something as simple as bamboo coasters can be the perfect touch for your dad to enjoy his moment to the fullest.
9. For fathers who don't have a minute to spare
Why give up a good coffee or a delicious infusion? If your father is constantly racing against the clock during his morning routine, this gift will come in handy so he doesn't have to turn them down.
A portable mug to carry his favourite hot drink is the perfect solution. With this gift, you will not only be helping your father but also the environment as you will prevent him from buying disposable products, thereby generating less waste in his daily life.
And a vacuum flask is perfect not only when he's on his way to work but also to take with him on a trip or a family outing. What do you think? With this and the previous suggestions, you can definitely create the ideal kit.
10. The perfect accessories for his meals at home.
Another option for a Father's Day gift is a complete set of glasses for your home-tasting sessions.
In our range, for example, we have a wide variety of wine, champagne and beer glasses that will make your tastings at home a full sensory experience. Because there's nothing better than a drink served in a custom-made glass.
You can gift them wrapped up in a nice package. Although – if we may make another recommendation – to make the gift even more special, you can give him the glasses directly during a special tasting session that you've prepared. What do you think?
Serve some of his favourite snacks and use them for the occasion. He'll feel like royalty!
What did you think? We hope you'll be inspired and enjoy a very special day with your father. If you liked this article and want even more ideas, don't miss out on this selection.
