How to choose for your dad
- Start with his favourite hobby and look for gear that helps him practise or enjoy it more often.
- Replace something worn out or annoying, like the phone charger he keeps borrowing or a tangle of old cables.
- For a new dad, a baby carrier or mobile is practical, and it helps to check what the family already has.
- If he plays billiards, accessories like cues, chalk or a cue case suit most skill levels.
Usually safe to skip
- Novelty gifts with jokes about dads, which get a laugh and then sit in a drawer.
- Advanced sports gear for a hobby he only dabbles in, since it can feel like pressure.
- Complicated gadgets with lots of setup, because they often never get plugged in.
Questions people ask about gifts for your dad
- What do you get a dad who buys everything himself?
- Look for upgrades he would not bother buying, such as a better speaker or a multi-device charger. Gifts connected to a hobby, like golf practice aids, also tend to get real use.
- Is a golf training aid a good gift for someone who golfs?
- Yes, especially for winter months when courses are closed. Putting mats and swing aids let him practise at home, and they suit casual players as well as keen ones.
- What is a good first Christmas gift for a new dad?
- A baby carrier or a mobile is useful in the early months. Pair it with something personal for him, since new parents often get gifts only for the baby.
