Father's Day is fast approaching (21st June, since you ask). We owe our Dads a lot - for many of us they are the ones who introduced us to shooting - so the annual chance to show a bit of appreciation is welcome. Check out these products from some of our favourite brands that we think would make great presents for your old man.
If, like me, your Dad has just about everything you can think of already, you’ll already be wracking your brains for an idea. Happily, GunsOnPegs is here to help with our Fathers Day Gift Guide, with ideas to suit every budget.
This classic baseball cap, made from cotton canvas, features a pig suede peak It has emboidered eyelets to allow breathability while the sun shines down and a safety clip and cord for those windy days out.
Carefully crafted in collaboration with expert distillers, with subtle additions of exotic spices reminiscent of evenings spent relaxing after a hard day in the field, this is a perfect Fathers Day gift. Made from 100% British wheat grain, which is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and blended with pure Sussex spring water, and an exclusive blend of botanicals, coriander and lemon zest gives the gin hints of spice and subtle natural tannins that perfectly complement the citrus notes. Chin Chin!
As time goes on it can feel like one’s tie collection gets a bit humdrum, with the same old favourites coming out time and again. Help your aged relative to enliven his neckwear game with one of these handmade silk ties from Farlows - he’ll be the envy of his syndicate, who will all think him jolly sharp.
All Dads love a barbie, that's a fact of life. There's something about the combination of smoke and meat. With the portable 'The Smokey Joe' charcoal barbecue your Dad can cook up a storm anywhere. The compact size is perfect for a weekend getaway or spontaneous day at the beach, or even the pigeon hide.
Give the gift of ice cold beer this Fathers Day! Yeti have long been the cooler of choice among American outdoor types, and for good reason. The YETI Hopper Flip Soft Cooler is perfect for keeping your food and drinks cold while out in the field. The Hopper Flip has the insulation power only a YETI can offer and is engineered to be tough. Its compact, cubed body means ultimate portability and its extreme insulation means your ice is staying ice. This cooler is comfortable to haul around yet still over-performs in the heat.
Help your Dad to bring a bit of country to the 07:05 to Waterloo with this smart laptop bag from Alan Paine. It features luxurious leather carry handles, a removable shoulder strap and trimmed with hard wearing leather with a striking check lining.
The keeping of a gamebook seems to have fallen out of fashion for some, but we think its high-time that changed. This example of the form by William & Son is bound in leather, and 10% of sales go to the Help for Heroes campaign. The book features a special forward from William Asprey, founder of William & Son, and renowned sporting cartoonist Bryn Parry OBE and the Help for Heroes crest. There are also several beautiful illustrations by Bryn Parry, ranging from pheasant and partridge to red and roe deer.
If your old man really does have everything, you could really push the boat out and get him one of these stunning elephant statuettes. Handmade in Italy, this chap stands 26cm tall and would look great as a desk ornament in the study or as a centrepiece on the dining room table.
