Father's Day Gift Guide – Personalised Gifts Made The Right Way

Celebrate the leading man in your life with a gift that honours their unique style and personality.

With Father's Day just around the corner, we've drawn up the daddy of all shopping lists – a non-exhaustive roll call of items we'd be only too happy to receive. Plus one if money was no object. 

Each unite form with function, making them useful, enduring and iconic. Crucially, they are also made the right way, celebrating quality materials and quality manufacturing.

From stylish Swiss-made timepieces to sustainably-made stationery, clothing and luggage, our Father's Day gift guide is brimming with ideas that will make your dad feel truly special.

Where relevant we've included items from the Wingback Collection that would complement the hero items on this list. Hopefully our Father's Day gift guide sparks some ideas next time you're on the hunt for that perfect gift for your old man.

Laird Hatters Panama Hat

Handwoven in Ecuador with natural straw, this London institution's lightweight and breathable Panama Hats are finished off by hand in Hertfordshire, England. Happen to find yourself passing through Singapore? Take a stroll over to the charming neighbourhood of Joo Chiat to explore the atmospheric Hat of Cain store (pictured below), before lubricating your purchase with a Singapore Sling.

 

Ginger Pig Butchery Course

If experiences are more your old man's thing then check out the butchery class at the Ginger Pig in London. You'll spend a few hours learning to prepare a cut before sitting down to enjoy a meal and a few glasses of claret with your fellow butchers. The best bit, you get to take your masterpiece home to enjoy a few days later. Tried, tested and thoroughly recommended by Wingback.

 

Isle of Harris Distillery

Soon-to-be distillers of the first single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris, a small island sat off the far northwest coast of Scotland – the Hearach Single Malt Scotch Whisky is due for launch in late September 2023. Until then, the company's refreshing gin and eye catching glassware always comes high on our personal gift lists.
