From techie dads to foodie fathers: our Father’s Day gift guide

On the lookout for a great Father's Day gift?

Father's day is only a couple of weeks away. With that in mind, many of us will have our thinking hats on when it comes to what to buy our dads. There's a lot of options to choose from which can be very overwhelming. Would he like something techie? Something foodie or something a bit different? To help you narrow down your choices we've come up with five fab gifts to suit all tastes.

Something useful: Graphite Grey Sonic Toothbrush €110

This is actually the top of my personal list on what to buy my husband from the kids as he's been on the lookout for a good electric toothbrush for a while. I have the Spotlight sonic toothbrush in white and I absolutely love it and have noticed a huge difference in my teeth since I started using it. Spotlight is also an Irish business so you'll be supporting local with this buy too.

Something Techie: Google Nest Hub €100

  I think we've all been guilty of buying our dad an alarm clock as a gift over the year, but this is it taken to the next level. The Google Nest Hub will let your dad control everything from the security system, the house lights, music and entertainment and his alarm all from this small touchscreen device. We got one recently and my techie husband is obsessed with it so if your dad is in any way a gadget freak he'll love this.

Something foodie: Porthouse Mixed Cans Pack €36.95

Another great Irish business, Porterhouse Brew Co have a wide variety of craft beers available on their online store. You can pick up your dad's favourite or go for a mix and match selection like the mixed cans pack which includes three Hammer Pilsner, three Rambler, three Chocolate Truffle and three Sundown Session IPA. Highly recommend the Chocolate Truffle if he's a fan of stout.

Something sporty: Work out equipment

With gyms closed for the better part of the last year and a half, I think we've all learned the value of having our own workout equipment at home. Whether it's big workout pieces like treadmills or smaller apparatus like exercise balls if you've got a sporty dad you really can't go wrong with gym gear. McSport Ireland is currently running a massive sale on their products and there are some great bargains.

Something special: Ball Cooling Beer Dispenser €40

  With things starting to open up again it's looking like summer parties will soon be back on the cards. What better way to get the party started than with your own beer dispenser? The InnovaGoods Kitchen Fun Ball cooling beer dispenser is ideal to serve and cool drinks as it has a closed compartment for ice inside that cools the content without watering it down. Honestly, I think you'll be your father's favourite child if you turn up on Father's Day with this.
