Want to treat your dad to some top-gear spoiling at home this Father’s Day? We’ve put in all the planning and plotted the ideal itinerary – plus we’ve thrown in some inspired outdoor and fitness gift ideas – so you can give your dad the royal treatment he deserves over one dream day, packed with awesome eats, family fun and relaxing moments. Here’s how to make him wish it was Father’s Day every day!
Breakfast In Bed
A fry-up brekkie in bed? You won't hear Dad saying no! Fire up the eggs and bacon on an induction hob for quick, even heat, or let a multi-grill handle the works in one go. Got a Dad who loves a toasted snack? A sandwich press can turn out a golden, gooey treat in minutes, and a pie maker is perfect for something a little more indulgent.
Don't forget the drinks. A fresh juice from a juicer is a great way to start the day, and no breakfast in bed is complete without a proper coffee. An espresso machine lets you dial in the strength, temperature, and milk texture to suit Dad's personal preference.
Lunch Is Served
What's that incredible smell? Perhaps it's a juicy rotisserie chicken roasting on the barbecue, using the hooded lid to transform it into an instant oven for expertly browned and succulent meats. Or maybe it's a pizza cooking to perfection thanks to a pizza oven's blazing stone-baked heat.
For something low and slow, a slow cooker turns out fall-off-the-bone ribs with barely any effort; once the meal's ready, just unplug and use it as a serving pot, then pop the removable crock straight into the dishwasher. Fancy something crispy instead? An air fryer is perfect for golden chips or crunchy wings on the side. How's that for fuss-free entertaining!
Read The Room
While you do the dishes, settle him on the sofa or in the garden with the latest page-turner from his favourite author on a tablet (a bright, easy-on-the-eyes screen makes for comfortable reading indoors and out). Or let him catch up on the Sunday papers in peace on a laptop, powerful enough to handle browsing, streaming, and everything in between.
If he'd rather tune out altogether, a pair of noise cancelling headphones is the perfect way to drown out the household noise and enjoy some well-earned peace and quiet.

It’s Movie Time!
Dim the lights, it's dad's pick. Whether it's the latest Bond or a Steve Martin comedy classic, a family screening is the perfect wrap-up for dad's special day. But have you got what it takes to create a cinema-grade experience? Enjoy stunning contrast and detail with a 4K Smart TV, bringing every scene to life with vivid colour and incredible clarity.
Got the screen but not the sound? An easy-to-install soundbar with wireless rear speakers adds immersive overhead and directional effects, so every explosion and whisper lands exactly where it should.
