Hotel Chocolate Tasting Club Subscription

As far as food subscriptions go, this is awesome. Your dad will receive a new box of original and often unusual chocolates from this top chocolatier every four weeks for for three months, six months or a year. He can choose his selection from mixed, all dark, no alcohol or rare cocoa. The only downside is when the subscription time is up. Order online and you can pick up the gift pack within two hours at over 70 store locations. They are taking orders up until 1pm on the actual day - you'll just need to make sure you get there before the shops close. From £50, hotelchocolat.com

The Gentleman’s Indulgent Afternoon Tea, Chester Grosvenor

Afternoon tea isn’t exactly, well, manly. But there’s not a dainty cake or finely cut cucumber sandwich in sight with this one. Instead, expect crusty doorstep sandwiches, chunky chips and local Cheshire cheese, as well as fruit cake, brownies – all washed down with a G&T and a pot of tea. Purchase and they will send you an email voucher. £28 per person, chestergrovesnor.com

Verdict

You’ll be hard pushed to find a dad who won’t appreciate a Spotify Premium Subscription, even if he doesn’t understand what it is when you give it to him. Providing all his favourite tracks on tap, he will be in music heaven in no time. We also like the BOSS Bud Leather Belt – a grand opportunity to get your own back on any dad that has a history of telling his offspring to pull up their trousers.
