Men's fashion and lifestyle influencer Rob Kenny is back with his annual Father's Day gift guide ahead of Sunday, June 16.
If you're looking to show your dad (or any man that you love) you care this Father's Day, there is a huge array of brilliant gift suggestions below. From stylish trinkets to bigger spends, there is a gift option for all budgets and tastes, with a few Irish-made gems and staycation spots in the mix.
Almost Home
Almost Home is a unisex clothing brand co-founded in 2019 by Irish creative Luke Sean Murphy and model Diego Barrueco. With comfort always being key, this collection of elevated basics would make the perfect gift for any casual-cool dad this Father's Day. From sweat sets to knitwear and accessories, Almost Home is the perfect stop to keep dad looking effortlessly cool this Father’s Day. Pictured above is their ‘First Pick’ sweater retailing for €111.95, available from their website here.
For the Bougie dad
La Bougie's Sage & Bitter Orange Candle is a proven men’s favourite. And the modern man knows how much a gorgeous, scented candle makes a huge difference to a room. Both for mood, ambiance, and wellness. Upon creating this candle owner Lisa Hagerty said: "The classic cologne notes of geranium, juniper and orange blossom from Samuel's barbershop drift across the square on a Saturday morning ... so I used every part of the orange tree - the wood, the fruit and the blossom to amplify this barbershop fragrance. I adore it." Retailing for €30 through their website here.
A Unique Northern Irish stay: Galgorm Resort
Celebrate Father's Day in affordable luxury at Galgorm Hotel in Co Antrim, an oasis located along the stunning River Maine. Treat Dad to a pampering retreat amidst lush landscapes and tranquil surroundings. Having just recently returned, I can promise the outside bath experience is a must. Indulge in relaxation at their enormous and renowned spa, where Dad can unwind with bespoke treatments and soothing experiences. The resort also boasts an array of activities Dad may love, including golf and fishing, as well as gourmet dining featuring locally sourced ingredients.
Customised golf balls
This is (genuinely) part of the Father's Day gift I have ordered for my own Dad, after I spotted him drawing smiling faces on all of his golf balls (so when found out on the course, he is aware which ball is his). So I know this gift will be a hit! But also a great laugh. Whether your dad is a seasoned pro or just up for a fun joke together, look no further than these personalised golf balls featuring your favourite face. Available from www.wanderprints.com in packs of one to six, starting at just €15.95, they're a hole-in-one present for any golf enthusiast.
Maie Atelier
Why not treat dad to a pair of sunglasses for the summer from Ireland's latest premium accessories brand, Maie Atelier? After only launching in May 2024, their first collection of sunglasses are already flying out the door. We love to see it for a creative and stylish young Irish brand. For dad, why not pick up a pair of their Ro glasses, retailing for €130. They come in four different colourways, pictured above in black.

Back in the day shaving gels were a standard experience and not a product we would ever take particular joy or skin benefits from. Well, those days are gone, and this shaving gel by gorgeous, organic Irish brand VOYA is my own personal favourite. VOYA is the world-renowned Irish brand that is famous for harnessing the super-powers of organic Irish seaweed (which is sustainably hand-harvested from the cleanest waters off the Atlantic coast in Sligo) and boasting a blend of natural ingredients like seaweed extract and essential oils. Its cooling sensation is particularly soothing during those hot summer shaves. The cooling shaving gel retails for €29 from their website.

Another super option for the dads on the hunt for a new signature scent this Father's Day.
