Choosing a gift for dad
Start with what he enjoys. For the dad who likes a drink, a personalised whiskey glass is the classic: the Name & Initials cut-glass whiskey glass holds 320ml and comes in a plain gift box, while the Any Message version adds a 50ml miniature of Jameson Irish Whiskey in a silk-lined gift box. The Guinness Gift Hamper pairs two 500ml cans of Guinness Draught Stout with a 20oz Guinness tulip glass and Guinness chocolates; the Roisin Dubh Hamper brings two Irish farmhouse cheeses and two French wines; the Tir na n’Og Hamper is a Bordeaux red with Carrigaline cheeses, soda bread toasts and chutney; and the Double Mixed Wine & Choc Hamper pairs a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc with Lily O’Brien’s chocolates. For a keepsake, the Year You Were Born mug lists the famous births, the GAA, Grand National and Six Nations winners and the price of a pint from his year, while a family photo printed on a solid pine wooden photo block, or turned into a photo jigsaw, puts the whole family on his desk. For the golfer, a set of three personalised golf balls printed with any message; for the dad who is always losing his glasses, a wooden spectacle holder engraved with his name or a line of your own; and for work, a personalised ballpoint pen engraved with his name. And for comfort, an embroidered bathrobe with his name, or the Butlers Irish Chocolate Collection.
What are good gifts for dad?
It depends on what he enjoys. For the dad who likes a pint or a whiskey: The Guinness Gift Hamper or a personalised whiskey glass. For the foodie: the Roisin Dubh or Tir na n’Og hampers. For the golfer: personalised golf balls. For the dad who has everything: something only you could give, such as a family photo on a wooden photo block or an Any Photo personalised keyring.

What should I get dad for his birthday?
Gifts that make his year part of the story work well: the Year You Were Born personalised mug, a personalised whiskey glass, or a family photo jigsaw. For a milestone birthday, the birthday gifts hub has a page for each big birthday from 30th to 80th, and our birthday gifts for him page has more ideas. Personalised pieces are made to order, so double-check names and spellings before you order.
How will the gift be presented?
Gifts sent straight to the recipient always arrive well-presented — exactly how depends on the gift. A hamper typically arrives in its own gift box, while other items are usually wrapped in tissue with a gift bag and ribbon, though presentation varies by item. You can also include a personalised card with your own message, added at checkout.
When should I order a Christmas gift for dad?
Order early. Personalised pieces such as whiskey glasses, golf balls and photo gifts are made to order, so allow a few extra working days for printing or engraving on top of normal delivery, and leave more room in the weeks before Christmas. Ready-made gifts such as hampers and chocolates are the safest choice closer to the day. Orders ship daily from Dublin, with delivery across Ireland, the UK and Europe; fresh flowers, fresh fruit hampers and balloons are delivered within Ireland only, and gifts containing alcohol to Ireland and the UK only.
