As far as gifting goes, fathers are probably the toughest group of recipients to shop for. It’s quite easy to veer into cheesy territory – neckties and framed photos are options we’ve exhausted long ago. The ideal reminder of your love is in the details: from a comfortable, elegant new lounge chair for his study to the perfect vessel for his favourite whiskey. We round up eight gifts – both physical and experiential – that will bring a smile to the most discerning dad’s face.
Carl Hansen & Son Signature Chair
The last piece of furniture designed by famed Danish designer Frits Henningsen and the epitome of simple Danish design, this classic lounge chair would be an elegant addition to any study or den. Available in either oak or walnut with various finishes and with leather or fabric upholstery.
Timothy Oulton Raleigh Spitfire Case
Named for Sir Walter Raleigh, the fearless British explorer, this hand-crafted case features interlocking silver panels that imitate the design of heroic World War II fighter planes for a rugged look. Available in four sizes: mini, small, medium, and large.

The best whisky deserves to be enjoyed in the best vessel. This crystal whiskey tumbler has a sleek linear silhouette, making it the perfect statement piece for any bar.
