The Father's Day Gifts He Will Actually Keep

Most Father's Day gifts last until the next drawer clearout. These ones earn a permanent spot on the shelf, on the bar, on the desk. Father's Day is 21 June and the window to get something genuinely good is right now.

At Crawford & Bond we have been building a range of gifts for the dad who is harder to buy for than most, the one who already has everything ordinary, the one whose tastes run slightly sideways from the mainstream, the one who deserves something that actually reflects who he is.

For the Gamer Dad - D20 Dice Mug and Oil Burner

The D20 Dice Mug is shaped and numbered exactly like a twenty-sided die, bold red, lidded and genuinely satisfying to drink from. Whether it is morning coffee, evening tea or something stronger, rolling a natural 20 on your morning brew is the kind of detail that a certain kind of dad appreciates unreasonably much.

The D20 Dice Oil Burner takes the same design language into the home fragrance world, a red ceramic icosahedron with cutout faces that let candlelight flicker through the numbers, creating an atmospheric glow that works in a gaming room, a study or anywhere he actually spends his time. Together they make a gift set that is specific, thoughtful and entirely unlike anything else he will receive this year.

For the Dad Who Loves the 80s - Retro Cassette Notebook

A Soundtrack From The Past. The cassette tape journal is one of those objects that stops people in their tracks. Black hardback, decorated with a full retro cassette design, rainbow stripe, A Side label, the works. This is a notebook for the dad who still owns the records, still talks about the decade and still believes Side A was always better than Side B. For journalling, sketching, collecting thoughts or simply sitting on a shelf looking brilliant.

For the Home Bar Enthusiast - Drinkware Worth Displaying

For the dad who takes his home bar seriously, two pieces worth knowing about. The Art Deco Diamante Crystal Cocktail Shaker brings genuine glamour to the bar setup, stainless steel with crystal detail and a silver finish that looks as good on display as it does in action. This is not a shaker you hide in a cupboard. It is a shaker you leave out.

And for the whisky lover, our bronze elephant head whisky glasses are among the most striking pieces in the range, hand-finished bronze animal head stems on tulip glass bodies that catch the light and command attention on any bar shelf. Neither piece belongs in a cupboard.
