What to get for the man who has everything? Or for the man who’d do anything for you? Father’s day is fast approaching, and we all know that we’ll never live it down if the occasion is not marked with every bit as much flare and love as Mother’s day!
According to Parcel2Go, 40% of Britons will spend less than £5 on their Dad’s for their special day this Sunday! When we think of all that Dads do, make sure you take the time out to show your Dad that he is loved and appreciated by getting him a thoughtful gift.
Failing that, apparently 25% of men would choose cake as their favourite baked treat, so you can get your apron at the ready, or you can buy one of these great gifts for your father this sunday.
Best for Grumpy Dads:
JBL Horizon Clock Radio

Start your dad’s day off right by filling the room with JBL stereo sound, enriched with the multi-sensory ambient glow of LED lights. The Horizon features two separate customisable alarms, so dad and mum can both wake up to whatever they like best. There are five programmable FM radio presets, and the Horizon can also stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth phone or tablet. Not only that but this handy piece of tech can even power up dad’s phone or devices by fast charge! Put Dad in a good mood from the moment he wakes up!
Best for Dads on the go:
JBL E40 Bluetooth Headphones
£79.99
If your dad is always up and about then these are the perfect give, just the right size to be really manly in any colour, without being too big, cordless for when he’s on the run around and with impeccable sound for the hard core music buffs.

For the dad that takes his music seriously and likes full, undistorted bass, the E40 BT on-ear stereo headphones are the perfect present. The E40 BT has JBL’s legendary signature sound, with PureBass performance and wireless Bluetooth technology. There’s even built-in ShareMe™ technology that lets you and your dad stream your music wirelessly between another pair of ShareMe-equipped headphones. A built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery gives 16 hours play time, and if your dad’s managed to rock that out until the battery is flat, use the included aux cable for continued, uninterrupted listening.
