The best thing is that this Father’s Day gift guide does not have a pair of socks or a novelty t-shirt in sight. Instead, it’s not even a top 10, but an inspiring top 13 gift guide, filled with ideas that will finally make dad smile as he opens them, and more importantly use them, rather than be banished to a cupboard and lost in eternity forever.

It’s time to think ‘quirky’ this Father’s Day, and buy a gift that is worth gifting and worth keeping.
