Looking for the perfect gift for your dad? Look no further than Otter!
Father’s Day this year is on Sunday, June 15th. It’s a day to spoil your Dad and remind him how much he’s loved. But let’s be honest, it can be a challenge to find a great gift. So we’re here to help you with some cracking ideas, available at an Otter Garden Centre near you.
First of all, you need to think about what it is that your Dad really enjoys…
Gardening Dad
Lots of dads appreciate getting outdoors in the garden. As well as relaxing, many like to be busy with gardening jobs. So you could treat your Dad to must-have garden tools – perhaps pruners, cutters or edgers. Or how about some premium gardening gloves made from high quality leather? Maybe make their life a little easier with a smart new hose cart.
You could also gift a plant – something with a slightly ‘Dad’ feel like a chilli plant, a rose with a relevant name, or an indoor plant such as a Bonsai or Monstera. For a more personal touch, choose a rustic outdoor planter and make it extra special by planting it up in your Dad’s favourite colours.
BBQ Dad
It’s no secret that firing up the BBQ is a job that many dads love! We have lots of top notch BBQs and accessories to choose from. Our range of BBQs is second to none, from smaller portable BBQs like the ‘Go Anywhere’ charcoal BBQ through to 4 burner gas BBQs. If your dad has a BBQ already, treat them to a stylish new BBQ cover, a set of tools, pizza stone – or a novelty BBQ apron.
Dapper Dad
Many of our garden centres have clothing and chic accessories ideal for a dad. Depending on the centre, you might find high quality brands including Timberland, Barbour, Weird Fish and Seasalt, with t-shirts, jackets and baseball caps just some of the options. And when didn’t a dad need new socks? Our range includes rugged walking socks all the way through to chic patterned bamboo socks.
If you’re looking for something other than clothing, we also stock leather goods such as wallets plus smellies including masculine eau de toilette.
Beverage Dad
Does your dad need an elegant glass for their favourite snifter? Or could you go even more upmarket with a classy glass set including accessories such as a coaster and miniature tongs for ice cubes? What about a new mug showing one of their favourite hobbies, animals or a slogan to make them smile – Best Dad Ever!
If your dad relishes a relaxing tipple you’ll find some unusual choices in our Ottery St Mary garden centre, where Diddly Squat Hawkstone premium lager brewed from hops grown on Jeremy Clarkson’s farm (serving suggestion: serve with Diddly Squat hand-cooked crisps!). There are also various local brews and beers with humorous sayings available, so you’re bound to find something your Dad will enjoy.
