Judging by most Father’s Day gift guides, dads are only really interested in three things: DIY, drinking, and socks. But we reckon most modern father figures don’t really fit this mould, and would actually like to unwrap something a little less stereotypical – and a little more thoughtful – come June 19.

Whether he’s not much of a drinker, is more into tech than tools, or likes to stay well-groomed, your dad deserves something special.
So, put down that pair of navy socks – and look through this list to find something he actually wants this Father’s Day.

A pair of aviators that’ll make him feel like Maverick
If the return of Maverick has alarmingly got your Dad talking about getting his old bomber jacket out, then distract him with some fabulous Ray-Bans, while you ensure that jacket never sees the light of day. These sunnies are a far more acceptable homage!
