Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re still wondering what to get the man who insists he “doesn’t need anything” we have you covered. We all know that dad, he’ll say, “ah sure don’t be bothering” and then spend the entire summer showing off whatever you got him to anyone who’ll listen. The truth is that dads are brilliant at giving and hopeless at asking so this is the one day of the year to get it right. Whether he’s happiest at the grill, pottering in the garden, or tinkering away in the shed, you’ll find something with his name on it at Stakelums Home & Hardware from sizzling BBQs to smart gadgets, here’s what’s trending in our Father’s Day Gift Ideas collection right now.
5 Things to Gift Your Dad This Father’s Day
We’ve rounded up five gifts that dads across Ireland are loving this year. No socks, no novelty mugs just things he’ll genuinely use.
1. BBQ Gifts for Dad
Nothing says summer like Dad at the grill, tongs in hand. Every dad has a grilling style the big question is charcoal or gas. The Weber Master-Touch GBS Charcoal BBQ is a firm favourite for traditionalists who swear by that charcoal flavour, while the Sahara 3 Burner Roaster BBQ makes gas grilling effortless for the whole family. On a smaller budget, the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter Set is the clever accessory every charcoal griller wishes they’d bought years ago. Add a set of BBQ tools or a cover from our BBQ accessories range, and he’s set for the season. Rain or shine and let’s face it, in Ireland it’ll be both he’ll find an excuse to fire it up.
2. Pizza Oven for the Weekend Chef
Homemade pizza nights have officially taken over Irish gardens and Ooni pizza ovens are leading the charge. The Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven cooks restaurant-quality pizza in about 60 seconds, so Dad gets to play head chef all summer long. If he likes feeding a crowd, the larger Ooni Koda 16 is the one to go for. Trust us once he masters his first margherita, there’s no going back to the oven inside.
3. Firepit for Long Garden Evenings
If Dad’s happiest outdoors with a drink in hand, a firepit is the gift that keeps the evening going. The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is famous for its smokeless design, while the La Hacienda Brooklyn Firepit makes a serious style statement on any patio. Pair either with a YETI cooler or the drinks stay ice cold until the last ember. Smokeless designs mean no more musical chairs every time the wind changes direction. Just pull up a seat and let Dad hold court by the fire.
4. Smartwatch to Keep Him Moving
For the dad who loves a challenge, a fitness tracker is a gift he’ll wear every single day. The Fitbit Versa 4 Smartwatch tracks workouts, sleep and heart health, while the slimmer Fitbit Charge 6 keeps things simple. Whether he’s into his morning walks, weekend cycles, or just wants to keep an eye on his heart rate, there’s a tracker to suit both come with long battery life, so there’s no fussing with chargers every night. It’s one of those gifts that quietly looks after his health all year round which, let’s be honest, is the real present. Fair warning though you’ll never hear the end of his step streak.
5. Tools & Workwear for the Shed Dweller
Some dads are simply happiest in the shed, and quality gear is the way to their heart. When it comes to Father’s Day tool gifts, you can’t beat the brands tradesmen trust. Snickers workwear is a firm favourite, with the 6241 Allround Stretch Trousers loved for comfort and durability on the job and off it.
For smaller DIY gifts, you can’t go wrong with a Stanley Trade Knife in Holster or the Faithfull Hi-Vis Folding Utility Knife the kind of pocket essentials he’ll use every single week. And if his toolbox could do with a proper upgrade, browse our full range of hand tools and power tools from names like DeWalt, Makita and Stanley. One thing’s guaranteed is give a shed dad good tools, and you’ll be hearing about “the great little knife you got him” for years.
