◍ Birthday gifts for dad: Our top 5 best buys 

Gifts for dads or buying presents for granddads can be tricky especially when they have everything already or if they are fussy about what they like! Dads and granddads also do not hint if they want anything either, which makes it that little bit more of a challenge to find out what they like, what they might need or what would make them smile.

Gifting however is the opportunity to delve a little deeper and spend time thinking about our dear dads and granddads, their personalities, their interests, their hobbies, their passions all of these add up to give you some sort of inspiration into ideally what gift would suit them. It is worth spending that bit of time as dads and granddads have spent time and effort in to bringing us up, being there for us, being our shoulder to cry and our support system for when life brings us down.

As Pam Brown quotes "Dads are most ordinary men turned into heroes." And it is for that reason and probably many more that they deserve that time you put in thinking about the perfect gift for them. For example, is your dad a granddad interested in sports like football, cricket, golf, darts, boules or is your dad or granddad passionate about rock or indie music and is a little bit edgy, cool and young at heart? Once YOU have a bit of clear picture you can match these interests and attributes to the perfect gift.

Our team at DEMI+CO have put together a few ideas on what we think would make great gifts for dads from all walks of life, new dads, experienced dads to granddads, whether its his birthday, a gift for Father’s Day or a present for Christmas.

Wondering why to buy from us? Our sourcing manager explains “We go to great lengths here at DEMI+CO to ensure we have a large variety of styles, materials and finishes with our men’s range.

Choose wisely and you will be giving a bracelet to your dad or granddad that they will cherish forever, men’s jewellery and bracelets can be the touching, masculine and endearing gift that they can keep with them every day. Dad’s might not get as much attention as our mums do but they are still very much an important part of the family. As author Justin Ricklefs quotes "The power of a dad in a child's life is unmatched." They are the ones to pick up the pieces, they are the ones to guide us through life and all their ups and downs. Dads and granddads also provide that support that no one else really can as Linda Poindexter quotes “When my father didn’t have my hand, he had my back.” Dads and granddads are the ones that are with you for your whole journey and are important not just when you are small but are as an adult and as you go on forward with your own journey their support is just as important. One very heart-warming quote from Liza Minnelli explains "I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future." Such a heartfelt quote and so apt and we hope your dad or granddad enjoys his special day.
