The only thing harder than shopping for someone that already has everything is trying to find a unique Father’s Day gift when Dad hasn’t dropped any hints.

Giving your old man the perfect present on his special day not only shows him how much he’s loved, it can also set you up for 12 months of being in Dad’s good books.

But how do you narrow down your options? Depending on what type of Dad you have, we’ve come up with a few gift ideas for Father’s Day.

Clean-freak Dad

Let’s face it – as much as some fathers like to take their adventures to the extreme outdoors, others prefer to make the family home their domain.

He might already have a state-of-the-art washing machine – or perhaps one is a little out of your price range – but there are plenty of other options when it comes to giving Dad a gift that will help keep the house spotless.

If a fridge or dishwasher doesn’t seem like his style, then why not try something a little more portable, like a vacuum cleaner?

Luckily, Dyson are getting you in the mood for celebrating the important man in your life by offering customers the opportunity to cash in on some unique deals.

Until September 2, a bonus docking station is available with the purchase of a DC34 or DC34 Animal handheld vacuum cleaner, while a turbine head free comes with every DC29 Multi Floor sold.

But the home isn’t the only thing that dad might like to keep clean – fathers take pride in keeping their cars looking as good as their homes will no doubt love the car cleaning kit that comes free with the DC33 multi floor model.

Host-with-the-most Dad

From slow cookers and deep fryers to patio heaters and wine fridges, every little kitchen gadget and accessory can help Dad entertain his guests to the highest of standards.

Food preparation is often the hardest part of hosting an event, so if your Dad likes to whip up dinner or make party plans on a regular basis, then small appliances like rice cookers, stick blenders and steamers could hit the spot.

These nifty time-saving tools help take the stress out of getting dishes on the table, as well as making sure that food is cooked correctly every time.
