From spiffy horology-inspired cufflinks to a Nespresso machine and stylish Burberry kicks, here’s a nifty guide of gifts to get for your dad.

While it’s only natural to shower our mothers with an intense flurry of love, considering they gave birth to us, that’s not to say that we should leave dear old dads on the back burner. And that is why we have Father’s Day to remind everyone that fathers deserve equal parts of that heartwarming love to0 – even if they’re bashful about grandiose displays of affection.

It goes without saying that fathers will always take the prime position of being the best man in your lives or as the strong silent anchor who’ll dutifully be there to reign you back in. Hence to celebrate the most important man, we’ve rounded up a range of items that would put a smile on their face – no matter what kind of dad he is. Whether he’s the sartorially savvy, suit and tie kind of guy, the geeky Star Wars-loving adult or the dad who’s a gadget fanatic, our gift guide would suffice perfectly.

Remember to give your old man a tight hug while you’re at it too!
