Father’s Day is undoubtedly one of the hardest holidays to buy gifts for. But as the world faces more uncertainty than ever the notion of celebration – even from afar – is warmly welcomed. In the Sportscraft Father’s Day survey, the menswear brand found that 79 percents of respondents claimed family time was the most important thing in their life. We may not be able to embrace our family or share a Sunday tipple but we can bring joy to those we love most.
Whether the father figure in your life is oceans apart or merely close by, we’ve done the hard work to curate a list of gifts you can buy online or send across the globe. Forewarning: they’re so good you might even gift yourself (go on, you deserve it).
