Has anyone else forgotten Father’s Day this year? Just me? Oops.
September 6 has crept up quickly this year, and I’ve found myself without a gift for dad. If you’re in a similar predicament, I have a few last-minute gift ideas from retailers who promise same-day or next-day delivery.
So, whether you’re buying for your dad, stepdad, grandpa or the Jay Pritchett in your life (stoic, stylish, low-key sentimental), these gift ideas will help you spoil the man in your life.
WHO’s top Father’s Day gift ideas

The best Father’s Day gifts to get last-minute
Ah yes — the classic “don’t get me anything” dad. But we both know he deserves something better than socks (again).
Think small luxuries or subtle upgrades: a sleek car diffuser that makes his commute feel a little more luxe, or a coffee machine that gives him barista vibes without ever leaving the house.
You could also tap into his love of data with a WHOOP MG, or go with a shiny new suitcase for his next vacation.
Running out of time? No stress — last-minute Father’s Day gifts can still feel thoughtful and totally on point. The key is to grab something that’s instantly useful or indulgent, so it doesn’t feel like you just dashed to the shops.
Think essentials, like his favourite coffee pods (or new ones) or a stylish yet comfy robe for those laid-back mornings. Digital gifts like a GroupTogether card are also perfect for when you need to rally the family quickly but still make it thoughtful.
