With Father’s Day just around the corner (Sunday, June 18, lest you go Google!), this year Boots is celebrating all different types of fathers and father figures with their products. love to all fathers Activity.
They have a huge selection of Father’s Day gifts at boots.com and to show you some of them (and give you some gift inspiration) I thought I’d pick gifts for some of the most famous dads the world has ever known :
Father Time, Godfather and… Santa Claus.
Don’t say I never gave you anything. start.
father time
I admit that I know very little about Father Time. I had to do some in-depth research on him before deciding on what would be an appropriate gift. I’ve read that he’s often portrayed as an old man with a beard, so this does lead to some dilemmas: who appreciates a beard trimmer more? Christmas or time? Then I found out that Father Time sometimes has wings, and I thought maybe smoothing his feathers with something might be a good shout out; he also carries a scythe – a bit antisocial – so I wondered a bit about colored hair Whether the agent (pink maybe) would make him seem less menacing and more approachable.
but not. I didn’t want to get too obsessed with his Father’s Day gifts and chose what he had to return. Even if he did have all the time in the world, he didn’t want to waste it going back and forth to the post office with all the unwanted stuff I sent him. The little bag of pink hair dye, or—and here’s another thought I had—the messenger bag to safely carry the hourglass and clock he had to carry with him—would have to go to the scrap heap.
In the end, I picked something I knew he’d appreciate — anyone who’s lived more than two decades would welcome this on their bathroom shelf, and he’s lived, well, forever. It’s No7 Men Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum, specially formulated to fight deep lines and wrinkles. No7 serums are known for delivering anti-aging benefits, and this one is no exception. Spreads quickly and easily under any moisturizer or sunscreen and is the ultimate fuss-free, high-impact addition to any skincare routine. If you can convince him to buy one… Boots costs £24.95.
godfather
Did you know that Boots has a range of events and experiences available for purchase as gifts? Everything from supercar driving to airplane lessons, helicopter rides to skeet shooting. No one in their right mind would believe that Don Corleone owned a real gun, so clay pigeon shooting is out, but I think paintball might be a suitable (and safe) alternative. The Godfather and his three friends can pick a convenient paintball spot and shoot each other to their heart’s content, knowing they won’t start a mob war in New York.
I think there’s a gift of experience for just about every type of dad on the Boots website. This is definitely an event supermarket. So you can be nice and buy something the recipient will actually love (maybe a relaxing afternoon tea if that’s their jam), or you can actually sew them up and buy them a An experience fit for the most extreme adrenaline junkies. this is your choice.
£20 for four-player paintball at Boots.com
Santa Claus
I don’t think anyone would buy Santa a beard trimmer before. That’s a bit presumptuous, right? We all know he likes to keep his hair long and shaggy for the holidays. But—aha! What about the time in between? Do you really think he wants to drive this monster 365 days a year?
The Philips Series 9000 Prestige Beard Trimmer with Steel Precision Technology and BeardAdapt Sensor goes one step further. Now look: This is no ordinary beard trimmer. It’s like the Rolls Royce of beard trimmers. Sleek, steel, and heavy in the hand. Just sliding it out of the suitcase is a sensual experience that is quite enjoyable, even for me and me without a beard. a lot of.
Here’s what Santa needs from December 26th through fall. Trim it all off. He’ll find that, thanks to the annual trim, his beard will be more shapely and voluminous the following Christmas.
But this isn’t a trimmer just for Santa: mortals can witness the stylish prowess of the 9000 Prestige, too. Boots is £109.99 – for all the boys who are really, really good.
(If you’re looking for something other than a razor, this “Gifts for Him” page rounds up the options, from skincare to aftershave and more.)
That’s what three of the most famous fathers looked after. But what about all the other dads? Where to start?
Honestly, I’m exhausted from these thoughts, but I have one extra recommendation for all the stylish dads out there: Gucci Guilty Pour Homme.Specifically Eau de Parfum.
This fragrance is so chic and sexy. The fragrance is somewhat arresting—it has a definite “if Batman wore fragrance” vibe—and the fragrance itself is warm, woody, and manageably exotic. It’s popular with the masses, but in a terribly sophisticated way – who wouldn’t want something luxurious and stylish from the House of Gucci? Dad, dad is so cool.
Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Parfum £83.30 at Boots.

Ok, I’ll stop here. There is a real risk that some of my gift ideas could backfire.I want to declare right now: I can’t be chained completely If Santa shows up clean-shaven on Christmas 2023, we’re responsible for…
