With Father’s Day imminent, you may worry you haven’t left enough time to pick up a present.
If you want to let dad know how much you love him but you still haven’t found the right gift, don’t panic: you’re not alone. Research from money.co.uk reveals that almost a fifth of Brits (16 per cent) are undecided as to what they’re treating their dad to this Father’s Day.
It’s not too late though to buy your dad a subscription, however, a gift that gives and gives.
The gift of a subscription service - be it for monthly beer deliveries, a regular supply of bread, or razor for shaving- is a wonderful way of providing a jolt of joy to a father’s life on a regular basis.
In our experience, as well, most good subscription services will ensure the contents of their boxes are worth more than your outlay, so you will come out better off than paying for individual items.
Here’s some of the best you can buy right now.
Best for: a smooth shave
A gorgeous for any man who shaves regularly (or irregularly, come to that).
Your first delivery will come with a safety razor, brush, and tips on a close, clean shave. After that, each 4-6 weeks you’ll receive ten blades, shaving cream or calm, and two extra shaving related products.
A perfect means of introducing traditional shaving into your life - and a little luxury to something that can seem like an obligation.
Best for: tech fiends
Swoon at new tech releases? The Gadget Discovery Club will have your heart aflutter.
Each month a new, state of the art bit of kit will arrive, from smart home devices, to music smart tech, wearables, and more. Reliable brands like Google, Philips and Samsung provide the gear.
You don’t have to be super savvy, though - on sign-up, you’ll be asked for your level of interest, from ‘not that tech savvy,’ up to ‘gadget geek’, by way of ‘frequent gadget user.’ This way your goodies will be tailored to match your interest. Chose from a monthly subscription, or a full-year plan.
