If your dad loves to cook, treat him to this hardcover recipe journal that he can add all the family’s favourites to.

Grow Olive Trees Together

In Greece, there’s a tradition to plant an olive tree when a child is born. That way, the tree and the child grow up together (and olive trees can live for decades)!

Buy your dad a set of these Bambalina olive tree plants so he can grow them alongside the youngest members of the family. This incredibly adaptable tree species will grow steadily and can cope with intense sunlight, frost and only a little water – easy! The Bambalina variety is compact and especially good for cultivating a hedge.

Learn to Blacksmith

A truly unique father-and-son gift! There are various venues around the country that offer wonderful day-long experiences and the opportunity for fathers and their kids to learn the skill of blacksmithing. Dad and his little guy can hammer out a range of tools that they’ll take home and cherish forever.

Here are some suggestions of venues:
