Christmas presents for dads that aren’t just socks or aftershave

Treat dad to his own keg machine with the Philips PerfectDraft Machine and Glassware Bundle that's designed to enjoy draft beer at home, whilst keeping it chilled to 3 degrees. He will love you forever, guaranteed.

This classic Rugby Knit Polo from Ben Sherman will fast become his favourite. It's made using 100% boiled wool and we love the contrasting mustard and navy hues that keep it timeless and very wearable. A great gift for dads who like to look their best.

Spare their partner from getting up early on Sunday and keep everyone happy with this genius invention - the Dual Omelette Maker will cook them both two omelettes within minutes, and the nifty non-stick plate means easy cleaning, too!

Give some cool points, as well as a kickin' drink, with this whisky from Rod Stewart.

If he's the sort of fella who listens to his music and podcasts on a calm leisurely stroll, or when he's kicking his feet up at home, then he'll love a pair of Sony Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones. Plus, the noise cancelling technology will drown out any chaos that's going on in the background when he wants a bit of peace and quiet.

You can't go wrong with a Cartwright & Butler hamper and this Bolton Abbey hamper screams luxury. If you don't think this will be a hit, they have loads to choose from - sweet, savoury, one for the alcohol-lovers. Just take your pick from loads of hampers, all that'll help them unwind in the evening.

Not everyone has a smart TV and, let's be honest, using a Chromecast - getting the app onto your phone, loading up your fave show etc etc - is just a bit of a faff. Enter the Roku Express. It's a tiny (about 7cm long) little device that sits alongside your TV and allows you to watch all your usual streaming channels - Netflix, Prime and the rest - at the click of a button. Unlike a Chromecast device, you can watch live TV on iPlayer and All4 without having to mirror your whole screen and the equally tiny remote is sleek and uncomplicated (for the not-so-tech-savvy dad...). Plus, at less than £25 it's about half the price of a Chromecast, so it's practically a no-brainer.

If he loves a glass of whisky to round off the evening, then he'll really appreciate this On The Rocks Whisky Set from Firebox. It looks super premium, is a bestseller on the site and comes with copper tongs, whisky stones, rolling tumblers and a velvet pouch all housed in a luxury gift box. Need we say more?

Keeping score of all your culinary masterpieces can be a nightmare - you're either a scrap of paper with the measurements sort of person or you're the fumbling cook who memorises everything only to be left stressing whether it was one or two teaspoons of paprika... Enter the Moleskine Recipe Journal, a.k.a. the perfect gift for scatterbrain chef dads. With its organised two-page-per-recipe layout, buyers will be given the space to write out cooking temps, ingredients and even the difficulty of the recipe. Don't let dad's signature chilli fall by the wayside - document it!

Obviously, if they love a beer then the Brewdog Craft Beer Gift Pack will give them the opportunity to kick back and crack open a cold one. They'll be able to sample some of the beer giant's finest, from IPAs to pale ales and more. Not to mention, the 'best dad' is a nice touch that'll earn you extra brownie points.

Coming to the rescue with all of the shaving and skincare supplies they could need, the Classic Gentleman's Shaving Kit gets rid of their five o' clock shadow while nourishing their skin. It comes with luxury razors, shaving brushes, soaps, moisturiser and exfoliator that they can incorporate into their weekly routine. Get them a leather washbag to keep their favourites in and they're good to go.

If your dad knows his way around a fretboard, but his guitar still lives in his wardrobe or something of that nature, get him a case to store it in. If he's out and about for a jam session, he'll be able to take his guitar with him without the fear of it getting damaged. Another great idea is a guitar stand to put his pride and joy on display.

If he loves nothing more than getting out there and getting stuck into an experience, this Especially For Him Gift Box from Red Letter Days will bring a smile to your pa's face on Christmas morning. You can't go wrong with a multi-choice ticket to a bunch of different experiences, with the voucher staying valid for up to 24 months. Whether it's an adrenaline rush with a supercar drive, a delicious lunch or evening meal, or a cocktail masterclass, why not spoil him for Christmas?

One that will give him a good laugh, the DIY Dad Personalised Tool Bag is perfect for dads who love fixing things up around the house. If he's known as 'Mr. Fix It' or the catchphrase around the house is 'Dad will fix it', then you're onto a winner with this.

However, if he's more of the laidback type then you can't go wrong with a pair of cosy slippers, and M&S do them best, obviously. We could see these Suede Slippers on just about any dad. Lined with faux fur to be supremely warm, they come in a few different colourways to match their PJs.

Whether it's his step count or his Saturday Park Run, the Garmin Forerunner 55 is a great gift to give dad's weekly exercise some added oomph. If you're worried about his technological capabilities, fret not. The Forerunner is very user-friendly and, after just 30 minutes of playing about with the features (probably in a Xmas day turkey coma), you'll have found your feet with the functionality. It really is the device for everyone with the ability to track runs, swims and even sleep. Plus, with its suggested workout function, the watch will even help you decide how to exercise next based on your previous excursions. Pretty nifty, right?

If he's the wrap-up warm type and will do anything to avoid putting the heating on at all costs, a Sheared Fleece Robe is a natural choice to keep him cosy during the winter time. It's got a velvety soft feel, so a fab post-shower bathroom robe or a lounge robe when they're having a chill day on the couch.

We can't imagine a more scrumptious present to place under the tree this year, to be honest. Unwinding over the festive season with a selection of seven great varieties of cheese? Yes, please. If your dad's big on cheese for a tasty treat, he'll love this Rainbow Cheese Gift Box.

One for dads everywhere, we all know how they love their Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. With a sweet, fruity taste with notes of pear, butterscotch, cream and oak. They'll love nothing more than unwinding over the Christmas break with a glass of their favourite whisky.

For showing off their 'dad music' vinyl collection, this Wooden Vinyl Record Flip Rack will do the trick. If they've got nowhere to store their vinyls and they're either, A) in a pile taking up space on the floor or B) collecting dust in the attic, a vinyl rack is a great alternative. Just remember, they need a vinyl player to play them on though.

If gin is your dad's drink of choice, the latest limited edition Beefeater Gin is sure to impress. Created in collaboration with London based artist, Rachel Joy, it's made up of nine botanicals that bring unique flavours to enjoy. Bag extra brownie points by engraving it, adding a personalised gift tag or adding a gift bag, too.

Every dad thinks they're a comedian, so the Embarrassing Dad Joke Book would make a fitting gift for any comic. The only thing is though - do be prepared to hear absolutely awful jokes for the rest of the year. At least dad will get a laugh out of it right?

Last but most certainly not least, we have the Jabra Elite 7 Active wireless earphones, a.k.a. the most sweat-resistant buds we've tried and, we can confirm, no matter how hard dad's running, cycling or working out, these bad boys will not fall out. It really is quite a technological feat and, with noise cancelling in buds no bigger than your thumbnail, the hassle of over-ear headphones will feel like it's just a distant memory. Plus, if you're travelling, the handy case offers 30 hours worth of battery for the buds (8 hours on their own), so you can say goodbye to panicked recharging, too.
