Make Dad’s day special with a gift from the iconic department store
Father’s Day is not far away, and many people probably haven’t bought their gifts yet. Shoppers stuck on what to buy might benefit from a department store browse, as there are so many categories under one roof, including options that can be personalised and hampers.
There are very few department stores as iconic as Selfridges. With locations across London, Birmingham and Manchester, it also has an expansive website for consumers who’d prefer to shop in the comfort of their own home.
This Father’s Day, Selfridges has unveiled a special edit dedicated to dad, encompassing fashion, fragrances, tipples and more. Here’s our top picks:
Gifts under £50
Stanley Cup, £40
Designed to fit most car cupholders, this double-walled Stanley Cup is ideal for dads who love to stay hydrated. Particularly those who are gym addicts.
It comes in three subtle shades that dads will like, including black, cream, and rose. This option has a 680-litre capacity and is dishwasher safe. Similarly, this Yeti travel mug (£28) is a cheaper option.
Birkenstock leather sandals, £85
Birkenstock leather sandals are a classic summer staple and return to fashion every year at this time. They’re comfortable and great for holidays and UK heatwaves.
These feature an open round toe, double straps, branded hardware, a signature moulded EVA sole, and an embossed logo on the side.

This Everyday Suburban Stainless-Steel Mug has a 680ml capacity and comes in three colours.
Polo Ralph Lauren socks, £30
It wouldn’t be a Father’s Day gift guide without socks. For the snazzy father, this pack of three Polo Ralph Lauren socks are ribbed and features the designer brand’s classic logo. They’re crew length with ribbed cuffs and come in a mix of colours.
Carhartt T-shirt, £45
This quirky T-shirt from Carhartt would be a great present for a father who loves fashion. It’s made entirely from cotton, so it’s perfect for summer, and it features a cheese-on-toast graphic. This classic white tee has a crew neckline and is lightweight and stretchy.
It’s also worth mentioning other Father’s Day selections from Next, including this Grooming & Fragrance box, priced at £28. It included a mixture of travel and full-sized scents and body washes. Similarly, M&S has a pair of Micro Waffle Mule Slippers with Freshfeet for £24, choose from grey and brown shades.
Splurge options
Axel Arigato trainers, £220
These bone-coloured Axel Arigato trainers are a great addition to dad’s summer wardrobe, and would look effortlessly stylish with linen trousers, shorts and jeans. The leather trainers feature a lace-up fastening, a round toe, a low top, and designer details from the Swedish brand.
Craigellachie whisky, £69.99
Made in Scotland’s Speyside region, this Craigellachie 13-year-old whisky has aromas of oozing toasted marshmallows, fire-roasted pineapples, and baked apples studded with cloves, according to the distillery. It’s described as a robust, muscular whisky with hoards of exotic fruits – a malt that defies the typical Speyside characteristic.
Chanel Bleu De, from £92
Aftershave is another classic Father’s Day gift, and nothing says ‘I made an effort’ quite like buying a loved one a Chanel scent. Chanel Bleu De is an aromatic-woody fragrance with ambery and musky notes.
Choose from three bottle sizes, 50ml, 100ml and 150ml.
Ultimate wine hamper £275
The ultimate wine hamper features 12 bottles including a chianti, malbec, sparkling wine, champagne and prosecco, plus a 23″ wicker basket.
Veuve Clicquot £75.99
This gift features a City Arrow limited-edition Brut NV 750ml champagne with personalised tin. The French champagne is made with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier grape varieties.
Buyers then have up to 18 characters to add a name or message on the front of the tin.
Prospective buyers new to Selfridges can find reviews and ratings of its customer service and quality on Trustpilot, where one person commented: “I recently ordered a pair of Adidas Montreal Trainers on 22/4/26, which were reasonably priced and delivered 3 days later on 25/4/26 with no real issues. Overall, a quality retailer. Would use again.”
Another consumer added: “I’ve always had a great experience with Selfridges. Orders and returns are super efficient and easy. I pay the annual shipping subscription, which is good value, as shipping can otherwise be expensive. Customer services are both easy to reach and helpful. The range of clothes stocked is excellent.”
However, a reviewer knocked a star off their review due to delivery delays, stating: “Ordered online, good service overall, slower than expected delivery, but great product when it arrived. Also shop in-store.”
Another buyer was very pleased though, saying: “Today I had one delivered, and it was packed so well, all wrapped in tissue, and the chocolates carefully wrapped so they don’t get damaged.”
A final person penned: “I got great prices for shopping last week, loads of things on sale. Check out their clearance section.”
