a millen-gordon guide to… gifting this father’s day
As far as Dad’s go, I’ve got pretty lucky. Which is why I always try to make an effort on Father’s Day.
If you find yourself wanting to do the same, here’s my guide to gifting on Sunday 19th June.
Whether your Dad likes gadgets and gizmos or fashion, fragrance and travel, fingers crossed there’s a Father’s Day gift that he’ll love below…
THE FRAGRANCE
When it comes to men’s fragrance, you can’t go wrong with Hugo Boss. With that in mind, BOSS Bottled Marine instantly came to mind. Presented in the signature BOSS Bottled glass bottle, it’s a cool, marine-inspired fragrance that’s guaranteed to please.
THE OVERSHIRT
When it comes to men’s fashion, you can’t go wrong with Canali. Combining exceptional quality with effortless style, this over shirt would suit even the most fashion-averse fathers out there!
THE SWEATER
If your Dad happens to have expensive taste, this cashmere sweater from Loro Piana ticks all the boxes. Comfort. Style. Quality. Timeless. It’s the perfect sweater for those inimitable Dad hugs!
THE TRAVEL BAG
This wax holdall from Barbour is perfect for a Dad on the go! Even better for a Dad on the go who happens to love a country side aesthetic!
THE GROOMING KIT
I first came across Bamford at Daylesford’s Farm and instantly fell in love with their ethos. When it came to sourcing Father’s Day grooming kits therefore, they instantly came to mind. Whilst I haven’t actually smelt the mens range yet, if their women’s range is anything to go by, this set will be up there with the very best.
THE GADGET
I definitely take after my Dad when it comes to appreciating gadgets and one of my favourites (and Dad’s too!) is our Sonos sound system. If your Dad happens to love music or just appreciates good sound (!) any gadget from Sonos will make his day.
THE TRAINER
When it comes to shopping for men, you can’t go wrong with a pair of trainers right? Which is why this pair of low tops from Reiss had to make the list. Simple, stylish and effortlessly cool, they’ve definitely got my seal of approval!
THE ROBE
I won’t lie, gifting dressing gowns is one of my favourite things to do because they really do provide little moments of luxury. With that in mind, this unisex hooded robe from The White Company was a no brainer. The ultimate accessory for chilling out, it’s a great reminder for your Dad to put his feet up!
THE FRAMES
The ultimate accessory for Daddy Cools, these Reiss sunglasses are up there with some of the best this summer. Available in black, tortoiseshell and grey, your Dad will score some serious fashion points with these on!
SHOP MY FATHER’S DAY EDIT
Whether you’re spending it with your Dad or catching up with him later, I hope you enjoy celebrating Father’s Day all the same!

The Autumn Equinox has arrived and as the nights draw in there’s so many opportunities to reconnect with nature.
Hosting a very special breakfast for my girls in honour of @princestrust and @thebrilliantbreakfast to raise money to help young women turn their lives around through work, education and training. A donation of £5 can enable a woman to simply travel to an interview which could go on to change her life forever so I would absolutely love it if you would join me in hosting your own Brilliant Breakfast between the 9th and 15th October, whether it’s simply coffee with a close friend, or encouraging your entire office to get involved, the funds raised will go towards helping young women, aged 11-30 create better futures for themselves.
And thank you to my angel @hello.petal.flowers for giving her time and creative flare to bring my vision for the breakfast to life, of course you don’t have to go with florals like me, but if that’s something you enjoy this is the perfect opportunity to throw a lovely breakfast with your girlfriends with a cause that will help so many other women, front and centre!
