It’s not long until Father’s Day - Sunday, June 15, in case you haven’t heard - which means time is running out to ace your gift this year.
Don’t even think about getting him yet another pair of socks or a set of cufflinks. Doesn’t the man deserve a richer reward for being your pun machine/emergency cabbie/ DIY expert?
If inspiration is lacking, there’s no need to fret, or worse, panic-buy something he’ll just wind up sticking on a high shelf. Here at ES Best Shopping, we know the one, singular, ultimate thing that he’s guaranteed to love: a great hamper.
It’s easy to see the appeal. A massive box packed with delicious treats? Surely something that’s welcomed with open arms. Even the staunchest of don’t-get-me-anything dads will weaken at the sight of a honey-hued box stacked with things like artisan ale, whiffy cheeses, spicy chutneys, handmade chocolate and more.
These heaving boxes can be delivered straight to his door, so there’s no need to pull a muscle lugging it over there yourself. Just make sure you’re there when it’s time to open the gift to bask in (deserved) favourite child glory. Plus, we’re sure there’ll be more than enough to share.
Best of all, there’s a humungous selection of curated hampers on offer, from independent sellers to luxury brands. Crucially, there are options from the affordable to the outlandish, so you can decide how big a splash you want to make for the old man this year.
