Plymouth Gin (typical price: £26)

41.2% ABV

Made in England

Made with seven botanicals

We like:We don't like: 

If your dad is into slinging cocktails, a good bottle of gin is a must-have for every home bar. Since it's a base spirit for many mixed drinks, Plymouth Gin could be added to martinis, negronis, gimlets or a good old G&T.

The bottle is often discounted – we've seen it go for £17. At the time of writing, some retailers like Amazon are offering it with a gift box for an extra £1.

Wireless Bluetooth speaker

Two 7W speakers

We like:We don't like: 

This tiny, pencil case-sized speaker is a great gift that's ideal for picnics or open gardens as it's easily portable but the sound isn't the loudest. Lenrue claims that this speaker has 20 hours of battery life, although we found differing results in our testing.

Amazon Fire 7 Tablet (typical price: £49.99)

2GB Ram

16GB storage (9.9GB after software installed)

600 x 1024 resolution

We like:We don't like: 

While it's not the newest tablet from Amazon, it is the least expensive option and it's worth considering if your dad is a voracious reader. If you pay for Amazon Prime, this tablet has a lot of features that work well with it.

As it's 600 x 1024, it's not quite full HD – although that shouldn't be too much of an issue since the screen is only seven inches big.

Kally Sleep Adjustable Pillow (typical price: £49.99)

Hypoallergenic pillow

Removable and washable case

Comes with a carry bag

We like:We don't like: 

The pillow is made of hypoallergenic hollowfibre, which makes for a soft pillow. If your dad needs more neck support, he's able to adjust the firmness to suit his preferences by adding or removing the inner pillows that can fit inside the case.

Father's Day gifts for under £100

SoundCore Space A40 (typical price: £67.49)

Wireless Bluetooth headphones

Three levels of noise cancelling

Fast-charging case

We like:We don't like: 

Sometimes, the best gift we can give our dads is a little piece and quiet. Luckily, with a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds the rest of your family can carry on as normal. These wireless headphones from Anker are a great idea for dads who love listening to music or podcasts, or who need a commuting companion.

These tiny earbuds have a lot of features, and Anker claims that they can last up to 10 hours on a single charge – which can be expanded to 50 when using the case, depending on noise-cancelling use.

Field of view at 1,000 metres: 143m

Close focusing distance of four metres

We like:We don't like: 

If your dad loves birdwatching, a pair of binoculars could be a thoughtful gift. These binoculars from Olympus are great for those who don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on a pair, and who want a pair that are sturdy, albeit a bit bulky.

Cooks Professional Retro G4535 espresso maker (typical price: £85)

Manual espresso machine

1.2-litre water tank

Makes one espresso at a time

We like:We don't like: 

Using the milk frother, your dad can make lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites with this affordable coffee machine. It's compact enough to fit into any kitchen, but still boasts a 1.2-litre water tank that won't need refilling as often as other machines.

You can only use pre-ground coffee to make one espresso at a time, and you'll need to buy a jug to steam your milk in separately.

Argos American Style Charcoal Barbeque (typical price: £135)

Charcoal barbeque

138 x 103 x 99cm (height x width x depth)

22.6kg

We like:We don't like: 

If your dad is getting ready for a summer of grilling, this American-style barbeque from Argos is a great entry-level model that offers your dad a lot of flexibility. It's fuelled by charcoal and the pan can be adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of direct heat you're applying to the food being cooked or smoked. There's a bottle opener built-in, too – which we thought was a nice touch.

Bestway Hydro Force Aqua Glider inflatable paddleboard (typical price: £159)

10 feet, six inches long

Backpack with everything weighs 9.6kg

Weight capacity: 110kg

We like:We don't like: 

An inflatable paddleboard is one of summer's hottest tickets and this option comes with a pump, carry bag and paddle. It can hold up to 110kg, so you probably won't be joining your dad on it, unfortunately.

Pro-Ject Primary E turntable (typical price: £199)

Belt-driven turntable

Pre-fitted Ortofon OM 1S cartridge

Pre-amp needed, but sold separately

We like:We don't like: 

While it seems a bit antiquated to be listening to physical music in 2023, records are back in fashion. New releases are pressed every week and – according to the BBC – records outsold CDs in 2022. If your dad collects vinyl or is looking to dust off his old collection, this is a fantastic gift to consider. 

It's entirely manual though, which might be tricky since you'll have to adjust the belt to change speeds from 33 & 1/3rpm to 45rpm. You'll also need to get a separate phono pre-amp in order to start listening.
