David Hockney: A Graphic Novel (RRP £19.99)

For the creative Dads out there, or those who appreciate iconic art, this is the perfect way to merge their love for the creative with a beautiful reading experience that explores one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Tracing Hockney’s lifelong creativity, from his LA pool paintings to his digital experiments, this vibrant graphic novel captures his spirit of nonconformity, innovation, and artistic brilliance for the ideal springtime read.

ROLI Piano M (RRP £219)

The gift of all gifts for music-loving Dads with an insatiable appetite to pick up new skills, is ROLI’s Piano M – the DuoLingo of the piano world. With three-quarters of Brits unable to play an instrument, yet piano topping the list of ones they’d love to learn, this product is a true game-changer. Featuring glowing mini-keys that light the way, interactive lessons, a growing library of hit songs for all tastes, and even musical games, it turns learning into play, making this a gift that Dad (and the whole family) can enjoy together.

Burnt Faith British Brandy (RRP £34-£42)

This London-founded brandy is the perfect opportunity for discerning, spirit-enthusiastic Dads to explore outside the world of typical spirit notes and discover a bold new take on a classic. As the first brandy distilled in London in 200 years, Burnt Faith blends traditional craftsmanship with fresh innovation, rewriting the rulebook with rich notes of butterscotch and fruit with a luxuriously smooth finish. This gift can be sipped neat after Father’s Day dinner, or shaken into a stand-out cocktail, promising an indulgent drinking experience designed to leave a lasting impression.

Gaucho Cookery School (RRP £130)

There’s steak and there’s wine – what’s not to love? Spoil Dad this Father’s Day with a VIP cooking experience at Gaucho’s Grill Like a Gaucho Cookery School. He’ll master the secrets of marinating, butchering and grilling prime Argentinian cuts, sip award-winning Viña Patricia Malbec from Gaucho’s own vineyard, and learn the traditional techniques still used by South American grill masters today. After a hands-on session packed with flavour, he’ll sit down to enjoy the mouthwatering steaks he’s cooked to perfection – with another steak and marinade to take home to enjoy together.
