FOR THE COFFEE LOVER
A coffee bean subscription is a great way for dads to taste coffee from all over the world. Our pick is the coffee subscription from SilverSkin coffee roasters, a local roastery based in Dublin 10 which is one of the best in the biz. You can choose between single-origin or house blend, the number of months subscription, and even your grind size, so you have the perfect cuppa every time!
FOR THE OCEAN LOVER
Did you know there’s actually a term for people who love the ocean? A thalassophile is a person who is magnetically attracted to the ocean and the sea! If your dad is the adventurous type who loves nothing more than a dip in the ocean, we’ve got just the thing! This long sleeve rash vest from OceanR is stylish, lightweight and made using eco-friendly materials.
FOR THE MUSIC LOVER
There’s so much to music, it makes gifting a little overwhelming sometimes. A gift voucher from MusicMaker is just what you need so dad can choose from a huge selection of musical instruments, speakers, headphones and more. Operating since 1981 in Dublin, these guys know all there is to know about music, so you don’t have to!
