For the Dad Who Is Young At Heart
The dad who is young at heart is the father figure that you can have a laugh with no matter what. He's the kind of dad that feels more like a best friend that you can confide in while also harbouring the key characteristics of a paternal figure. They give cracking advice and show you a great deal of emotional support, but they can also take the mickey out of you better than anyone else in your life. Fortunately, there are countless options that would make the perfect Father's Day gift for the hip dad from novelty gifts to a fun experience like paintball or an adventure room, but you can't go wrong with a classic men’s bracelet or necklace.
A woven leather bracelet offers a very edgy and somewhat masculine feel that is both stylish and versatile, a chain-style silver bracelet, on the other hand, is a timeless momentum that your dad can rock on practically any occasion. Alternatively, a classic curb-style gold chain would make the perfect addition to your dad's jewellery collection.

For The Dad Who Enjoys Being By The Water
Whether they’re a skilled surfer, sailor, scuba diving guru, keen fisherman or simply marine life enthusiasts, some people are just half-human, half-fish and therefore just like to spend pretty much every waking moment in the ocean and in the surf. And as anyone that dabbles in aquatic sports will tell you, water and valuables do not tend to mix very well. That is unless you have a water-resistant watch or even better, a diving watch. With the ability to withstand up to 200 metres of water, divers watches are the perfect Father's Day gift for any water-dwelling dads out there.
Stylish, waterproof and packed full of a myriad of great features, there is certainly no shortage of aquatic-style watches out there. You will find everything from the debonair ‘Save the Ocean’ Seiko watches that provide a great message about ocean conservation and Citizen Promaster watches to the daring Bulova Oceanographer watches. The best part about these watches is that they are so stylish and sophisticated that they'll look just as good on dry land as they do in the water.
For the Sentimental Dad
Everyone loves a sentimental dad. They are the ones that shed a few tears when seeing your off on the way to your high school formal and feel an immense sense of pride when you present them with their lovingly handcrafted mug with the words, ‘world’s greatest dad’ on the front along with their hand-drawn card. Not surprisingly, these dads are a sucker for sentimental gifts. As your father will likely have many roles throughout his life, however, arguably the most important role he will have in his life is dad. Sentimental dads love gifts that represent this all-important role, so when it comes to gift-giving for this kind of father look no further than stylish men’s jewellery adorned with the word 'dad' or even their initials.
The sentimental dad will rock pieces such as rings and pendants decorated with their favourite title with a lot of pride and will smile to himself whenever he looks down and sees it on his finger. If your dad is someone of strong faith, cross necklaces or St Christopher pendants are likely another piece that is likely to make his day.
