What gift should you choose for Father’s Day?

Ah, Father’s Day! That special day when you rack your brains for an original gift idea that will make your dear dad happy. You’re looking for something unusual and personalisable that reminds him how much you love him and how much he means to you. So, what gift should you choose for Father’s Day?

Classic Father’s Day gifts

We all know the classic Father’s Day gifts: a tie, a keyring, a personalised mug... But let’s face it, those gift ideas aren’t very original, are they? This year, you want to give your dad something out of the ordinary, a gift that will surprise him and make him say:

"Wow, I wasn’t expecting that!".

These traditional gifts certainly have their charm and can sometimes hit the mark, especially when personalised. A mug with a family photo or a keyring engraved with a heartfelt message may be classic gifts, but they can carry a lot of meaning. Still, you have to admit they’re often predictable. How many times has your dad feigned surprise while unwrapping yet another tie? How many mugs can he collect in his cupboard before he gets tired of them?

That’s where the challenge lies. How do you find an original gift that stands out, makes your dad’s eyes light up and brings a genuine smile to his face? This year, you want to give him a gift that makes him say: 

"That’s such a brilliant idea! I wasn’t expecting it at all!". 

To do that, you need to think outside the box, explore new ideas and, above all, know your dad’s tastes and passions. After all, the best gift is one chosen from the heart.

How well do you know your dad?

To find an original gift, start by thinking about your dad’s passions. Does he love sport? Music? Cooking? High-tech gadgets? Once you know what makes him tick, you can look for gift ideas that match his interests. For example, if your dad enjoys whisky, you could give him a whisky tasting gift set featuring whiskies from around the world.

Taking your dad’s passions into account when choosing the perfect gift shows that you truly know him, care about what he enjoys and have taken the time to find something that suits him. It’s also a way to give him a moment of pleasure, an experience he’ll genuinely enjoy.

Our selection at Flakon

But if you want to treat your dad, why not give him a gift that combines elegance, sophistication and the pleasure of tasting? I’m talking about wine, of course. Giving a bottle of wine is like giving a journey in a glass: an exploration of flavours and aromas that will delight your dad’s palate. Yet a whole bottle often goes unfinished. And because good wine comes at a price, you may only buy one or two bottles. If your dad is a seasoned wine lover, finding a gift idea centred on a bottle of wine can quickly become a real headache.

To introduce people to the full richness of French wine (and sometimes wines from further afield), we’ve chosen an original format: a box of wine in vials (yes, each one fills two glasses). Your dad can discover up to ten different wines for the price of one good bottle!

We offer a range of wine-related products built around our concept. We’re passionate about creating an immersive, educational experience that opens up the secrets of wine to as many people as possible! And there’s something for every budget! Here’s our selection, tailored to you:

The connected wine aerator

If you’re looking for an original, cutting-edge gift idea, we offer the world’s first connected wine aerator. It’s even used in some of the finest luxury hotels. Thanks to its micro-oxygenation technology, you can aerate wine in seconds rather than waiting the many hours it would otherwise take. It’s a real time-saver and a great way to enjoy your fine wines at their best.

Great Wines of France 

This gift set is an invitation to journey through France’s wine regions. It contains four emblematic fine French wines, carefully selected for their quality and unique character. Each wine comes in a tasting vial, so your dad can discover a new wine gem without opening a whole bottle.

The "World of Wine" scratch-off map 

If your dad loves exploring the world of wine, this scratch-off map is the ideal gift. He can mark every country whose wine he’s tasted. Each country turns orange when scratched off, revealing information about it. It’s a fun and informative gift that will look great on the wall of his wine cellar or kitchen. You could pair it with our “Great Wines of the World” gift set for an even fuller experience.
