The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide For Those That Love A Tipple

There’s no better way to show appreciation than with a thoughtfully crafted drink to suit his taste!
Whisky
Cotswolds Distillery Signature Single Malt Whisky
The award-winning Cotswolds Signature Single Malt Whisky was launched in 2017 and is the first whisky ever distilled in the Cotswolds. It is crafted and distilled using locally grown Cotswold barley that gives it a rich and fruity taste, boasting tones of honey and butterscotch as well as Seville orange marmalade.
Cotswolds Distillery Signature Single Malt Whisky RRP from: £46 for 70cl. ABV: 46%. Available from: Morrisons [15], Waitrose [16], Tesco [17] and Amazon [18].
Gin
Personalised Renais Gin Bottle
Renais Gin is founded by Alex Watson and his sister Emma. It is a grape spirit gin, inspired by childhood trips to Alex and Emma’s family vineyard, Domaine Watson, in Northern France which their father has operated for more than 30 years. Renais Gin is made from upcycled wine pressed grapes and infused with rare botanicals and local terroir including linden flowers, cubeb berries and acacia honey. The result is a modern gin with floral notes of violets and spring blossom.
Best enjoyed sipped over ice as well as mixing in cocktails, Renais suits stirred-down classics such as the martini, as well as long and
refreshing spritzes and of course a G&T. Personalise a bottle of Renais Gin with a name or DAD. Personalised Renais Gin RRP: £55.00 for 70cl. ABV: 40%. Available online from: Renais Gin [19]
Renais Grand Cru Cask-Aged Gin
For an even more luxurious gift, treat Dad to this limited edition expression of Renais Gin. Carefully rested for one year in hand-selected French oak casks that once held prestigious Grand Cru wines, this gin embodies a fusion of distilling precision and oenological heritage.
Crafted in small batches, each bottle captures the essence of Renais’ terroir-driven philosophy while introducing layered complexity, silky texture, vanilla and spice notes and a distinctive hue influenced by its time in wine-soaked oak. The result is a sophisticated spirit, ideal for contemplative sipping or luxurious reinterpretations of classic cocktails.
Renais Grand Cru Cask-Aged Gin RRP £90 for a 70cl bottle. Available from: www.renais.co.uk [20]
Cotswolds Distillery Dry Gin Essence
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is designed to reduce the amount of alcohol required in a G&T or gin-based cocktails, whilst at the same time retaining intensity of flavour. Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence (ABV 46%) is made using ten times the botanical concentration of their award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin. This results in a huge amount of flavour per unit of alcohol. Cotswolds Dry
Gin Essence is so rich in botanical character that just 5ml is needed for a full flavour G&T, which has 1/10th of the alcohol of the usual Cotswolds signature serve.
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence comes in a 100ml bottle with a pipette and provides 20 serves. A teaspoon of gin essence is the recommended amount for one serve. Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence contains 14 calories per 5ml serve and just 0.23 units of alcohol.
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence RRP: £18.50 for 100ml (20 serves). ABV: 46%. Available from: Cotswolds Distillery [21]_ _ Liqueurs & Indulgent
Cotswolds Cream Liqueur
Cotswolds Cream Liqueur is a blend of fresh cream and Cotswolds Distillery’s award-winning single malt spirit, which is made with locally-grown Cotswolds barley. Like all good cream liqueurs, this is excellent over ice or in a coffee and gives the best excuse to relax by the fire after a long lunch. It is rich and silky with notes of Butterscotch and vanilla.
Cotswolds Cream Liqueur: RRP £26 for a 70cl bottle. ABV 17%.
Available from Master of Malt [22]

Limoncè Limoncello: RRP from £15, 50cl | ABV 25%. Available from:
Amazon [23], Master Of Malt [24] and Ocado [25]
Wine and Sparkling
Van Gogh “Avenue of Poplars in Autumn” by Domaine du Météore For the artistic Dad, treat him to a red wine with a Van Gogh label. Domaine du Météore’s _Avenue of Poplars in Autumn _red wine is a blend of organic Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes. The red wine is called _Avenue of Poplars in Autumn _after the beautiful autumn landscape with tall poplar trees lining the roads, typical of the Languedoc region.
The Avenue of Poplars in Autumn bottle’s label depicts Van Gogh’s 1884 painting, which he described to his brother as “a study of an avenue of poplars with the yellow autumn leaves, where the sun makes glittering patches here and there on the fallen leaves on the ground…”

Forget ‘World’s Best Dad’ Merch, 62% Men Want Nostalgic Father’s Day Gifts This Year
June 2025: This Father’s Day, Corgi is urging families to rethink
their gift-giving habits, as new research reveals that dads are
overwhelmingly disappointed by unimaginative and mismatched presents.
From novelty ties to generic mugs, a staggering number of fathers are
left feeling unappreciated by gifts that fail to reflect their
personality or passions.
Fathers are most frustrated by receiving gifts that do not match their
interests (25%), are the same type of gifts every year (23%), or are
just for the sake of it rather than with much thought (22%). Some dads
even received – a fishing rod when they have never fished before, a
half-finished bottle of wine and one person received just one sock. In
fact, the most dreaded Father’s Day gifts include:
* “World’s Best Dad” Merchandise (30%)
* Clothing with Slogans or Logos (26%)
* Cheap Aftershave (25%)
* Novelty Ties (24%)
* Exercise Equipment (20%)
* Socks (20%)
* Personal Hygiene Products (18%)
* Mugs (18%)
* Slippers (17%)
* Gimmicky Gadgets (17%)
But it’s not just dads who are frustrated. Gift buyers admit they
struggle too, with a quarter (25%) saying the recipient already has
everything he needs, 22% claiming he never says what he wants, and 20%
citing a lack of original ideas as a major roadblock.
When buying gifts, women and men agree that usefulness and
practicality is important (78%), however, the research found that men
value nostalgic and hobby related gifts more than women think, with
62% men vs 57% women thinking nostalgia is important and 70% men vs
61% women listing them being hobby related as important.
The research also reveals that the most appreciated nostalgic gifts
are those connected to a father’s childhood, from collectibles and
retro sports items to vintage records and first vehicles. Respondents
who gave nostalgic gifts reported reactions from recipients that were
overwhelmingly positive with 23% saying their dad was happy, 21%
grateful, and 13% emotional.
Men think surprising them with something unique and thoughtful (31%)
and paying attention to hobbies and activities (17%) would help
gift-givers choose better Father’s Day gifts.
While Corgi’s survey found that 16% of fathers confess that they
don’t think there is an ideal Father’s Day gift, Behavioural
Scientist, Ben Voyer explains, buying for a ‘picky gift
recipient’, _“requires a mindset shift and becomes less about
finding the perfect gift and more about ensuring one does not get it
wrong._
According to academic research*, 39% of gift givers buy for a
“picky gift recipient” – defined as a person having narrow and
unpredictable preferences. Why do most gift givers end up buying
irrelevant gifts? Because the time and effort required to find the
optimal gift is often felt as too high._
Fathers tend to be difficult to buy for as their preferences are more
scattered and less stereotyped than mothers. Whereas social
conventions such as buying flowers for mothers tend to be robust and
please most, it is hard to find similar categories for fathers._
_There is also a self-fulfilling prophecy: the more we think of
fathers as difficult to buy for, the more likely we are to struggle
when finding gifts, which in turn reinforces this stereotype.”_
Guy Stainthorpe, Managing Director of Corgi said, _“Corgi’s range
of die-cast model vehicles and collectible memorabilia isn’t just a
gift, it’s a portal to fond childhood memories and personal
passions, whether it’s classic cars, vintage aircrafts, or iconic TV
and movie vehicles._
_Corgi encourages shoppers to forget the gimmicks this year. Rather
than gifting another pair of socks or a novelty mug, surprise Dad with
something that truly resonates – a thoughtful nod to his hobbies,
interests, and memories._
_Dads want to feel seen, and there’s no better way to do that than
with a gift that celebrates who they are and what they love.”_

CURRYS DROPS LIMITED-EDITION ‘TECH SUPPORT DAD’ MERCH – JUST IN
TIME FOR FATHER’S DAY
Because 62% of Brits still call Dad when the Wi-Fi goes down… and
that deserves more than just a “thanks”
· There’s only one man for the job: Nearly two
thirds (62%) of Brits turn to their dad for tech support, with just
over half (56%) of dads being called on for help at least weekly by
other household members
· Unappreciated Heroes: However, 61% of dads often
feel their tech support goes unnoticed, with only 2% saying they feel
it is appreciated
· Celebrate Dad – Tech Gear Galore: To celebrate tech
support dads this Father’s Day, Currys has launched a
limited-edition ‘Tech Expert’ inspired merch line, with all
proceeds from the range going to CALM (Campaign Against Living
Miserably)
London, UK – 10 June 2025 – Currys is celebrating the unsung
heroes of household tech support this Father’s Day with a special
‘Tech Expert’ merch drop. Inspired by the signature look of
Currys’ in-store tech pros, the range is a fashionable nod to every
dad who’s ever replaced ink cartridges or recovered forgotten
passwords.
Tech Champions
New research from Currys reveals that nearly two-thirds of Brits (62%)
still turn to their dad for tech help. Londoners top the list, with
85% saying dad is their first port of call for digital dilemmas –
compared to 47% in the East Midlands.
Dads appear to be in high demand, with nearly half (46%) of those
still living at home saying they ask dad for tech help at least once a
week, while one in ten (10%) admit to pestering him daily. Millennials
are the biggest offenders, with one in five (20%) needing dad-based
tech support every day – double that of Gen Z (10%).
Even grown-up kids who’ve flown the nest can’t resists the tech
hotline that is dad – with 12% stating they call a few times a week,
and 5% reaching out every day.
The most common cries for help? Fixing Wi-Fi issues (55%), setting up
a new phone or tablet (31%), troubleshooting streaming problems (31%),
and recovering forgotten passwords (26%). Millennials once again top
the forgetfulness chart, with more than a third (36%) needing password
help.
Despite their all-important role, six in ten (61%) dads say their tech
help goes unnoticed, with a measly 2% feeling genuinely appreciated
for their services. Still, many take pride in their role: almost a
third (31%) believe they’re the undisputed tech guru at home, and a
quarter (25%) say they enjoy the praise they get for their tech
wizardry. However, over a quarter (27%) of dads are a little fed up of
repeating their catchphrase: “Turn it off and on again”.
Celebrate Dad: Tech Gear Galore
This Father’s Day, Currys is finally giving dads the recognition
they deserve with an exclusive ‘Tech Expert’ merch line inspired
by their own in-store pros. From caps, socks, sliders and mugs to

This activity supports the suicide prevention charity, CALM (Campaign
Against Living Miserably), with all proceeds from the range going
directly to the charity’s life-saving work.

with Currys. From gardening gear and smartwatches to beard trimmers

Portobello Smash Burgers are the Hot New Star of BBQ Season
Plant-based never looked so good. Discover the one low-cost
ingredient BBQ experts say will make your BBQ even tastier!
· The trending smash burger, meets flame-grilled,
‘meaty’ portobello mushrooms
· BBQ expert Helen Graves shares her ultimate
budget-friendly, plant-powered BBQ recipe
· Packed with umami, nutrients and bold summer flavours –
mushrooms are your secret BBQ weapon this year
London, June 2025: A new kind of burger is taking over the grills –
and it’s 100% plant-powered. Meet the _Portobello Smash Burger_, the
summer sizzler created by BBQ expert and food writer Helen Graves. In
collaboration with European Mushrooms, Nature’s Powerhouses, she’s
given mushrooms the smash treatment to create the ultimate low-cost,
flavour-packed healthy burger.
Big on bite and bold on flavour, these burgers are grilled till
tender and then smashed flat in the style of the American smash
burger. But instead of beef, it’s the smashed portobello mushroom
that takes centre stage, soaking up the smoky BBQ flavours and
delivering a rich, savoury bite.
“Mushrooms are budget-friendly, nutrient rich, and completely
delicious grilled on the BBQ,” says Helen Graves. “Their naturally
robust structure holds up to high heat, and they soak up the smoky BBQ
flavours like a sponge, adding a greater depth of smoky flavours. The
smashed mushrooms layer up well with melty cheese (vegan or regular)
romesco sauce, and a fresh green salsa verde, making this smash burger
a real summer showstopper.”
And mushrooms offer more than just flavour. They’re a nutritional
powerhouse: a source of folate, B vitamins, selenium, and protein.
Leave them in the sunshine for 15-30 minutes before grilling to
increase their vitamin D content, a simple and affordable way to
support your health this summer.
Helen shares her top tips to make the Ultimate Portobello Smash
Burger.
1. Remove the ‘button’ underneath the mushrooms and slice to
create a flat patty-like shape.
2. Don’t season your mushrooms with salt before grilling as this
will draw out moisture, causing them to steam on the grill. Instead,
rub lightly with oil, then grill until tender and season later.
3. ‘Smash’ the mushrooms flat (pressed down) on the grill to
make them nice and flat, mimicking the technique used for smash
burgers.
4. Don’t have a burger press? No problem – a heavy pan works
just as well. Use the base to press the mushrooms flat.
5. Then layer them up inside the burger, with cheese (vegan or
regular), a rich romesco sauce made with smoked paprika and red
peppers, and a vibrant green salsa for a more satisfying bite.
6. Don’t think of mushrooms as a meat-free alternative (although
of course they are!) but as a starring ingredient. They’re more than
capable of stealing the spotlight this BBQ season.
Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or looking to impress your
guests with something new, the Portobello Smash Burger is your go-to
for summer flavour, nutrition, and serious BBQ vibes. The full recipe,
along with expert BBQ tips, are available online at
www.makeitamushroommoment.eu . The recipe is part of the
Mushroom
Moment campaign, designed to help make mushrooms the star of your
summer table.
Recipe
Portobello smash burgers with mojo verde and romesco
Portobello mushrooms are grilled until tender and ‘smashed’ on the
grill. They are layered inside the burger with cheese / vegan cheese,
a rich romesco sauce made with smoked paprika and red peppers, plus a
vibrant green salsa.
2 burger buns, toasted
6 portobello mushrooms per burger, stalks removed
4 cheese/ vegan cheese slices
Romesco
1 roasted red pepper
100g almonds, toasted
1 large tomato
70g stale white bread (no crusts)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon hot paprika
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil plus a little extra to finish
Mojo verde
2 cloves of garlic
1 green chilli, stalk removed
1 large bunch of coriander (around 100g)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
4 tablespoons olive oil
* Skin the tomato by making a cross shape in the bottom then
covering with boiling water for a few minutes. Drain, then plunge them
into cold water and leave for a minute. Peel away the skin.
* Place the almonds, pepper and tomato in a blender with the
remaining ingredients and a pinch of salt. Pulse to a
coarsely-textured sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary
* Blend all the ingredients for the mojo verde with a pinch of salt
* Trim the mushrooms to make them flat, then rub lightly with oil and
season with salt. Cook on a hot BBQ until charred on each side.
‘Smash’ the mushrooms flat (pressed down) on the grill to make
them nice and flat, mimicking the technique used for smash burgers.
Don’t have a burger press? No problem – a heavy pan works just as
well. Use the base to press the mushrooms flat.
* Then layer up with slices of cheese and the rich romesco sauce and
the vibrant green mojo verde salsa
