Mother’s Day is done and dusted off for another year, but that also means Father’s Day is on the horizon. Yes, finding the perfect present for your mum can be tricky, but finding one for your dad is notoriously difficult.
That’s in part because he always claims that he wants nothing from you and he’s satisfied with everything that he has. But before you buy another boring mug for him, consider a gift that he’ll definitely appreciate: food.
Let’s be honest, who can ever turn down a mouthwatering gift — it’s probably the best thing you could ever ask for. And while the heightened may or may not be eased after June 13, your safest bet would be to just hold your celebrations at home with your family.
From sweet to savoury treats, ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the most lavish treats that you can order to surprise Dad with this Father’s Day.
