Cosmetics

If your dad or the man in your life likes taking care of himself when it comes to skincare then products from Irish brand The Handmade Soap Company might be your best bet. They have released their first ever Men's skincare range which includes a beard oil, hair and body wash, shaving gel, after-shave balm, a bar of soap, and a 100% compostable deodorant.

Developed and manufactured in Slane, Meath the brand are as completely natural and sustainable as possible. The range can be found on their website and the products range in price from €7 to €18.

Alcohol

Sometimes the simplest of gifts can be the most appreciated and if your dad loves a good bottle of whiskey then a bottle of Tullamore D.E.W Irish whiskey could be the best present. The alcohol is created in Tullamore and blends three whiskeys together to create the unique taste that is spicy and sweet.

The bottle sells for €32 and can be found in Tesco and Supervalu nationwide.

A skin consultation

If you think your dad is in need of some self care then the unique gift of a voucher for a skin consolation with Eavanna Breen at her skin clinic on Lower Leeson Street might be just the trick.

The expert clinic offers a range of facials and treatments that are tailored to treat any skin problem your dad may be dealing with and will ensure to get him to his optimum skin health.

Going out for dinner

Treating your dad to dinner can be a lovely way to mark the occasion and to spend some time together. Little Pyg on the Powerscourt Townhouse rooftop has officially been crowned Ireland's best pizza, making it the perfect spot for a bite to eat.

They offer any two pizzas for €30 and gift cards can also be bought at the Little Pyg website.

If your dad loves a trip to the local pub then give his evening an upgrade with a booking at the newly renovated Backyard Gastropub in Dundrum. Located conveniently just above the Balally Luas stop this is an ideal location and with their wide range of food and drinks to chose from your dad will be more than impressed.

A rooftop bar experience

Going to a rooftop bar for a couple of drinks is the perfect summer activity and any dad would appreciate the effort of making a booking at the boujee Hyde bar located just off Grafton Street. It is Dublins newest and largest rooftop bar with a different concept on each of its four floors.

Tables can be booked or gift vouchers bought from their website.
