Ask any dad what he wants for Father's Day and you'll get the same answer: "nothing, don't worry about it." Ask his family six weeks later what he's still wearing on repeat, and it's a very different story.

The truth is, most dads aren't hard to buy for, they're just hard to ask. Luckily, Shiels can help you find the perfect Father's Day gift. 

So this year, skip the socks, skip the mystery gadget he'll never plug in, and go with something he'll actually reach for every single day. A great ring, a watch that means something, a chain with some weight behind it. That's the kind of gift that sticks around a lot longer than Father's Day itself.

Where To Start With Father's Day Gifts

For The Dad Who Likes A Statement

If your dad already has a drawer full of ties, it might be time to give him something with a bit more presence. A gents ring is one of those gifts that quietly says "I know you" without saying a word.

The 9ct Yellow Gold Plain Onyx and Diamond Patterned Side Gents Ring pairs jet-black onyx with diamond-set sides for a look that's confident without trying too hard.

For an even bolder finish, the Onyx and Diamond Gents Ring in 9ct Yellow Gold brings a tall, symmetrical band and a striking black stone centrepiece. 

Working with a smaller budget? The Diamond Gents Ring in Gold Plated Sterling Silver is a claw-set diamond ring that punches well above its weight, and the 1/5 Carat Diamond Gents Ring channel-sets a fifth of a carat of diamonds for everyday polish. If he's after something with real sparkle, the Cubic Zirconia Ring in 9ct Yellow Gold is a triple-row showstopper.

Father's Day Gifts Watches

For The Dad Who's Always Checking The Time

Some dads collect watches. Some just wear the same one until it falls apart. Either way, a good watch is one of those gifts that gets noticed every single day.

For the dad who likes a bit of shine, the Citizen Eco-Drive World Time BU2082-56E runs on light instead of batteries and sets diamonds into a bold gold and black face. For the dad who's always on the move, the Seiko Solar SSC139P-9 Chronograph brings a chronograph, alarm and dual time zone display to a rugged stainless-steel build. And if he's more "weekend adventurer" than "boardroom," the G-Shock GA-400GB-1A9 is shock resistant, water resistant, and built to survive absolutely anything he throws at it.

How do I find my dad's ring size without asking him?

Is a watch or a piece of jewellery a better Father's Day gift?

It really comes down to what he already wears. If he checks the time on his phone, a ring, bracelet or chain might get more daily use. If he's a watch person, a quality timepiece is hard to beat.
