Father’s Day is here again this month, it is time to celebrate that great dad in your life. Dads do come in many different shapes and sizes. It doesn’t matter if he is a stepdad, adopted dad, uncle or a single parent pulling double duty. A dad is someone who has chosen to be part of your life. As well as a person who is related through blood. Here are a few awesome gifts for Father’s Day to make sure they know how much you appreciate them.
Books For Your Dad To Read
Firstly, we are going to start with books, after all, Dad needs time to chill and read.
Aesop the Storyteller by Leon Conrad
This book takes your dad back to his childhood, and will hopefully bring back memories of reading with his dad. Aesop’s fables are part of everyone’s childhood, and this book is great for all dad’s out there. Will the stag escape the hunters? Did the lion eat the mouse? And why exactly did the fox invite the stork around to share a meal? You will find your own answers to these questions as you engage with the stories retold here by Leon Conrad in the rich oral storytelling tradition. The layout of this book is specially designed to encourage reading aloud to your family. Alessandro Scafi’s charming illustrations perfectly complement the fables. Aesop The Storyteller is available from Amazon for £11.95
Breaking My Silence by Alan Sowersby
As a person who suffers from mental health, it is important to spread awareness of mental health. We need to make people more aware that it is okay to not be okay. Because it is well-known that men tend to hide their feelings more.
This book is a heartfelt memoir that records Alan Sowersby’s recovery from the OCD and anxiety issues that have plagued his life. He didn’t plan to be a writer. But it just happened; sparked from the writing of a poem. Just five simple verses were written to convey his feelings of desperation. Words that opened the floodgates and started a therapeutic journey that would help him come to terms with his illness.
Breaking My Silence will inspire you, inform you and perhaps even make you shed a few tears. Because Alan is brutally honest throughout, and talks so openly and candidly about his challenges. A moving and inspiring memoir perfect for fathers with an interest in mental health, or those who are neurodivergent. Breaking My Silence is available from Amazon for £10.32
Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver
Finally, we come to the last book in our Father’s Day guide. It is an enthralling murder mystery with a vividly realised future world. It forces readers to grapple hard-hitting questions about the climate crisis. Also our relationship with Artificial Intelligence and the price we would be willing to pay, as a species, to be saved. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Neal Stephenson, Philip K Dick, Kim Stanley Robinson and RR Haywood.
It’s 2050, a decade after a heatwave that killed four hundred million across the Persian Gulf, including journalist Marcus Tully’s wife. But now he must uncover the truth: was the disaster natural? Or is the weather now a weapon of genocide? It is the perfect read this Father‘s Day if your dad loves an addictive technothriller. Artificial Wisdom is available from Amazon for £9.19

Memberships Make Great Gifts For Father’s Day
Finally, our last of the gifts for Father’s Day is something to bring you together as a family. So this will need some thinking about. Because all dads are different, aren’t they?
You could think about getting him a cinema pass for your local cinema, That could become his downtime and make one of the best gifts for Father’s Day. He can go along on a day off from work and watch old movies. But he can also go along with you. When you buy a movie membership, you save so much money and you have the freedom of going whenever you want to. So if wake up and decide you want to watch a film, you just grab your pass and go. However, you only need to go once or twice a month to make it worthwhile.
But if cinemas are his thing, how about a membership in something he likes doing? An English Heritage membership ensures you have some great family days out. Because kids go free with an adult. So you could save a lot of money. Then there will be a wide range of days out to choose from. You will get your money back from only one visit!
