Fathers Day gift ideas from local shops in Herts
Father’s Day 2021 isn't far away, falling on Sunday 20th June this year. A day completely dedicated to the father figures in our lives, you get to celebrate the special bond you have with them. However it can be tough finding the right gift for the man who has everything! I have a few ideas up my sleeve to inspire you for Father’s Day – all from lovely local shops and independent retailers in and around Hitchin.
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . book buffs
For Father’s who love a good crime thriller to get stuck into or latest travel book to dream of far away adventures, head on over to the iconic David’s Bookshop in nearby Letchworth. An independently run store for over 50 years, they have thousands of books on pretty much every topic or genre to choose from and a helpful team to point you in the right direction.
They have also recently reopened David's Café, so why not take a break from browsing books and grab yourself a slice of cake and cuppa tea to enjoy the unique environment.
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . Green-fingered enthusiasts
If you are looking for a present for a Father who adores gardening, check out Town Garden's fab online range of Home & Garden gifts. I have searched high and low for great gardening tools and quirky garden accessories, so you are bound to find something that Dad doesn’t have yet but will be oh so useful!
If you want, my team can build your very own gift basket of gardening goodies with Dad in mind - such as these handy Slate Plant Markers and Stainless Steel Bulb Planter.
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . Dad who loves a Roast
One of the most popular spots for delicious food, treat your Dad to a family meal at Kite at The Red Heart. Nestled in the heart of Hitchin, they have a fabulous outdoor beer garden and courtyard to enjoy the Summer sun or stylish indoor dining available, ideal for enjoying a Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. Table bookings are available online now!
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . A coffee connoisseur
If your Dad is a coffee connoisseur and adores a decent blend of beans in the morning, I have several great suggestions for you. The Hitchin Coffee Lab (they also have 2 other coffee shops located in Hertford and Ware) does top-notch coffee and retails their delicious Bionic Bull blend in store or online.
Another one of my local favourites for beautiful beans is Campervan Coffee Company nestled in the rolling hills of North Hertfordshire – their website offers a Coffee for a Year subscription which is perfect for giving as a thoughtful gift on Father's Day.
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . sporting mad Dad
Head on down to The Sports District on Hermitage Road in Hitchin for some specialist advice on sporting equipment and latest must-have accessories. From running headphones, tennis rackets, cricket bags to swimming goggles, you can pick up a present of any shape or size for your sport loving Dad.
The perfect Father’s Day gift for . . . craft beer fans
Beer Shop in Hitchin specialises in craft beer and you will find hundreds of unusual beers, ales and stouts from local and UK based breweries. Dad will love receiving a selection of new beers to try at home - a great way to say ‘Hoppy Father’s Day!’.
The passionate team can help you pick out some new styles to try or their website has some Gift Box Sets ready to go - they offer local delivery or click & collect option.
