Father’s Day Gift Ideas For The Dad Who Has Everything
Father’s Day gift ideas aren’t always easy to come by, especially when your dad already owns every gadget, tool, and novelty item known to man. And when he insists that he “doesn’t want anything,” you’re left scrolling through online gift guides wondering if a third barbecue apron is a bit much.
FUN FACT: Did you know Father’s Day was originally created back in 1910 by a woman who wanted to honour her war veteran dad who raised six kids solo? Basically, some dads have been legends since practically forever, so yeah, they deserve better than a petrol station Toblerone and a panic-printed card.
That’s where we come in. Whether your dad is into flavour, fizz, function, or all of the above, we’ve pulled together a few brilliant, actually-useful gift ideas, including, yes, Hip Pop’s soft drinks (we are a bit biased, but they are genuinely top tier).
Let’s find him something he’ll actually be chuffed with this year.
Fizzy, Functional, and Father-Approved
Soft drinks, but make them interesting.
If your dad’s the type who appreciates the finer things in life, like a well-stocked fridge, a properly brewed cuppa, or a cold drink that doesn’t taste like syrupy regret, then Hip Pop might just be the unexpected hit of Father’s Day.
We make soft drinks with real ingredients, bold flavours, and no artificial sweeteners, so they’re big on taste and light on nonsense. Whether he’s into tropical fruit, sharp citrus, or something that tastes a bit like a grown-up treat without being a full-on health tonic, there’s a flavour (or five) he’ll love.
And it’s not just about taste:
-
Our sodas contain apple cider vinegar and live cultures, great for the gut, even if he’ll only admit he drinks them “because they’re fizzy and nice.”
-
Our kombuchas are flavour-packed, lightly sparkling, and some are infused with 15mg of high-quality CBD like our Passionfruit & Guava or Cherry & Blackberry , ideal for dads who deserve a bit of “ahhhhhhh” without going full yoga mat, or drinking something alcoholic.
-
Everything we make is vegan, gluten-free, and made by humans in the UK, because dads deserve real stuff made by real people.
So, whether you’re building a custom mixed case or picking out his new fridge favourite, Hip Pop’s got the fizz, flavour, and low-key functional edge to make him feel genuinely spoiled.
More Father’s Day Gift Ideas (That Aren’t Socks, or a Screwdriver Set)
Yes, you can do better than a “World’s Best Dad” mug.
Whether your dad’s a foodie, a fizz-lover, or just impossible to shop for, here are a few gift ideas that hit that sweet spot between thoughtful and genuinely useful:
-
A Mini Fridge Just for His Drinks
Give him a place to chill his Hip Pop stash in peace, aka: no more “whose can is this?” drama in the main fridge. -
Artisan Snacks or Hot Sauce Sets
Pair a case of soda with a few of his favourite nibbles. Bonus points if they’re spicy enough to make him do that “I’m fine” face while tearing up slightly. -
Something DIY, but not DIY
A flatpack project he’ll actually enjoy, think model kits rather than BBQ accessories. Things that involve tools, but not a full Saturday lost to YouTube tutorials. -
Books he won’t pretend to read
Funny, weird, or niche books that align with his odd hobbies. Think: “The History of Bins,” or “How to Drink Tea Like a Samurai.” Surprisingly good browsing. -
A Subscription That Isn’t Just Socks or Coffee
There are options out there for everything, from craft chocolate to vinyl records, but may we humbly suggest a subscription to soft drinks that taste delicious?
No matter your budget or how hard he is to buy for, the key is simple: find something that shows you’ve thought about him, not just the “dad” section of your local gift aisle.
Wrap It Like You Meant To
Because presentation matters (even if it’s mostly duct tape).
So, you’ve nailed the gift but now comes the tricky bit: making it look like you didn’t find it 15 minutes ago and shove it in a bag from last Christmas.
The good news? Cans are gift-wrapping gold.
A box of Hip Pop is perfectly rectangular, satisfying to wrap, and won’t betray you by making awkward shapes under paper. Unlike, say, slippers, a novelty golf mug, or a stuffed animal with limbs that absolutely refuse to fold.
Here are a few dad-level gift wrap tips:
-
Go for a box. Even if you’re gifting a mixed case of drinks, a cardboard box is your best friend. Uniform shape = smooth corners = less Sellotape-based swearing.
-
Pick a paper he won’t expect. Newspaper, brown kraft paper, a blueprint of the Death Star, whatever makes him smile. Bonus points for a punny tag.
-
Add a personal note. Nothing fancy, just something that says “this made me think of you”, whether that’s because it’s thoughtful or ever-so-slightly chaotic.
-
Or don’t wrap it at all. Stick a bow or a cool sticker on the box, hand it over with a smug grin, and say, “It’s what’s inside that counts.” That’s classic dad logic, and he’ll probably respect it.
Now all that’s left? Deliver it with confidence and maybe share a can or two.
The Gift for Dads Who Say “I Don’t Want Anything”
Because they always say it. And they never mean it.
There’s something about dads. No matter how many birthdays, holidays, or Father’s Days roll around, they’ll still hit you with:
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve got everything I need.”
Translation: They have no idea what they want, but they’d still quite like a little bit of a fuss made.
That’s what makes Hip Pop such a brilliant Father’s Day move. It’s a gift that feels thoughtful without being over-the-top. It’s not flashy. It’s not gimmicky. It’s a box full of proper good drinks, made with real ingredients, natural flavour, and enough fizz to make cracking open a can feel like a tiny celebration.
You’re not buying him stuff, you’re giving him something he’ll actually use (or in this case, drink). Something he might not have picked for himself but will 100% text you about once he tries it (probably with a picture and a thumbs-up emoji).
It’s easy, original, and fridge-friendly. And let’s face it, he definitely doesn’t need another keyring shaped like a spanner.
Father’s Day, Sorted
No socks. No stress. Just proper good gifts.
Father’s Day doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to feel thoughtful, and ideally, taste great too. Whether you go all-out with a gift box, build him a custom case of his new favourite drinks, or just slip a few cans into a hamper of hand-picked goodies, Hip Pop is here to raise your gifting game.
Our drinks are bold, refreshing, and made with real ingredients that don’t taste like they’ve been near a lab. They’re also low in sugar, packed with flavour, and made by real people with real passion for great tasting drinks. If your dad appreciates good taste and no nonsense, he’s going to love this.
Get him something fizzy, functional, and Father’s Day-worthy.
(And maybe grab a few extras, you know, for quality control.)
