Owner Martina founded the shop back in 1989, stocking only items designed and made in Ireland. They have an online Father’s Day gift section for inspiration – everything from richly scented candles, hand crafted cheeseboards to stylish framed art.
Book an Adventure
Does your Dad have an adventurous streak? Wild Wet Adventures is located on the shores of Temple House Lake and experienced guide John takes you on many exciting experiences to explore the natural beauty that surrounds us. Book you and Dad in for a fun day of kayaking on the serene lakes, test your balancing act Paddle Boarding or try your hand (or perhaps that should be feet?) at guided hiking.
Donut Delights
O’Hehirs is a family run, artisan bakery with their head branch founded in central Sligo back in 1984. They have a mouth-watering range of cakes, pastries and treats to order online or pick up in store – perfect for Father’s who have a sweet tooth! It is tough to pick our favourite, but their box of Mars Bar Donut has to be up there as one of our top choices.
Handmade goodies
Four Sprung Ducks craft gifts using ceramics, driftwood, stone and natural materials from their studio on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. They have some really unique gifts and a dedicated section the website just for Dads! We love the personalised coasters for hobbies such as cycling and rock climbing, and the tide time clocks are a must for any dog walker.
Also if you live in London and are looking for flowers for any occasion we recommend Clapham Flowers, your florist in Balham.
