Cheap Father's Day Gifts: Under £20
This article is packed with Father's Day presents under £20. From fragrance to tech, there is something for every Dad.
Let’s face it, Dad’s can be tricky to buy for. We often think of tech and gadgets that can become pricey pressies. But, I’ve got some suggestions that won’t leave you broke. Read on to find out how you can save a few quid whilst making Dad feel like a King.
When is Father's Day this year?
Don’t leave picking up a gift for Dad until the last minute, you will only panic buy and he’s probably got enough socks already! Father’s Day is on Sunday the 16th of June this year (2024).
How much should I spend on a Father’s Day present?
The short answer to this is - what you can afford. Your Dad isn’t going to want you to overspend, so set a realistic budget. According to a survey from Creative Gift Love 44.36% of people spend between £10 and £30 on a Father’s Day gift. While only 7.3% will spend over £100.
With this in mind, I decided to set a £20 budget. And there is something for every kind of dad, stepdad, grandad or Father figure in your life.
For Dads who love sentimental gifts
If your Dad is one of those men who love memory keepsakes, gorgeous heartfelt messages or fresh flowers; these suggestions are for you.

Where experiences and memories can be recorded and treasured for years to come. Prices start from £9.99, available from Amazon.
- Personalised Envelope Cufflinks with Message Card. These gorgeous envelope cufflinks include a little note of your choice. Such a fabulous gift for a new dad, dads that live far away or even a Grandad. Available from Not on the High Street for £14.
