(And What to Get Him Instead)
When dads say they just want socks, let’s face it — they’re practical, yes. But when Father’s Day rolls around each year, is “practical” really what we want to give the guy who taught us how to ride a bike, flip a steak like a pro, or reverse park in a single try?
This year, let’s step it up. Dads deserve more than just socks — they deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and spoiled. Whether he's a snack lover, a beer drinker, or a sweet tooth in disguise, we’ve got a gift box with his name on it (figuratively — but we can add a specialised message card, of course).
BEST DAD Loaded Brownie and DAD Mini Loaded Brownie
Say it with a brownie this Father’s Day! Our “Best Dad” Brownie is a rich, fudgy classic topped with in-house-made rich, Whitakers chocolate ganache – the perfect way to show appreciation for your dad.
After something a little smaller? The Mini “Dad” Brownie packs the same indulgent flavour in a bite-sized treat. Great on its own or added to a gift box. A sweet way to say, “You’re the best,” without saying a word.
