Don't know what to buy him this Father's Day? We can help you with that...
Crafty Nectar craft cider subscription (£15.50 for three)
Hurry, and you'll still have time to bag Dad a flavoursome drink guaranteed to hit the spot!
A box of three craft ciders, picked by founders Ed and James, comes in at £15.50, so you see it's not just refreshing in the mouth, but for the finances too.
It's a great way to sample some of the best bottles on the market. We were treated to Harry's Cider Dabinett which was easy an easy drink, Vintage Pip, which pulls some punch – it uses sweet rich dessert apples and a higher percentage of cider apples, and West Milton Lanscombe Rising, which uses the ancient art of Keeving to arrive at a slow full-flavoured fermentation.
'This box will help trendy Dad's stay relevant,' promise those at crafty nectar, and with a monthly subscription also available, Dad can indulge in a tasty sensation over and again.
We like this, a lot. And it seems we aren't the only ones; Crafty Nectar is the UK’s biggest and best craft cider subscription service

Azzaro Chrome Eau De Toilette (100ml £44/ 50ml £33)
A fragrance of pure escapism with timeless freshness, Azzoro Chrome might just be the perfect gift this June 17. The citrus-aquatic-woody fragrance is wonderful, and makes use of bergamot, musks, and aquatic notes, together with sandalwood.
The bottle does a job too, with its chrome cap and herringbone motif adding elegance to the simple square bottle. It's fresh, and fab, and very 'Dad.'
Buy in time for Father's Day and Azzaro Chrome comes with an exclusive wash bag too.

Il Gusto has a whole range of gorgeous gifts that will raise a smile, from miniature whisky gift sets to premium rums and brandies.

We love the Cognac X.O which comes from Grande Champagne, having been aged in oaken casks for a minimum of 13 years.

The Unlosable Socks from Cabaia (£9)
How many times does it seem to be that two socks go in the washing machine, but just the one comes out? Odd socks are the bane of many a sock drawer, but with Cabaia, you need never have a sole tootsie holder again!
They have created socks that come with a magic button and button hole, for you to connect them before washing.
It means the foot buddies stay together throughout the whole process of washing and drying. Forget Dad, everyone will be wanting these!

Jawbox Gin
Total MK loves nothing more than kicking back with a good gin.
We were doing it long before the drink became cool and clever again, but the good thing about its recent-year explosion in popularity is that our tastebuds have lots more variety waiting to tickle them!
And Jawbox certainly does a lip-licking job!
The classic style juniper-led gin teases with a citrus and the aforementioned juniper but pepper soon follows.
Jawbox is triple-distilled slowly in traditional copper pot stills in small batches making great use of 11 botanicals, including Belfast Black Mountain Heather.
Jawbox is distilled near Belfast on a 300-acre 16th-century estate where the grain for the spirit is grown and harvested.
The results are a perfect palate pleasing beverage. According to those responsible for this gin-ormous tasting treat, Jawbox is 'perfect for the adventurous, confident and curious gin drinker.'
Which means that it's good for one and all. And we won't argue with that.

Doom Bar Mini Keg (£16) and 500ml cans (£4.78)
You could give Dad a four-pack for Father's Day, and let's face it, he'll not to turn his nose up at a refreshing pint or two...or four!
Doom Bar, the UK's no.1 cask beer, have just launched 500ml cans.
It's a cracking little gift that keeps on giving - just perfect for thirsty fathers!
With summer just around the corner, Sharp’s Brewery has announced the launch of two new Doom Bar products. The UK’s no.1 cask beer, Doom Bar, is now available in a 5l mini keg and in 500ml cans, giving drinkers even more choice of how to enjoy the iconic Cornish ale.
The new cans of the award winning amber ale come as a four-pack and packaged in cardboard rather than plastic – a move which highlights Sharp’s commitment to sustainability, which gets the Total MK thumbs up.
The cans can be cracked open at home, enjoyed al fresco at the beach and summer events, and savoured wherever and whenever takes your fancy.
But better still is the Doom Bar mini keg, and of course it's a gift that keeps on giving. Perfect for thirsty fathers everywhere!
Inspired by its namesake, the treacherous sandbank near the brewery’s home in Rock, Cornwall, Doom Bar is Sharp’s most iconic beer. With a complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malt and a subtle yet assertive bitterness, the mouth feel is balanced and the finish is dry and refreshing.
Get it: The Doom Bar mini keg and 500ml cans are now available nationwide at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons
