Father's Day is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to show appreciation for the dads in our lives. As we search for the perfect gift, we're often seeking something meaningful and thoughtful, a gift that truly reflects the love and gratitude we have for our fathers. In this blog post, we'll explore the essence of thoughtful Father's Day gifts and delve into what people are looking for when choosing that special present.
Each dad is unique, but as a whole, they're famously tricky to shop for. If they need something, chances are they've already gotten it themselves. And if it's something sentimental but impractical, they might not quite appreciate it, relegating it to the infamous "kitchen drawer of miscellaneous items" – or as our family fondly refers to it, the "scary drawer."
To avoid this, we have put together a collection of household and garden accessories made bespoke to your father’s needs to help you find the perfect gift that is both thoughtful and practical.
So, the question is: What are you looking for in your father’s day gift?
1: Practical Father's Day Gifts – Use it or lose it!
All of our products have been designed originally either for our own home or as a gift for a friend. From our personalised chopping boards, chunky oak bookends to our footpath inspired key hangers, every product has a practical use whilst being a true feature and talking point of your home. Additionally, as our products are able to be made bespokely to your requirements, they can fit seemlessly into your home allowing for optimal ease of use.
2: Personalised Father's Day Gifts – Show them you know them!
All our products are completely customisable and personalised to your needs including the engraving. Take a trip down memory lane to places where you’ve shared special memories. Our double directional coat racks are a great gift to showcase two of his favourite places and a simple google search will tell you how many miles away each destination is from your home. Every time he hangs up a jacket, he’ll be reminded of the thoughtful gift you gave and the happy memories you shared in those places.
3: Father's Day Gifts with a Story – Where did you get it from?
With so many options online, it can feel a little overwhelming to decide which company to buy from. So we want you to know that when you buy from us, you are buying from a young couple running a small business where every one of our products is handcrafted in our Devon workshop. All of our oak is sustainably sourced on Dartmoor national park and hand picked by us. Grain Designs is truly a passion project for us, and we feel fortunate to run it together part-time. Our ultimate dream is for the business to support us both full-time. We enjoy brainstorming new product ideas together, with Rheece streamlining the building process while I focus on finding the best way to market each product to its target audience.

4: Father's Day Gifts with a Timeless Design – It’s gotta look good!
From our free-standing directional house signs and gate signs to our bespoke oak towel rails, we ensure a minimalist and timeless design that accentuates the natural beauty of the wood grain and draws attention to the engraving. Our initial coat racks were inspired by the traditional national trust footpath signs, therefore our designs are inspired by their country esque style and practical nature.
