If he wants to reboot his skincare regime, Boots and Superdrug are always great stores for shaving kits, body washes and Father’s Day special offers while TK Maxx’s cosmetics and men’s grooming department always have brilliant finds for clipper sets and washbags. Guy & Beard is the independent barbers on site and offers everything from a hot towel shave to eyebrow threading.

Memberships and more

Want to get him something a bit different? Memberships are literally the gifts that keep giving: PureGym is open 24 hours a day with personal trainers, classes and high-spec equipment – with all memberships here. Meanwhile, head to the Odeon for vouchers (give the gift of downtime in front of the big screen) or enjoy a night out together with a meal and a movie. Genius.
