Best cheap Father's Day gifts under £30 - including personalised present ideas

Dads are famously hard to buy for, with most of us opting for the same safe option of socks and beer every year.

But if you fancied getting him something a bit more thoughtful for Father's Day 2019, we've tracked down some of the top Father's Day gift ideas that - as well as putting a smile on his face - won't break the bank.

Rather than risking bankruptcy to treat him, pick up one of these thoughtful yet inexpensive items instead.

First Father's Day personalised book, £23

For any new dads out there, get a book for your little one's father that they can read together and create even more special memories with.

Just simply let them know the amount of day's since the baby's birth (up until Father's Day), and they'll write the story for you on behalf of the baby, thanking dad for all the wonderful things he does.

Day at the rugby, from £22

If your dad is a fan of the famously British sport, treat him to a day watching the iconic Barbarians, who will return to Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 16 November, to face Fiji, in the first international match to be held in the UK following the 2019 Rugby World Cup

The last time the two teams met at Twickenham, in November 2013, more than 68,000 fans were treated to a mouth-watering spectacle of running rugby, with the Barbarians stealing the show in an electric 43-19 win.

Get tickets from Ticketmaster from £22.

Cooling pint glass, £16.59

Crack open a cold one whenever you fancy, as this glass only takes 20 minutes to chill in the freezer.

Being made from acrylic, we also don't see why you can't just keep it in the freezer full time, waiting for it to be filled with ice cold beer.

Get it from Amazon for £16.59

Tile Mate, £14.99

If your dad always losing things, give him a helping hand with some savvy technology.

Working very similarly to find my iPhone, you just stick it onto something you regularly lose, and next time you can't find it, just press a button on the connected app and it will ring.

Beard bib, £8.99

If your dad is famous for his facial hair - in particular when it gets left all across the bathroom sink - then treat him to a genius trick that can answer all his stray hair problems.

A great joke present with a practical use, you'll certainly get a laugh out of this one.

Philips Hue smart lightbulb, £13.95

Smart homes just keep getting better and better, and currently one of the most useful things on the block is a smart lightbulb.

Once set up, you can simply ask your Alexa to turn the lights on or off, as well as dim them once it gets to the evening. 

You will need a Hue bridge though to make it work.

Craft beer and bar snacks, £27.90

If your dad likes nothing more than beer and food, maybe just stick to the classic bottle of beer instead - but amped up for the occasion.

This hamper gets you two Tom Wood beers, as well as a hefty selection of snacks to go with, including pork scratchings, nuts and breadsticks.

Google Home Mini, £49

If your dad hasn't given in to the smart speaker yet, maybe now's the time, with Father's Day the prime time to finally get him in on the action.
