Father’s Day is a chance to celebrate the men who’ve shaped our lives with love, humour, and quiet strength. Whether that’s your dad, stepdad, grandad, or a father figure who’s always been there, it’s about showing appreciation in a way that feels thoughtful and true.
At Benny and Mollie, we believe the best gifts come with meaning — not mass production. That’s why we’ve pulled together a collection of handmade and locally sourced treasures that feel special from the moment they’re unwrapped.
Celebrate Comfort and Ritual
Every dad has his daily rituals — the morning coffee, the Sunday read, the post-lunch nap. These quiet routines deserve accessories that match the mood. A handcrafted ceramic mug, for instance, makes that first cup of tea feel like a small ceremony. Pair it with a tin of locally blended tea or rich ground coffee for a gift he’ll return to every morning.
For dads who appreciate a calm space, aromatherapy candles are a game changer. Opt for woody scents like cedarwood, patchouli, or sandalwood to bring a grounding, masculine feel to their space. Our candles are made with natural soy wax, hand-poured in small batches — the kind of detail that turns an everyday object into something more meaningful.
For the Dad Who’s Always Tinkering
If your dad is the hands-on, fixer-upper type, lean into gifts that are both practical and beautiful. A handmade wooden organiser or ceramic trinket dish is a lovely way to keep his tools, keys, or bits and bobs in order. It’s thoughtful, useful, and — when made by local makers — a gift with heart.
Add in a personalised gift tag with a message that means something to both of you. It’s a small touch, but those are often the ones that linger the longest.
Outdoorsy Dads Need Lovely Things Too
Whether he’s hiking the fells or pottering in the garden, the outdoorsy dad will love something that nods to his love for nature. A waxed canvas wash bag is stylish and hardwearing, ideal for weekend escapes or summer camping. Pair it with a set of natural soaps — earthy scents, rugged textures, and all made with skin-loving ingredients.
If you’re gifting from a distance, our Father’s Day gift bundles can be curated with your chosen items, packaged beautifully and delivered straight to his door. And yes — we can handwrite your note, so it still feels personal even if you can’t be there in person.
Thoughtfulness Over Trendiness
Father’s Day isn’t about flashy gifts or ticking boxes. It’s about showing someone that you see them — their routines, their quirks, their hobbies — and choosing a gift that reflects that. When it’s handmade, locally sourced, and chosen with care, it becomes something they’ll treasure long after the day itself.
So, skip the novelty mugs and mass-produced socks. Instead, explore our thoughtful collection of artisan finds and discover a gift that’s as genuine as he is.

Always remember that the greatest gift is time. We don't always have to spend loads of money to show someone how much they mean to you, go on an adventure together, start a new hobby just the two of you, the possibilities are endless if you put a bit of heart into it.
