Father's Day was first celebrated in Washington in 1910. It was created by Sonora Smart Dodd to honour her father William Jackson Smart - a Civil War veteran and single parent of six children. It has since been an annual celebration of fathers and father figures and what they contribute to the lives of their children. It is celebrated on a variety of dates across the word, but in many countries including the UK it is observed on the third Sunday in June.
With 2 weeks until the big day, there is still time to choose something special and unique for the father figure in your life. If you are sick of the normal offering of mugs, bottles of beer and slippers then maybe it's time to switch to vintage gifting! We have a fantastic range of vintage for men which can make brilliant gifts and you're also bound to gain some extra brownie points too!
I have rounded up a brilliant range of Father's Day Gifts from our vintage collection to give you a little inspiration so let's dive right in!
This is a great little compact grooming kit in a black faux leather case. Opens up with small hinge to reveal mirror, cologne bottle, clothes/hair brush, plastic comb, soap dish and toothbrush case. Cologne bottle has attractive ribbed glass and the soap dish and toothbrush holder have plastic bottoms and stainless steel lids. This kit is in excellent condition and has only been used lightly, if at all. Outer measurements approx 7.5" x 5" x 2.5".
This classic doctors style bag is in a rich and warm chestnut brown leather. Three large internal compartments and a push-lock closure. The original key is not attached but the case is unlocked.
