This Sunday is the perfect time to show some rare appreciation for the old fella in your life who’s probably put up with more than his fair share of bad behaviour. Yes, it’s Father’s Day, a time when the most a long suffering parent can usually only hope for a pair of novelty socks and a slap on the back.
Well it’s time to pull out the stops this year, with a little helping hand from The MALESTROM. Whether he’s a film buff or a follower of fashion, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect pressie below in our Father’s Day Gift Guide.
The Art of the Batman – £35
One of our favourite films of this year was the spectacular superhero noir The Batman. This brilliant official illustrated tie-in book from Abrams gives all bat-dads out there an insider peek into the film’s production process, showing character, vehicle and gadget designs, background paintings, storyboards and loads more. It all sits alongside original commentary and interviews from the filmmakers, cast, production designer, and artists.
Unibank™ Power Bank – £89.95
Power Banks are hardly new. But this unique little machine sets itself apart from the herd by boasting a great feature that means unlike other similar products, you’ll never be left powerless. The Unibank Power Bank can be charged manually by pulling on a retractable cord, with ninety seconds of pulling enough to give you the power to charge a phone. Invaluable in any survival situation or even a weekend away camping. Along with a built-in LED torch the Unibank offers accessories including: Bluetooth® speaker, Ambient Light, & Laser Measure. All of which can be controlled from an intuitive app.

Adonis London Superfood Moisuriser – £38
The hot summer months can be a nightmare for the male visage. With excessive heat dehydrating skin. So, it’s important for blokes, yes even Dads, to use a good moisturiser. In fact this product from Adonis London is a great one. Their ethos of using ethical, all natural and vegan products, makes for a deeply nourishing moisturiser. Here botanicals like organic pomegranate and green tea help to firm, brighten and hydrate skin.
Not Another Bill Backgammon Roll – £49
Charles Darwin and Winston Churchill were both keen backgammon players, and if it was good enough for two of Blighty’s most famous historical figures, then hopefully it will be for pops. This chic, portable backgammon set is made from canvas that rolls up neatly into a striped bag when your done. For an extra touch of class you can even personalise the leather patch with his name.
Beard & Bones Natural Wooden Comb – £4
For the father with face fuzz. This simple but perfectly formed natural wooden beard comb from Beard & Bones is the perfect addition to any hirsute Dad’s grooming kit. Ideal for adding some fullness and thickness to any beard or keeping an unruly tache firmly in check.
Wu-Tang Forever Vinyl – £43.31
Being old-school, or maybe just old now, we at The MALESTROM have been appreciating the Wu-Tang Clan’s killer cuts for decades. Their double album Wu-Tang Forever is a classic and it’s never sounded better than on 180gram vinyl. The cool Dad in your life will appreciate this one for sure.
BFI Player Subscription – £49
If Dad’s a movie maestro who appreciates the finer things in film, then look no further than a subscription to the BFI Player. There’s rich pickings from around the globe to be found with hundreds of greats to watch on demand like Japanese classic Rashomon and the best of British cinema like Under the Skin.
Serge Denimes Silver Mirage Ring – £119
Serge Denimes makes some seriously stylish silver jewellery. You can’t really go wrong with anything off their site, but we were particularly taken by the Silver Mirage ring – a slightly chunkier version of a classic round signet ring, made from 925 sterling silver with an oxidised finish.
Organic Cotton Noasabi Bandana – £25
You don’t need to be a Cobra Kai fan to appreciate a good bandana. This rather lovely one made from100% organic cotton is hand printed in Kyoto, Japan and comes adorned with some of Snowpeak’s outdoor gear items.
Reiss Cabot Leather Wallet – £48
A great way to pay back the Dad whose been forking out for you all your life is by getting him a stylish wallet. This Cabot wallet from Reiss is crafted from luxurious leather with a stylish grained finish. And even better it holds lots of folding money.

Mr Maserati – Best of Baxter Dury – £21.99
We’ve extolled the virtues of magnificent musician Baxter Dury on many occasions, most recently chatting to the man himself about the sublime best of collection, Mr Maserati. It certainly won’t hurt any dad in the musical style stakes to own a copy of this great record so he can take some notes from this laid back lyrical lothario.
