PR professional and lifestyle influencer Rob Kenny shares his gift guide for Father's Day 2026.
Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be tricky, especially when the man in question insists he "doesn’t need anything". To make your life a little easier, I’ve rounded up a range of thoughtful and practical gift ideas for every budget and every beloved dad ahead of Father’s Day on 21 June.

Ashford Castle
Rob Kenny and his husband in Ashford Castle
My partner and I love to save our pennies and splurge on a big luxurious Irish stay for that big treat. No treat has ever been quite as big as our recent stay at Ashford Castle. The whole two-night stay was so special that we still talk about it many months later. The ambience of the whole place is Irish country charm and warmth, not stuffy or formal. At the same time, no detail is missed by the exceptional staff or breathtaking castle. Easily one of the most impressive on our Emerald Isle.
