With Father’s Day fast approaching, finding the perfect gift can be a challenge — but luckily, St Andrews is packed with brilliant local shops and experiences that make choosing something special a breeze.
BID St Andrews have rounded up some of the best Father's Day gift ideas from local favourites to help you treat the father figure in your life with something thoughtful, memorable, and uniquely St Andrean.
Here’s our curated guide to Father’s Day gifts — all from right here in town:
The Golf Shop of St Andrews
The Deluxe Gift Collection from The Golf Shop of St Andrews is a brilliant Father’s Day option at just £58. You can mix and match a golf cap, ball marker, Old Course towel, and three golf balls in a variety of colours to create a personalised set. It’s a great value bundle for any golf fan, and they also offer gift vouchers if you’d prefer to let Dad choose for himself.
Dune
For a Father’s Day meal that feels like a real treat, Dune serves up fresh, locally sourced seafood in a relaxed, stylish setting. We recommend the Lobster Boil – a generous, flavour-packed dish that’s perfect for seafood lovers. With bold flavours and a touch of luxury, it’s a great way to celebrate the day. Just be sure to book ahead – it’s a popular spot!
Farmore Interiors
A lovely spot for thoughtful and stylish gifts, Farmore Interiors has a charming range of mugs perfect for Father’s Day. We particularly loved the “Mon Père” pear mug – a playful design that adds a personal touch to Dad’s morning coffee. Pair it with his favourite blend for a simple but meaningful gift!
Luvians Bottle Shop
Known for their expert curation, Luvians Battleshop recommends Macallan Scotch Whisky this Father’s Day. With rich notes of fudge, citrus, and soft spice, it’s a smooth and indulgent dram that’s sure to impress. Whether Dad’s a seasoned whisky lover or just beginning his collection, this is a standout choice.
Artery
For something truly unique, Artery stocks a range of funky wire figures that make for a memorable Father’s Day gift. Handmade in Scotland, these striking pieces are crafted using tinned copper wire and precision soldering techniques. Each figure is modelled with impressive attention to detail, using anatomy and skeleton drawings along with real photos to ensure accuracy. They’re a creative and conversation-starting addition to any home or office shelf.
Ostara
For the style-conscious dad, Ostara offers the Swiss Reimagined wallet, crafted from gorgeous vegan leather. Sleek, practical, and thoughtfully designed, it’s a modern take on a classic accessory. With its slim profile and high-quality finish, it’s a gift that blends everyday function with timeless style.
The St Andrews Gift Card
The St Andrews Gift Card is the perfect way to give the gift of choice this Father’s Day. Redeemable at over 60 local businesses- ranging from retail stores to beloved cafés, restaurants, salons, and more- it allows Dad to pamper himself exactly how he wants.
Whether he’s after a relaxed meal, a stylish new accessory, or a spa day, this card saves the guesswork and supports our vibrant local economy.
Available in digital or physical formats, it can be purchased in sums from £5 up to £500, and is accepted at a wide range of establishments across the BID St Andrews region
