Building your own Dad-to-be gifts should be fun and meaningful – not a last-minute scramble. It’s a lovely way to surprise him with something he’ll truly enjoy, just as he’s about to start the most exciting chapter of his life.
Whether you’re putting together a first Father’s Day gift for your partner or looking for something special for your son as he approaches fatherhood, nothing says “you’ve got this” like a hamper filled with proper Cornish treats. Think hearty pasties, buttery scones, local craft beers, or a rustic cheese board gift that’s guaranteed to go down a treat.
No socks. No slogan mugs. Just delicious, hand-picked goodies that celebrate his first Father’s Day in the best way.
Gift Ideas to Build From
Here’s how to build your own hamper around what he loves most:
🧀 A Cheese Board Gift for a Chill Dad Moment
Pile in some creamy Cornish brie, bold camembert, a jar of chutney, and a stack of crackers. Maybe a jar of sweet pickled cucumber or a bottle of cider if he fancies it. Perfect for grazing on a slow Sunday afternoon or snacking through his favourite boxset.
🥟 Proper Comfort with a Pasty & Cream Tea Combo
For the guy who loves hearty food and a sweet finish, this combo hits the spot. Add a couple of chunky pasties, fluffy scones, strawberry jam, and rich clotted cream. It’s a hug in a box, and a guaranteed favourite.
🍺 Beer & Bites for a Relaxed Dad Day
You can’t go wrong with a cold brew and a warm pasty. Add a few locally brewed beers, a pack of saffron buns, and a chocolate pasty and you’ve got one of those great presents for dad that feels laid-back but still thoughtful.
Make Dad’s Day Feel Like a Treat
Whatever mix you choose, building your own hamper means you can tailor it to his taste. It’s more than just a box of snacks, it’s a reminder that he’s appreciated, supported, and loved.
Whether it’s for Dad Day, a birthday, or just because, these dad-to-be gifts make gifting easy, meaningful, and full of flavour.
