With the big day being just around the corner, now is the time to stock up on gorgeous gifts to help your customers find the perfect present for their dads, to help celebrate their special relationship on Sunday 16th June.
Luckily for you, we hold major licenses with some of the UK’s biggest and best-loved brands, so you’re bound to find something from our wide range of gifts and homewares that’ll be just perfect for every gift giving occasion – especially this Father’s Day!
Willow Tree:
Like all Willow Tree figurines, artist Susan Lordi hand-carves the original figure from her studio in Kansas City, Missouri. The pieces are then cast from her original carvings, with the figurines communicating their expression through gesture only. A simple tilt of the head or placement of hand allows the sculptures to speak in quiet ways.
We think this figurine is perfect for Dad’s celebrating their very first Father’s Day in 2019. Named ‘New Dad’, it features a male figure sitting down, cradling a baby in the small of his lap, head titled down as if gazing in wonder at his newborn child.
Of her work, Susan Lordi says: “"I try to keep the interpretation of Willow Tree open. I hope this makes it more personal, and allows the viewer to decide its meaning." We think ‘New Dad’ is an extremely powerful piece, perfectly capturing the unconditional love and unbreakable bond between a father and his child.
As well as this figurine, other items are available, which would be ideal for older children to gift to their dad on Father’s Day. Don’t forget to take a look at That’s My Dad and Father and Daughter.
Sharon Nowlan:
The Sharon Nowlan Collection uses nature as inspiration for immortalising precious moments in life. For Sharon, it all started with a handful of pebbles; her son collected some at the beach one day and brought them to her in her studio. They were like little treasures and she knew she had to make something special with them.
Years later, Sharon is still using pebbles in her creations, carefully crafting them into framed scenes in a simple, yet beautiful style, that say a lot with as little as possible – the art speaks to the heart and is open to interpretation by each person admiring her work, making them a very attractive and highly personal gift.
We just adore this piece called ‘How Does Your Garden Grow’. Reminiscent of nursery rhymes your customers’ fathers may have sang to them as a small child, this framed piece depicts the scene of a male figure pushing a wheel barrow while tending to his garden – a perfect present if your customers’ dads have green fingers!
Disney Traditions by Jim Shore:
Your customers can’t help but remember the iconic scene from Disney’s The Lion King, where Simba, and his father Mufasa, run through the wilds of the African savannah. Imparting his worldly wisdom, Mufasa turns to his son and says…
“Everything the light touches is our kingdom. A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.”
If your customers’ dads are just as wise as Mufasa and have helped to show them the ways of the world, gently guiding them through life, then this lovely figurine from Disney Traditions by Jim Shore will be the perfect present on Father’s Day.
Named ‘A Father’s Pride’, it features Mufasa and Simba as a lion cub playing together in the grass, with the young lion resting on his father’s back, and the lion king gazing up lovingly at his son, with his eyes full of pride.
Each figurine in the Disney Traditions collection reveals Shore’s artistry and skill, not only in capturing the essence and magical qualities of each Disney character, but also enhancing in his own unique American folk art-inspired way through his attention to detail and hand-painted finishes.
Enchanting Disney:
Is your customer’s dad the head of an ‘incredible’ household? Is he the glue that holds everything together? Is he a superhero in his children’s eyes? If so, this piece from Enchanting Disney is quite literally an incredible gift for Father’s Day.
Featuring the family from Municiberg each with their own special powers in an epic battle of good versus evil, the ‘Everyone Is Special’ figurine carries a lovely sentiment for your customers to share with their dad, grandparents and other father figures in their lives.
Disney Showcase:
And last but my no means least… Howdy Partner! There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s just waiting to come home with your customers to be gifted to their dads this Father’s Day! This fantastic piece from our Disney Showcase Collection features everyone’s favourite cowboy from the smash-hit Disney Pixar franchise Toy Story. As the song from the movies go, You’ve got a friend in me, and what better way for your customers to show their dad this Father’s Day just how much that special friendship between father and child means to them?
