Fathers Day

A Celebration of Character - Choosing a Father’s Day gift is more than ticking a box—it’s a chance to acknowledge the quiet heroism and individuality of the men we love. Art, craft, and design allow us to go beyond cliché and offer something meaningful. Whether it’s a handcrafted box, a striking artwork, or a simple bar of soap that reminds him he’s worth the pampering—every piece in our Father’s Day collection is chosen with care.

Honouring Fatherhood Through Art: Thoughtful Father’s Day Gifts from Water Street Gallery

Father’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s an opportunity to recognise the fathers, grandfathers, husbands, and role models who shape our lives with strength, warmth, and guidance. Whether you’re celebrating a dad who’s your rock, a partner who shares the parenting journey, or a grandfather whose stories echo through generations, a thoughtful gift speaks volumes. At Water Street Gallery, we believe art and craft have the power to communicate that appreciation in ways words sometimes can’t. This Father’s Day, we’ve curated a collection that’s meaningful, unique, and full of character—just like the men we’re honouring.

Art and Photography

Celebrate his appreciation for storytelling, beauty, and form with a gift of original art. From the poetic narrative realism of Qi Fang Colbert to the quirky and ironic Beanpole Chronicle prints by Paul Czainski, our collection offers work that’s thought-provoking and unforgettable. For those who favour sculptural or timeless aesthetics, Bryony Rich’s raku vessels and bold ceramic art by Drew Cairns make powerful additions to any space. Let your gift reflect a shared moment, a favourite place, or simply the joy of discovery.

Mugs and Things

Functional can still be fantastic. Our range of mugs, flasks and tableware strike the perfect balance of everyday use and standout design. Repeat Repeat’s ceramic mugs paired with LIGA’s eco-friendly beach-clean cork coasters bring style to morning routines. Add a Shared Earth copper flask for a luxe desk upgrade, or gift a Jane Revitt Todmorden map apron for the barbecue-loving dad. And for the chef in him, our Bio Farm Trading tagines and olive wood utensils from Natural Med bring Mediterranean charm to any outdoor feast.

Cards and Books

A message from the heart deserves the right canvas. Our curated Father’s Day cards range from witty to heartfelt, with artistic flair that makes them worth keeping. For literary dads, Paul Czainski’s accompanying book to his “Beanpole Chronicle” prints is both imaginative and sharp—perfect for readers with a love of the unusual. Combine a card with a book to craft a moment of reflection and connection, letting him know he’s truly seen and appreciated.

Wallets and More

Understated, practical, and full of character—our wallets and accessories are ideal for the man who values thoughtful design with a story. From clever craftsmanship to sustainable materials, these gifts combine everyday function with refined flair. Joe Davis’s graffiti-inspired bulldogs make a bold statement too—crafted from heavyweight resin and boxed for gifting, each hand-finished piece bursts with street-art energy and unique colour, perfect for dog lovers or anyone who enjoys playful design. If you’re unsure what to pick, our attractively packaged gift cards offer the freedom to choose from contemporary art, stylish accessories, or handcrafted homeware. For a sustainable option, the Paguro range of wallets and accessories—made from recycled inner tubes—delivers rugged durability with minimalist edge. Pair one with a distinctive keyring, like Pewter Pins, Chain Mail loops, or cork styles by LIGA, for a thoughtful gift made to last.

3D Art / Craft

If you’re after something really different, explore our collection of crafted objects that bring wonder and conversation into the home. Hollytree Woodcraft’s handmade wooden boxes are as practical as they are beautiful, each featuring a secret drawer and made from ethically sourced Scottish hardwoods. The Gingko crystal lights—featuring intricate laser-etched Stags, Skulls, or even the Solar System—add a cosmic glow to any study or workspace. These are gifts with presence—ideal for dads who appreciate craftsmanship and a touch of the unexpected.

Under £20

Great gifts don’t have to break the bank. Our under £20 range includes English Soap Company bars with rich sandalwood or amber scents, and Captain Fawcett’s classic grooming products, perfect for those who take pride in their beard or moustache. These little luxuries can be paired with a card or added to a hamper for a personal, curated feel. It’s often the smaller, everyday items that get used and appreciated most.
