Christmas gifts for a girl dad
Christmas is when the slogan tat sells hardest, so this is the antidote. A run of presents for the dad in the house, from a few quid in the stocking up to the one proper gift, picked so you can order in good time and still have it land well on the day.

A personalised “best dad” ornament
83Dad ScoreA wooden bauble with the year and the girls’ names, the kind that comes out every December and quietly turns into a family ritual. A few quid that lasts decades.
Posh hot chocolate and two mugs
81Dad ScoreReal flaked chocolate and a pair of mugs for a Christmas Eve film with his daughter. Small, warm, and exactly the kind of evening this whole site is about.
A grow-with-her board game
84Dad ScoreA modern family game that works from about five upwards, so it survives a few Christmases. Beats the dusty old set nobody finishes, and it gets everyone off their phones.
Matching Christmas pyjamas
79Dad ScoreA his-and-hers set for the inevitable Christmas morning photo. Daft, yes, but she will want them every year and you will be glad of the picture.
A leather wash bag, monogrammed
85Dad ScoreThe one bigger gift on the list. Good leather with his initials, ready for the weekends away he keeps meaning to plan. Something he keeps and uses, not re-gifts.
A year of father-daughter dates, printed
82Dad ScoreA little book or card set of twelve simple things to do together, one a month. Costs almost nothing and gives him the nudge to actually book the days he talks about.
Questions, answered
When should I order Christmas gifts for a girl dad?
Personalised items, the ornaments, mugs and leather, are the ones that sell out and take longest to make, so order those by late November. The rest you can leave later, but earlier is calmer.
What is a good cheap Christmas gift for a dad of girls?
A personalised bauble, posh hot chocolate with two mugs, or a printed set of father-daughter date ideas all come in under £25 and land far better than another pair of novelty socks.
