Dads famously love a practical gift. No fuss, nothing lavish, and don’t even think about cooking him breakfast.

HexClad 30 cm Hybrid Pan with Lid

Cooking and doing the washing up is simply too much to ask, so this pan will save him the second half of that job thanks to the fact it's dishwasher friendly. Co-created by none other than Gordon Ramsay, this pan blends stainless steel with non-stick ceramic coating, making it ideal for cooking everything from a perfectly-seared steak to some really good scrambled eggs. It heats up faster than you can say HexClad, and I can attest to the fact it's 100% worth the hype.

Le Creuset Cast Iron 2-in-1 Saucepan

When it comes to cookware, it really gets no better than Le Creuset. The lid for this pan is actually... another pan! As a lid, it locks in moisture for braises and stews, but when used separately becomes an enamel pan for even searing. Plus, both can be popped in the oven, or used on the grill or hob.

Fortnum & Mason The Butcher's Breakfast Box

Breakfast is serious business, so if you can't make it home to spend it with him, you might as well send this fancy Fortnum box so he can't start his day right. Loaded with everything from streaky bacon to sourdough bread, this box has the makings of a fry up worthy of a king (which he is, after all).

Borough Kitchen Fermentation and Pickling Cooking Class

Pickles and ferments are the perfect accompaniment to every kind of 'dad' food: burgers, cheese, and even sausages. Instead of stocking his cupboard with store-bought jars, send him off on this cooking class so he can learn how to make his own, inspired by techniques from all around the world. That'll be his Christmas gifts for the next 10 years sorted.

Tojiro Classic Chef's Knife

Tell me this Japanese knife is a blade of beauty. Bet you you can't. Crafted with a curved stainless steel blade, it's ideal for everyday chopping, and can be used to achieve a razor-thin slice on anything from fish to vegetables.

Bloom & Wild The Cheese & Nibbles Hamper

There's not a man who doesn't love cheese. As well as giving him his own farmhouse cheddar to snack on, this box comes with all the accoutrements for many an astounding charcuterie board to come, including crackers, honey-mixed nuts, chutney, and salami sticks.

Knoops Hot Chocolate Flakes

If he's a nightly hot choccy lover, there's none better than Knoops. Rather than a clumpy, weak powder, it uses flakes that melt into a silky concotion Willy Wonka would be proud of. So it's *just right* Knoops has a generous selection of cocoa........
