Collection: Gifts for Dad

Gifts for Dad

Buying gifts for dad shouldn’t feel like assembling flat-pack furniture: confusing, repetitive, and bound to end in mild swearing. And yet, here we are—year after year—wondering what to get the man who insists “Don’t bother.” Thankfully, at Candycrave, we’ve bottled a foolproof formula: retro sweet jars that turn grumbles into grins.

Sweets: the one-size-fits-all solution

Whether your dad is the sentimental sort or the strong-and-silent type, sweets go down well. They’re edible nostalgia. A gift that feels thoughtful but doesn’t try too hard. No DIY kits. No questionably themed socks. Just proper treats he’ll recognise, love, and likely hide from the rest of the family.

Retro favourites he’ll scoff with pride

• Pells Jelly Beans Jar – A riot of colour and fruity flavour. Great for dads who like their snacks sweet, cheerful, and plentiful.
• Pells Liquorice Allsorts – A classic for the grown-up palate. Soft fondants, chewy twists—ideal for the dad who remembers when a quarter of sweets actually cost a quarter.
• Pells Rhubarb & Custard – Tangy, creamy, utterly nostalgic. Gluten free and made to a traditional recipe, this jar suits dads with taste (and opinions).
• Pells Jelly Babies – Soft, sugar-dusted joy. Perfect for the dad who still claims he doesn’t “do sweets” while polishing off the jar.
• Gibbs Edinburgh Rock – Gentle on the teeth but big on flavour. A proper retro classic for the dad who reads broadsheets and pretends not to like dessert.

Whether it's Father's Day, his birthday, or no reason at all

You don’t need a grand occasion to show appreciation. A sweet jar is a brilliant ‘just because’ present. But if you are gift-hunting for something more official, our Gifts for Dad collection is packed with edible gems ready to post. For more ideas, head to our Gifts for Him section and finish the lot in one go.

Sentimental? Funny? Somewhere in between?

From handwritten gift notes to cheeky jar labels, our sweet jars work for every personality type—dads who taught you to ride a bike, dads who just let you learn by crashing, and everything in between. These are unique gifts for dads that don’t gather dust.

FAQs: Because Dads Always Ask Questions

What are the best gifts for dads who say they don’t want anything?

Sweets. Preferably in a lovely reusable jar. It’s personal, practical, and far tastier than another screwdriver set.

Can I personalise my gift?

You can add a gift note, choose a label, or even theme it around his favourite decade. Just the right amount of sentimental without going full poetry fridge magnet.

Sweeten the deal

Whether you’re celebrating Father’s Day, a milestone birthday, or just showing love on a Tuesday, a Candycrave sweet jar is a sure hit. Because when it comes to gifts for dad, nothing beats something he’ll eat without hesitation—and possibly hide from everyone else.
