Father's Day!

It's soon to be Father's Day and we know that some dads are tricky to shop for. What on earth are you going to buy him? The usual box of chocolates that he demolishes within a few minutes? Or something a little more long lasting?

We've picked out a few lovely things that might just do for your dad. Take a look!

For the dapper dad


This one is for the dad who always likes to look smart - or maybe needs a hint to dress up a little bit more often. This Penguin shirt is great for all occasions.

For the "turn the heating off" dad


Dads are great at complaining about the heating being on, but they're also great at complaining about being cold when we turn it off. So this Ted Baker jumper is great for the dads who want to save their money but also preserve their body heat when it gets cold. Everybody wins.

For the "builder's bum" dad


We know that you're getting tired of yelling "get a belt!" as your dad bends down to tie his shoelaces. Make it easier for him and just get one yourself, this Diesel one is pretty nice!

For the holiday dad


Is your dad at his happiest when he's relaxing on a beach, or floating around in the sea? Get him prepared for this summer's shenanigans with some Penguin swim shorts that you can guarantee won't be embarrassingly short for your dad.

For the tech-savvy dad


Some dads are really with it when it comes to technology. Or some just have to carry their laptop around a lot for work. Give him something super stylish to keep his tech in and keep him happy as Larry. This Ted Baker laptop bag is pretty cool, we think.

For the "tacky cufflinks" dad


If the only cufflinks your dad owns are tacky and just a joke, it's time to take things a step up and buy him some really nice ones. At the other end of the scale, if he loves his posh cufflinks then these will be perfect for him, but they won't break your bank account either.

For the "always late" dad




Make sure he's never late again with a lovely watch like this one from Storm. Great to wear at any time of the day, he can keep track of time at work and home alike.

If none of these things are quite what you're looking for, head on over to our website and have a browse at whatever it is you're after.

Timberland


Kids are great, right? We understand that they can sometimes be difficult to dress though. Finding something that they'll be comfortable wearing all day can be a pain, especially now that it's getting warmer in the summer and holidays are coming around. Kids need something that's cool and comfortable, so we may have a solution for your little tots.

The subject of today's meeting (not really a meeting, just a blog post actually), is boyswear. We've got everything you need to sort out your little one for the summer, so don't panic. We're talking everything from shorts to sandals, headgear to tees.


It's important to protect little heads from the heat of the sun, the last thing you want is sore, burnt skin. A cap is a great idea to shade the face too, not to mention that this one is really cool and stylish - it even matches the shorts below! You can pick one up here and you can even get it in red too!


Shorts are an essential for lovely weather like this, or if you're planning on jetting off somewhere hot. These ones are so comfortable and soft that your little boy won't complain, even in the heat. They're available to buy here.


Swim shorts are even more essential, especially for those who are off abroad. Have your child be the most stylish boy in the pool with these lovely colour blocked swim shorts that you can buy here.



Obviously sandals are a must, there's no fun in walking around with sweaty shoes and socks on all day! Let your child's feet breathe with some brightly coloured Splashtown Sandals that will be as comfortable as they look. Perfect for strolling through the park with ice creams or walking down to the beach. 


Complete the wardrobe with a casual, comfortable vest with contrasting colours that will really keep him cool on those roasting days. Just make sure to cover him in sun cream first - we don't want anyone to get burnt! Like it? Get one here.

Check out all of the Timberland boyswear that we offer on our website right here and get your kids sorted for this gorgeous summer weather!

Converse


Converse are exactly right, sneakers are exactly what we need right now - but not just any sneakers! Abandon all your old,  boring shoes and check out these awesome new Converse available from our website!


If you love all things silver, we've got you covered with some gorgeous converse that will match all your favourite pieces of jewellery - now you can be fully coordinated from your head to your feet! Pull these on with a casual dress to really keep things cool, or a classic pair of jeans to keep things extra casual and comfortable. Basic has never been so funky. Pick some up for yourself here.


We all love tie-dye, we can't escape how cool it is. Jazz up your feet with some snazzy patterns that take things a step up from plain, block colours. Fancy getting some for yourself? Here you go, click right here and pick some up.


Aww, how cute are these?! Tie-dye is even cuter on little feet, and these hi-tops are just adorable. We love the pretty pinks and purples, while the ruffles on the tongue just really set these apart from anything we've seen before. Can't resist? Neither can we. Get some here.


So what about the boys? They haven't been left out, don't panic. Skip the tie-dye and check out these cool zips! We know, they're amazing. Gotta have them? It's okay, we understand. You can buy them here.




Liu Jo and Exclusive Discount Code!

You know how much we love Liu Jo, it's pretty hard not to and we're sure you agree - we know Kate Moss does. Check out their advert in Grazia that we're loving, how gorgeous does Kate look?


We've always dreamed of looking as stylish as Kate Moss, and now you can do!

Sometimes the most simple things are the best - this Stirling Blue colour is just stunning. Pick one of these up here, and since this one is smaller it's perfect to take from daytime to evening.

Cruyff Trainers


Who needs new shoes? You do! Okay men, don't panic. Swap your old, battered trainers that let all the rain in for some brand new, shiny ones that are going to last you for a long time. Don't worry, we'll make this simple for you. 

Who can resist a good, comfortable trainer? Not us. Check out these stylish and comfortable ones from Cruyff. Never heard of them? Well that's going to change when they become your new favourite brand. 


These are the Santi trainers. Suave, right? Easy to pull on for your everyday shenanigans but also fun to dress up. The combination of suede and patent leather just contrasts beautifully, with the gorgeous embroidered Cruyff logo to finish it off. Snazzy stuff. Pair with your favourite shirt and some classic skinny jeans and you're set for day or night.


Looking for something more casual? These Vicenzo trainers look a little bit more daytime focused. The contrasting colours ensure that they're not boring though - so don't be scared of having dull shoes. We can't lie, these look so comfortable that us ladies kind of want some for ourselves. We love them in white, too.


Maybe if you want something a little brighter, the contrasting red on these Recopa trainers really catches your eye, while the navy quilting keeps things nice and simple. We're thinking ultimate comfort and durability, so you can pair them with everything from your jeans to your joggers - maybe even crack out your shorts on a warmer day!


Sometimes you need something a bit smarter, but not too dressy. For those of you who are partial to a bit of black (well, it does go with everything!) and need something that doesn't look too fancy but is a little bit more than a casual trainer, the Pelota trainers do just the job. Patent really does dress things up a little.

So men, next time you need (or maybe just want) some new shoes, remember to grab yourself some Cruyff trainers! Or perhaps ladies, do you know a man who could really do with getting rid of some old, smelly trainers? Cruyffs would be the perfect replacement and a lovely gift! And because we all love a bargain, remember that there's 10% off your first order with us on our website and free delivery on all orders over £65 (or free delivery to one of our stores no matter how much you spend!) so you can really get yourself a good deal.

Check out all our Cruyff trainers on our website here, or if that isn't your cup of tea you can browse all men's footwear right here.
