Father’s Day gift guide 2022

Thursday, 2 June 2022

Did anyone else blink at Christmas and now we’re almost half way through 2022?? Honestly not sure where the time has gone but here I am to show you my Father’s day ideas if you are struggling with what to buy, I hope I give you some inspiration.

Hally Hensen

My Husband and Dad have always got a good sized wish list for Helly Hansen. We find the quality is unmatched. My Dad has items that are older than me from his days in the service that are still going strong.



When you couple the world of outdoor with a casual leather upper you get a winning combination of style, and performance. The Highland Boot feature waterproof nubuck leather with HH Pro Guard toe and heel-cap, and marrying that with fully sealed seams you have a very well protected upper. 

The Midsole features a power stride compound for great cushioning, whilst the max comfort insole adds to the comfort. The outsole has been designed with surround grip system, and we combine that with the Helly Hansen max grip rubber compound for superior grip.

Available in black, whisky & coffee bean and sizes 6.5 - 12.5.

Priced at £77 - currently on sale from £110.






Your Dad can have limitless sunny adventures in this Solen T-shirt, with 50+ UPF protection and lightweight, wicking LIFA® Active fabric.

Designed to keep him dry and sun protected on those hot summer days, this t-shirt is ideal for any adventure with long sun exposure, including sailing, spring skiing, hiking and beyond. As a part of the Solen collection, it combines high-performance wicking fabric, LIFA® ACTIVE, which moves moisture away from your skin, and planet-friendly S.Café® technology which infuses the T-shirt fabric with used coffee grounds, boosting the 50+ UPF sun protection. Not only is it chemical-free sun protection, it’s quick-dry, odor-resistant and it will never wash out. This T-shirt is also made from 60% recycled polyester – another win for you and the environment.

Buy-a-gift experience voucher.



Is our Dad ready for a once-in-a-lifetime driving experience? With this voucher he can take the wheel of a huge monster truck called the 'Grizzly' and unleash the full potential of a quad bike. After a briefing on safety with an instructor, he will hit the track and take on both courses for an exhilarating thrill. 

After climbing up into the driver's seat and get strapped into an iconic American monster truck he will have a starter lap to get warmed up before learning to reverse park. Next he will be challenged to power over a duo of saloon cars! The fun continues when he climbs into the saddle of a quad bike and puts it through its paces on the course. Tackling the tricky obstacles and facing the ultimate challenge!
