Dads with a treasured vinyl record player will always appreciate a new addition to their collection, whether it's a hard-to-find first pressing, a classic album that's somehow still missing from their shelves, or a brand-new release by an artist you think they might like as much as you do. Hit up these record shops to dig through the crates and find the right one.

Is cheese for your dad the equivalent of chocolates for your mum? Yes, it absolutely is. Select a nice artisanal cheddar from a traditional cheesemonger, wrap it up nice, and watch your father's eyes light up as he realises he can lay waste to an entire wheel by himself and no one can say anything about it. Best of all, if you've (alright, if WE'VE) misjudged things horribly, you at least get to eat the cheese yourself.

You might not know what you're looking for until you see it, but you're sure to find something suitable, along with the card, wrapping paper, and any other party supplies you might be missing.
