On this page, we have collected our most popular and unique gifts for dads of all ages.
14 tips for a personal gift for dad on Father’s Day
Since you’ve landed here, you’re probably one of those people still looking for gift ideas for Father’s Day. But today you’re in luck, because you found us – Truestory – and we know everything about giving a gift to the one who has everything; even to a dad who says “he doesn’t want anything”.
Just for you, we have dedicated some of our time to gather inspiration and gift tips for Father’s Day this year, and why we think experience gifts are the best gift to give dad.
1. Gift voucher for skydiving or wind tunnel
Give your father some perspective and send him on an experience in the clouds – literally! He certainly won’t expect to have one of these crazy experiences, but a tough guy like your dad is unlikely to say no to such an adventure. This is just as cool a Father’s Day gift to give to a 40-year-old dad as it is to a 60-year-old!
2. Beer tasting
Some fathers never let go of their dream of starting their own brewery in the basement. No matter what kind of beer your father prefers, we recommend spoiling him on Father’s Day with a wonderful beer tasting. Then he can try several different types of beer, get an exciting tour of the brewery and production, and probably learn something new! Fits perfectly well for a dad in his 50s.
3. Car & driving experience on track
Surprise your dad on Father’s Day with an experience full of adrenaline, speed and fun! Let him test his driving skills on a car slalom on the ice track at Geilo, or give him a taste of the feeling of driving a McLaren in Formula 1 in the racing simulator.
4. Gift voucher for massage
A gift card for a massage or spa treatment is a perfect Father’s Day gift for a dad who deserves a little extra luxury in his everyday life. Perhaps he has stuck around to help with the renovations at home, or done an exceptional job as a new dad? A massage, spa day or a spa treatment is a great first Father’s Day present.
5. Snowmobile safari for couples at Geilo
A romantic nature experience meets the snowmobile scene from Die Hard 2 – for a tough guy with a soft heart. The perfect Father’s Day gift for him who loves both action and nature experiences!
6. Wine tasting
Although many dads prefer beer, there are still some who prefer wine and champagne. A nice gift for Father’s Day, and especially for a dad with a full wine cabinet, is an atmospheric wine tasting or bubbly tasting.
7. RIB safari in the Oslofjord
Has your father sat on a RIB at full speed before? It is an absolutely raw experience! When this powerful boat reaches 50 knots, it is as if it is flying above the surface of the water. On a RIB safari you get to see and experience the Oslofjord in a completely new way, with a guide who tells exciting stories along the way.
8. Whiskey tasting at Underbar
For a dad who loves whiskey, an educational whiskey tasting is the perfect gift to give for Father’s Day. And for a whiskey enthusiast, UnderBar in Oslo is perhaps the best place to go, because over 550 bottles of different types of whiskey await here!
9. Indoor ice climbing at SNØ
Is your dad fond of physical challenges such as climbing, glacier hiking or long ski trips? Then ice climbing is a cool experience he should have with him. How about surprising him with a course in ice climbing as a gift, with experienced instructors at SNØ, just outside Oslo?
Here he can test this wild sport in one of the world’s highest indoor ice walls, the Mammoth Wall, which is a whopping 10 meters wide and 15 meters high.
10. Tour and tasting at HIMKOK
Do you know HIMKOK? This “hidden” cocktail bar in the middle of Oslo city center captured 17th place on the international top list “The World’s 50 Best Bars”. So for a dad who wants his own cocktail set, or for him who likes high-quality cocktails and spirits, a taste experience at HIMKOK is the perfect gift for Father’s Day.
11. A gourmet dinner in the wilderness
12. Coffee course & coffee tasting
Coffee tasting is a great Father’s Day gift for a dad who has his own monthly budget for coffee! Among others, Solberg & Hansen in Oslo and Pala Kaffebrenneri in Trondheim offer coffee tastings with different types of coffee. Here your father can learn more about coffee, and maybe find a new favourite?
13. Musk safari in Norway
Musk safari is an unforgettable experience in Norwegian nature, and a wonderful Father’s Day gift that you will probably look forward to giving him! Give him a musk safari in Dovrefjell, or for the photo enthusiast: An exclusive photo safari with your own guide and photographer who shares his best tips.
14. Gift vouchers for 250+ experiences in Norway
Still not sure what to give? Go for the “Truestory Gavekortet”, an open gift card that can be used for all our experience gifts. This is the ultimate Father’s Day gift, because you choose the amount yourself, and your dad can choose the experience(s) he wants to go on.
