Crack open the dad jokes… Father's Day is coming on Sunday 20th June! Whether you are buying for the Old man, Pop, Pa, or Dad, Father's Day marks the recognition of fathers and father figures for all they do. Plus, it is a nice excuse for them to put their feet up and enjoy a well-earned rest!
Father's Day is always held on the third Sunday of June and is recognised in over 100 countries. It originally started in America in 1910 and it entered British culture sometime after the Second World War.
In these strange times, it's more important than ever to celebrate with our families and friends whenever we can. Whether you live the other side of the world or just around the corner from your loved ones, let's show our Dads, Step-Dads, Uncles or Grandads alike how much we appreciate them.

Whether he is a foodie, a bit of a clown, a classic gent or sentimental at heart, Interparcel are here to help send your gift quickly and safely in time for the big day!
