Gifts for Dads Under £50
Things he’ll actually enjoy, eat, and talk about afterwards
Buying a gift for a dad is can be tricky as usually they don’t want for much. However, over the last year, thousands of people have posted race reviews of Serious Pig gifts after sending them to fathers, fathers-in-law, grandads and assorted men who “don’t want anything”.
Patterns emerge. Certain Serious Pig hampers get mentioned again and again for the same reasons – generous, unfussy, and of reassuring quality.
Below are the gifts under £50 that consistently land well, backed by real customer reviews.
The safe bet (that doesn’t feel boring)
The Serious Selection Box
If you only pick one thing, make it this.
It’s our most-reviewed gift box, and for good reason. A proper spread of pub snacks containing an entire range.
Why dads like it:
The variety! They’ll be talking about it into next year (we’re sorry).
For the dad who likes a pint (or three)
Serious Pig & Guinness Gift Set
This one does exactly what it says on the box.
Guinness, paired with snacks that actually work with it, not just happen to sit nearby. It’s one of our highest-rated beer gifts, and reviews consistently mention how “complete” it feels.
Why dads like it:
It recreates the pub experience at home, without needing to go anywhere or speak to anyone.
Serious Pig & BrewDog Beer Gift Set
A slightly more modern take on the same idea.
BrewDog beers with Serious Pig snacks make this a popular choice for dads who still like discovering new things, but don’t want anything experimental enough to be risky.
Why dads like it:
Familiar brands, but still feels current.
Serious Pig & Beavertown Beer Gift Box
For the dad who enjoys beer but doesn’t feel the need to discuss it at length.
This one quietly over delivers – solid beers, proper snacks, great price.
For the food-first dad
Cheese Selection Box
Not every dad wants beer. Some just want something to graze on.
Our cheese boxes consistently review well as gifts, often mentioned alongside phrases like “ate it all” and “went back for more”.
Why dads like it:
High-protein, savoury, and perfect for snacking without committing to a full meal.
Charcuterie Selection Box
This one punches above its weight.
It has fewer reviews than some of the big hitters, but the ratings are exceptional. People tend to buy it for dads who enjoy hosting, or at least pretending they do.
Why dads like it:
It makes the fridge feel interesting.
For dads who like something a bit different
Pickle Selection Box
Not for everyone. Precisely why it works.
Pickle fans are devoted, and when people buy this as a gift, they tend to mention how unexpectedly popular it was.
Why dads like it:
Sharp, crunchy, properly moreish. Also excellent with beer.
Under £50, without feeling underwhelming
Every gift above sits comfortably under £50, but more importantly, none of them feel like a compromise. The reviews make that clear. People aren’t saying “good for the price”. They’re saying “he loved it”, “would buy again”, and “wish I’d kept one for myself”.
Which, frankly, is what you want.
If you’re still unsure, start with the Serious Selection Box or a Guinness gift. They’re the ones people come back to – and recommend to other people buying gifts for dads.
That’s usually a good sign.
