Father's Day surprise gift ideas from rural safaris to axe-throwing

Bored with buying socks and ties for your dad's Father's Day present? Then just imagine how he feels when it comes to unwrapping the usual three-pack combined with your dubious choice of neckwear.

These tried-and-tested options still tend to be among the fall-back gifts for fathers and while useful presents are no doubt always appreciated you can bet there's something inside even the most traditional of dads that yearns for the unexpected. Or even better, an adventure.

A bit of digging around shows there are some exciting ideas out there that might well appeal to those looking to buy something different this year. And if you've left it late in the day to pick a present - bearing in mind that Father's Day is this Sunday, June 19 - then you might find something to suit in our gift guide below.
