Father’s Day is a standout date in the calendar each year, as people get excited to show their dads just how much they are appreciated. Gifts are a huge part of this, so you can help shoppers out by adding some delicious presents for Father’s Day to your shelves.
However, dads can be tricky to buy for. Every dad is different, so when it comes to finding Father's Day presents, there can often be plenty of head scratching. Shoppers will appreciate it if you provide them with ample options and give them plenty of gift ideas.
Here at Hancocks, we think that Father's Day sweet gifts are the best way to go. Our range is packed full of delicious gifting options – and these are some of our favourite picks that will help shoppers with their gifting.
One thing plenty of dads will have in common is a love for chocolate. It’s no surprise, because chocolate is so popular! At Hancocks, we have a fantastic selection of jumbo chocolate bars that make wonderful gifts for chocoholic dads!
Our range of bulk chocolate blocks is full of tasty bars that are ideal for sticking on your shelves and advertising as Father's Day presents. Even if they’re not the main present themselves, these are a hugely popular gifting option. Whether you’re sitting down to watch a movie or spending time with family, a block of their favourite chocolate will please any dad out there.
We highly recommend classic bars of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, as well as Aero Mint Chocolate. These are hugely popular bars throughout the year, so shoppers are doubly likely to pick them up as a Father’s Day treat! What about these Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate Bars, too? The first bar that Tony’s ever made, this delicious Fairtrade milk chocolate bar is not only tasty but on a mission for slave-free chocolate! No matter their taste, you can stock a range that caters to all dads, right here at Hancocks.
Plenty of dads out there will have a sweet tooth, and that’s why gift cartons are such popular presents! The fact that you not only get more treats than in a regular packet, but the gift pack also makes everything that bit more special. As the UK’s largest confectionery wholesaler, it will come as no surprise that we have a superb assortment of bulk sweet gift cartons here at Hancocks.
Our range contains everything from boxes of Maynards Bassetts Jelly Babies and Wine Gums through to Swizzels Sweet Shop Favourites. These can help to build the ideal Father’s Day present and are a lovely way to make the gift of sweets even grander.
Obviously, plenty of dads are chocoholics, too. And we’ve got a vast range of the most popular chocolate boxes that make ideal Father’s Day gifts. The Swiss elegance of the Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles is a smart pick for anyone giving a gift – who can resist such a smooth and creamy delight?!
Options from other popular brands will also catch the eye of customers. You can count on the popularity of Cadbury cartons, whilst favourites like Celebrations and Maltesers are also a gifting favourite all year round.
For customers who want to go all out on their sweet gifts, a hamper is a winner. Here at Hancocks, we have a selection of pre-made hampers, as well as all the confectionery that you’ll need to put together your own!
Fans of candy will be excited by our Wonka Nerds Candy Box Hamper. Packed with the best sweets from the Nerds family, these are perfect for fans of American candy. The same goes for the bigger For The Love Of Nerds Large Candy Hamper! Another magical option, the Harry Potter Wizards Mix Sweet Hamper is filled with some of the most iconic treats from the film franchise. Inside there are Chocolate Frogs, Jelly Slugs and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Jelly Beans – there’s even a pair of glasses just like Harry’s!
If you want to make your own hampers, however, you’ll be able to find the aspects you need right here at Hancocks. Obviously we’ve got our stellar range of sweets and chocolates, whilst we also have a brilliant range of accessories that ranges from gift boxes to ribbons.
Another top treat for sweet lovers on Father’s Day is a Candy Cup. These are increasingly popular as they make pick n mix quick and easy – but they’re also an ideal gifting option!
Bonds of London have a wide range of lip-smacking shaker cups that are ideal gifts for any sweet loving dad. From classics, like Pink & White Mice, to exciting Hancocks exclusives such as the Tongue Painters, there’s plenty to choose from. You’ll also find the Just Desserts range, which includes the Chocky Road Mix and Berry Mess Mix, plus they have pick n mix favourites such as Giant Fizzy Cola Bottles and Watermelon Slices. With such a wide range of shaker cups, it’s easy to offer a delicious selection of Father’s Day sweets.
In the build-up to Father’s Day, dads will still be shopping and heading into store like usual. So, offering a tailored range of pick n mix sweets is a fun way to get them excited and treat themselves to some of their favourites.
Retro sweets are an effective way to catch the eye of dads in store. Nostalgic treats like Haribo Rhubarb & Custard and Kingsway Wine Gums are strong choices. Flying Saucers are another great pick as they simply don’t go out of style, whilst any flavour of bon bons will remind dads of the good old times, too. People of all ages enjoy the classics, so there’s no harm in stocking them!
There are some newer treats that’ll go down well, too. Kingsway’s Pint Pots are the ideal sweet accompaniment for a dad who likes a drink! Not only are they fun, but they’re a fruity delight that will go down smoothly. What else do most dads like along with beer? That’s right, football! So add in some Black & White Chocolate Footballs and you’re onto a winner.
