For dad, grandad, and whoever taught you to drive
The trouble with Father's Day is that he says he does not want anything and, unusually, means it. A notebook gets used, which is more than can be said for most of what changes hands in June, and the covers here give it a reason to be his and nobody else's: the title he has spent twenty years earning, the thing he disappears to do on a Saturday drawn across the foot of the cover, or the flat statement that this particular book belongs to him.

The titles, and the definition
Dad and Grandad each come three ways. World's best is the mug line, set properly and engraved into the leather. Best ever is the verdict in the biggest type the cover will take, with the name under a rule, which saves anybody having to say it out loud at a barbecue. The dictionary entry gives the word its pronunciation and its part of speech and then leaves the meaning for you to write, which is the part he will read twice. Every role here is an editable word, so a Stepdad, a Pops, a Papa or a Grandpa gets the same cover with the right title on it.
Whatever he does with his Saturday
Several of these are a drawing across the base of the cover with his name set above it, and no message anywhere: a golfer mid-swing on the fairway with the flag waiting on the green; a shirt, a ball, boots, gloves, a whistle and a set of shinpads; a campervan parked by a river with pines and hills behind it; a tent, a campfire and a shooting star over the mountains. The cook at the stove with a mixing bowl is for the one who has opinions about knives. The picture is the whole design, so there is no slogan for him to be embarrassed by.
The plainest thing on the site
Property of puts his name on the cover and nothing else at all: no occasion, no message and no drawing. It is the one for a man who would rather not be given a card either. The name and monogram cover is its slightly smarter cousin, with the initials cut large and the full name beneath. Pick either when the present is the notebook itself and the engraving is only there to stop it wandering off, which for a lot of people is exactly the right amount of sentiment.
Father's Day falls on a Sunday and nothing here is made until you order it, so the weekend before is too late and the week before that is fine. We do not promise a date on this page; the carriers publish their own, and ours would only be a guess. How long dispatch and delivery take is set out on Delivery and returns.
