Father's Day gift guide — what to give dad for Father's Day 2026
Father's Day is a moment to thank dad, grandpa or an important father figure with something that lasts. The exact date differs from country to country, so check when it falls where you are. In this guide we explain what most fathers actually appreciate, which price range suits which relationship, and which Lundholm gifts — from leather wallets and a backpack to men's jewelry in braided leather or stainless steel — make a thoughtful choice.
When is Father's Day?
Father's Day is not celebrated on the same day everywhere. In a lot of countries it falls on a Sunday in June, while in Germany it coincides with Ascension Day, a Thursday in May. Other countries have their own date again. So before you plan a gift, check the date that applies where the recipient lives — especially if you are sending a parcel abroad.
Father's Day started as a counterpart to Mother's Day and has since grown into its own occasion in most countries. It is an informal day rather than an official public holiday in most places, but it is a day on which children, partners and grandchildren do something kind for the fathers in their lives. A gift is customary, and it is usually something practical that he will actually use.
Which gifts suit dad?
A good Father's Day gift meets three criteria: it is practical (he uses it daily), well made (it lasts for years, not a throwaway gift) and personal (it matches what he wears or how he organizes his day). That is why leather goods are a classic choice: a wallet, a card holder or a work bag gets used every day and stays good-looking over the years. There is a second category as well: men's jewelry — leather bracelets and stainless steel rings with a grown-up design, not young or flashy.
At Lundholm, every leather product is made from high-quality cowhide or supple nappa leather, with RFID anti-skimming protection in the wallets and card holders. The men's jewelry is premium stainless steel with a PVD coating, braided leather or natural stone. Five categories that are given most often for Father's Day:
Gift sets — a complete Father's Day bundle

Men's jewelry for dad
More and more fathers wear something on the wrist or on a finger — a leather bracelet, a wide ring, a stone with meaning. For a long time men's jewelry was hard to find without it looking too young, too flashy or too subtle. Our men's collection focuses on braided leather, premium stainless steel, tiger's eye and lava stone — grown-up designs that can be worn alongside a watch, or that are exactly the right first piece for a father who has never worn jewelry before.
Lars — Braided Leather Black
Braided leather bracelet with a stainless steel clasp. Classic black — sits neatly under a shirt cuff and matches a black leather belt and watch.
€34,95
Lars — Braided Leather Brown
The same Lars bracelet in warm brown leather. Matches brown shoes and a brown belt — a natural pairing with the cognac wallet.
€34,95
Lars — Braided Leather Blue
Lars in dark blue leather. A little younger or sportier — for the dad who also wears jeans and sneakers.
€34,95
Björn — Tiger's Eye Stone Bracelet
Faux leather bracelet with tiger's eye beads. Under €30, with a warm brown sheen.
€27,50

€29,95

Faux leather bracelet with lava stone beads. Matte black stones for a rugged look.
€34,95
Sven — Stainless Steel Link Bracelet
A classic link bracelet, elastic one size, no clasp to fiddle with. Clean black — modern and masculine.

What is RFID anti-skimming protection?
RFID protection is a shielding layer in modern wallets that stops criminals from reading your bank card or passport data wirelessly. Many modern bank cards, contactless transit cards and passports contain an RFID chip that works without contact — convenient when paying, but also a risk in crowded public spaces. A wallet with RFID protection blocks that signal, so only you decide when your card is read.
All Lundholm men's wallets and card holders come with RFID anti-skimming protection as standard — there is no surcharge and it is not a premium option. For dads who travel regularly by public transportation or spend time in cities, it is a feature he probably will not even have to ask for.
Why Lundholm for Father's Day?
How do you choose the right Father's Day gift?
- What does he use daily? Does he carry his wallet in a pants pocket (compact billfold), a chest pocket (slimmer model) or the inside pocket of a jacket (classic size)? Match the dimensions.
- Which leather color matches his shoes and belt? Brown shoes → a brown or cognac wallet, or the Lars bracelet in brown. Black shoes → black leather or the Lars bracelet in black. A mismatch stands out.
- Does he wear jewelry? For fathers who already wear a watch or a bracelet, a braided Lars leather bracelet (€34,95) or the matte Torsten 8mm ring (€29,95) is a natural addition. For fathers who do not yet, but are curious: Björn with tiger's eye (€27,50) is an easy way in.
- Which price range suits the relationship? For a grandchild or a younger relationship, €21–32 (a card holder or the Björn bracelet) is appropriate. For a partner or an adult child, €35–125 (Kopenhagen, Uppsala, a Lars bracelet or the leather backpack) is more common.
- Does he already have everything? For the dad who says “I don't need anything”, a 2-in-1 gift set, a compact card holder or a distinctive piece such as the Ivar spinner ring (Roman numerals, €29,95) is a safe choice — he ends up using something he would never buy himself.
- Does he work with a laptop? A leather backpack with a laptop compartment often replaces an old worn-out bag and gets used every single day.
Frequently asked questions about Father's Day
When is Father's Day?
It depends on where you are. Many countries celebrate Father's Day on a Sunday in June, Germany celebrates it on Ascension Day — a Thursday in May — and several other countries have their own date. Check the date that applies where the recipient lives, especially if the parcel is going abroad.
Why does Father's Day fall on a different date in different countries?
Because the day grew up separately in each country. In most places it developed as a counterpart to Mother's Day and settled on a Sunday, while in Germany it merged with Ascension Day, which always falls on a Thursday. The tradition and the type of gift are broadly similar everywhere — only the date differs.
Do you give a man jewelry for Father's Day?
More and more often — leather and stainless steel bracelets in particular have become more popular among men in recent years. The Lundholm men's collection focuses on grown-up, masculine designs: braided leather (Lars bracelet €34,95), wide rings (Torsten 8mm matte/polished €29,95) and stones with meaning such as tiger's eye (Björn €27,50) and lava stone (Arvid €34,95). For fathers who have never worn jewelry, a leather bracelet is an easy first step that does not feel like 'jewelry' at all — more like an accessory next to his watch.
What is RFID protection and does my father need it?
RFID anti-skimming protection is a shielding layer in a wallet that stops your bank card or passport data from being read wirelessly. It is especially relevant for fathers who travel by public transportation or spend time in urban areas where contactless reading can happen. Every Lundholm men's wallet and card holder has it as standard — at no extra cost.
How much do you spend on a Father's Day gift?
There is no fixed guideline. For a grandchild or younger family members, €20–35 is common (a card holder, the Björn bracelet or an Örebro gift set). For a partner or an adult child giving a joint gift, €50–150 is more usual (a premium wallet or the leather backpack). More important than the amount is that the gift suits him and that he uses it every day.
What is the difference between a billfold and a trifold wallet?
A billfold (also called a bifold) folds once and is slimmer and cleaner — it sits well in an inside pocket or a pants pocket. A trifold folds three times and offers more room for cards, but it is also bulkier. Lundholm focuses on billfold models because they are more comfortable to carry and look more elegant.
What is a good Father's Day gift for grandpa?
For grandpa, practical and meaningful gifts are appreciated most — not necessarily the most expensive option. A Lundholm Örebro card holder (€21,99), a Björn tiger's eye bracelet (€27,50) or a 2-in-1 Örebro gift set (€32,95, in a gift box) all work well: functional, well made and high quality.
When should I order so it arrives in time for Father's Day?
Order a few working days ahead so you have a buffer for any delays at the carrier — the earlier the better. Order before 15:00 CET on a working day and we ship the same day. Bags and leather goods ship within the EU only; jewelry ships worldwide, so allow extra transit time for destinations outside the EU.
