Christmas gifts for Dad are not always easy to find. Here are some suggestions from the 5pm Christmas Gifts page which might fit the bill.

Six thoughtful Christmas gifts for Dad

Much like our suggested Christmas gifts for Mum, we are well aware that not every fella wants to spend his weekend honing his crossbow skills and sharpening his axe-throwing technique.

For some of us, a Champagne spa day with a massage would be just as welcome.

However, here are six Christmas gifts for Dad suggestions which we think would make many a father smile on Christmas morning. Of course, most of them would also fit under the Christmas gifts for boyfriend category.

We have plenty more ideas on our 5pm Christmas Gifts page. And, if you want to look for alternative ideas, you could search by criteria such as gifts for men.

Chateaubriand Steak + Fizz for 2 at The Western Club Restaurant, Glasgow

From sole Bolivar to omelette Arnold Bennett, many great dishes have been named after colourful historical characters.

Surely the most flattering of all is the Chateaubriand steak. it is named after François-René de Chateaubriand, a Vicomte often referred to as the founder of French Romanticism.

Raise a glass to romance with today’s Big Deal on a Chateaubriand for two at The Western Club Restaurant.

The Western Club on Royal Exchange Square has been a Glasgow institution since Regency times. Back when Glasgow was the second city of the Empire, many a local merchant or adventurer would pop in for a little refreshment.

Available Monday to Friday, this £39 Big Deal is for two people to share a Chateaubriand steak with Béarnaise sauce, hand-cut chips, a grill garnish, house salad and a glass of specially selected Western Club Fizz for each diner.

3 Night Stay in 3* Hotel in Copenhagen with Return Flights from Edinburgh Airport – Deposit Required – various dates

Nothing quite livens up the post-Christmas period like a short break in a chic, cultured city with canals, Carlsberg and rainbow-coloured houses.

Copenhagen is easily one of Europe’s prettiest capitals, making it the ideal getaway in January or February. And let’s not forget that it inspired many of Hans Christian Anderson’s tales, including The Little Mermaid.

Couple’s Spa Day with Massage from Spa In The City within 4* Marriott Hotel

‘I hope that someone gets my massage in a bottle’ sang Sting.

We think Sting’s a bit silly really, because everyone knows that the best place to get a massage is in a spa, not a bottle. Ideally, with the other half while you’re both enjoying a sneaky pamper day.

Which is why today’s Big Deal for a Spa Day at the Marriott Hotel would make the perfect Christmas gift for your special someone.

You’ll get a glass of fizz each and full use of the leisure facilities, so you’ll both feel blissed out. Perfect, yes?

Available seven days a week, this Big Deal is for two people to have a spa day with stress-busting massage and full use of the leisure facilities including the gym, pool and sauna.

Choose between a relaxing aromatherapy back massage or a deep tissue treatment – ideal for untangling knotted muscles. Treatment will be in separate rooms. However guests can relax together afterwards in quiet area with bubbly/herbal tea.

The Big Deal costs £43 and is for 2 people to have a couple’s massage with a glass of bubbly or herbal tea afterwards + full use of leisure facilities.

Stay at Knockinaam Lodge, Dumfries and Galloway

‘Is this the most exquisitely located hotel in Scotland?’ pondered The Telegraph’s destination expert when visiting Knockinaam Lodge.

It sounds like it:

‘With a perfectly private beach looking across the Irish Sea, it’s the most relaxing of country house hotels: subtly polished to near perfection but not tiresomely grand. You may feel yourself nodding off, but what a heavenly place to wake up to.’

If there is a man in your life who might appreciate a little post-Christmas peace and quiet, you should set the sat-nav for Knockinaam Lodge.

Get Behind the Wheel with Supercar Drive UK

Much as Santa loves his magic sleigh, he’d secretly swap it for a Lamborghini if he could get away with it (sorry Rudolph).

And that’s because nothing beats sliding into the driving seat of a supercar and feeling the engine roar.
