Losing your dad leaves a space that nothing truly fills, and the memories will last a lifetime. Our in memory of Dad gifts are tailored to give his name, his photo, and the words you’d like to say a lasting place to rest. Our options to these personalised memory gifts range from graveside memorials and memory boxes to photo lamps, remembrance candles and engraved frames. Each one can be made and tailored to the name that you called him, whether that be Dad, Daddy, Father ,Pops, or another name you’d address him by.

Each gift is personalised in our UK workshop, most of them with his name and dates, and many coupled alongside your favourite photo with him. If you’re planning on sending this specific gift to someone who’s lost their dad, we can deliver this without the price or invoice. Our wider ranges of memorial keepsake boxes and graveside memorial plaques include more designs which can be personalised to suit a dad.

Dad Remembrance Gifts to Keep His Memory Close

Whether you’re looking to buy something for Dad’s grave, for the mantelpiece, or looking for a place to keep things that were his, our range has you covered:

  • Graveside Memorials for Dad: Weather-resistant pieces for a grave or memorial garden. Choose from a hand-painted lavender heart stone, a “Forever in Our Hearts” butterfly grave stake and 15cm square stone plaques printed with his photo. There’s also a 20cm slate heart that hangs on a jute rope.
  • Memory Boxes for Dad: Wooden keepsake boxes for his watch, letters and photographs. Sizes run from a 16cm vintage dandelion box to a large 30 x 20 x 13cm engraved box, and many carry his photo on the lid.
  • Lamps, Lights and Candles: A USB-powered LED lamp of about 22cm with his dates, and photo night lights of about 18cm. There are also photo lanterns printed on all four sides and frosted glass candles with around 80 hours’ burn time.
  • Photo Frames for Dad: Oak-finish and white wooden frames engraved with remembrance verses, in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 photo sizes. There’s also a double 6x4 frame and a solid oak book frame that opens like a page.
  • Albums, Scrapbooks and Guest Books: Slip-in albums for 50 or 100 photos, 22cm linen book-bound albums and wooden guest books that work as a scrapbook too. These are often filled with messages at the funeral and kept afterwards.
  • Glass, Acrylic and Plaque Keepsakes: A 15cm jade glass heart and a 10cm acrylic photo heart, both in silk-lined gift boxes. The range also includes engraved glass plaques and “Sorry for Your Loss” photo plaques.

For the days that remind you of him and bring him to mind most, there are also Christmas memorial hearts and father-of-the-bride wedding frames available in our store.
