Looking for a Father’s Day gift he’ll genuinely use? These comfy, cool flip flops are perfect for summer, and come with a handy built-in bottle opener
My dad, like most dads, is incredibly hard to buy for, so Father’s Day is always a stressful time for me. I know he’d be annoyed at me spending my money on something he didn’t want, and at the same time, I don’t want to get nothing at all.
So when I spotted these genius flip flops from REEF, I knew they’d be a crowd-pleaser for (most) dads. What makes these so fun and different from a normal pair of flip flops is that they actually have a hidden bottle opener in the sole of the foot. Yes, really.
The Fanning Flip Flops are the OG shoe design of the brand, and they were originally designed with legendary surfer Mick Fanning in mind.
They’ve got a super cushioned footbed, complete with a hidden airbag underfoot for extra support, as well as soft padded straps, and the ultimate bonus: a built-in bottle opener on the sole.

Of course, cologne is always a winner, BOSS Bottled Eau de Toilette, priced at £47 for 30ml, is always a safe bet. As is a beard trimmer like this Panasonic one from Amazon, currently reduced to £79.99.
However, this Father’s Day is the year to forget mugs and socks, and opt for the kind of present that dads will actually want and, most importantly, will be able to get some use out of. Whether he’s beach-bound, BBQ-ready, or just cracking open a cold beer in the garden, these flip flops are a fun, functional upgrade he’ll wear all summer long.
And at £55, they’re the perfect price to feel like you’ve spent enough on your dad or father figure, but haven’t had to break the bank. With 13 different colourways to choose from, including classic black, white and even checkerboard, there’s bound to be a colour that fits perfectly into your dad’s current wardrobe.
