Sunnies from Kindf_olk
Mens lifestyle and clothing store Kindf_olk is ideal if you're last minute gift shopping for the dad who knows his style (or the dad who needs a little assistance in the fashion department!)
They've got a great range of mens accessories – we're especially loving the Monokel sunglasses, pictured above; perfect for (sporadically sunny!) June.

Whiskey from McCambridges
Most Irish men can get behind a good Irish whiskey, and there's no better place to shop for it than in 100-year-old McCambridges on Shop Street.
They've got some lovely choices from West of Ireland distilleries in store, including Micil, Uais and Galway Hooker.

For the art-and-design dad, a print from Outset Gallery would make for a gorgeous gift. They have a beautiful collection of limited edition prints from both Irish and international artists, plus their very own framing business in store too!
Prints range from the über contemporary to famous classics, so you'll have no trouble finding the right piece.

The ever-quirky My Shop...Granny Likes It is a treasure trove for last minute gift shopping, and they've got some gorgeous artisan ceramics to choose from.
If your dad is into homeware, loves to cook, or simply enjoys having a dedicated mug for his morning coffee (we're sensing a perfect dual gift here), check out their Irish pottery range in store.

Wine and Cheese from Sheridans
You can rarely go wrong with a wine and cheese combo, and when it comes to a last minute gift all you need to know is your dad's favourite varietal.
Pop into Sheridan's Cheesemongers to find him a gorgeous pairing, whether it's a full bodied Malbec and a punchy cheddar or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and a creamy brie. Divine.
