Your basket is currently empty!
Don’t panic, it’s not here yet – but it’s close enough that it should definitely be on your radar!
Sprawling across the rapidly approaching Sunday 15th June 2025, it’s the ideal opportunity to spoil your dad, father figure, stepdad, or even your grandad!
The only issue is – most dads tend to be pretty hard to buy for! So, what do you buy for the special man in your life?
The expert team at Jeremy’s Home Store has compiled a list of the best Father’s Day gifts for sports dads – taking the stress out of the situation completely.
Are Jellycat toys suitable for dads?
There tends to be an assumption that Jellycat toys are designed for children, so they aren’t a suitable gift for grown adults.
While this will be true for some people, the quality and quirky nature of Jellycats make them an ideal gift that is both personal and bags of fun!
Finding the right Jellycat for your loved one can be decided by their interests, favourite animals, preferred snacks, or even their favourite sport – thankfully, Jellycat has a vast range of characters to suit recipients of all types.
The range even includes Jellycat sports balls and accessories for the sports-mad dads!
Our favourite Jellycat sports characters
Amuseables Sports Rugby Ball by Jellycat
With the iconic long oval shape and the instantly recognisable Amuseables dangling boots, even the toughest players would be hard-pressed to resist the charms of the Amuseables Sports Rugby Ball by Jellycat.
Soft enough to prop them up while they relax on the sofa, and durable (and machine-washable) enough for passing practice with little ones, Amuseables Rugby Ball will quickly become your most debonair drop kick companion.
Plus, with bold blue details and red and white cord socks, it’s reminiscent of both the Scottish and English national teams – great if you have a season ticket holder to buy for!
Amuseables Sports Ice Hockey Puck by Jellycat
For those with a dad into more extreme (and violent) sports – enter Jellycat Amuseable sports ice hockey puck!
With vast textural variation, Ice Hockey Puck features soft black fur, an embroidered tummy band, and suedette skates – making him as pleasant to hold as he is to look at.
Unlike other characters, cordy boots are swapped for bijou-bladed skates. Offering a sweeter and safer alternative and vastly reducing your chance of nicks and cuts.
Amuseables Sports Football by Jellycat
The classic character from the Jellycat sports balls, Jellycat Amuseable sports football is bouncing to a pitch near you!
Bearing the tessellating pattern associated with footballs for decades, just with a softer twist, this monochrome teammate is the ideal companion for watching the game or even decorating your dugout.
So, whether your dad is a star striker or more like a real-life football manager, the Amuseables Sports Football is the perfect present.
Amuseables Sports Golf Ball by Jellycat
Perhaps your dad is happiest out on the green with his golf buddies?
If so, this Jellycat Amuseable sports golf ball is the perfect caddy companion. Plus, thanks to a super squishy textured body rather than the usual, surprisingly heavy synthetic layers – dropping one on your toe is a much less painful affair!
With a summer-ready baby-blue visor and a cordy thumbs-up, nothing will stop the support from this gentlest of golfers.
