Turn a favourite family photo into something he’ll actually keep. Snappy Snaps on Putney High Street can print canvas wall art, photo books, mugs, cushions, keyrings and framed prints all from your phone. A personalised gift always beats something off a shelf.

3. Craft beer from Ghost Whale

For the dad who loves a good brew, Ghost Whale on the Lower Richmond Road is a brilliant local find. Pick up a curated selection of craft cans and bottles, or put together a bespoke beer box he can work through at his own pace.
