This year will be my first Father's Day as a father of two, which I hope means that I can look forward to twice as many presents as last year...
I know Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, so I thought I'd help you out by sharing some of the Home County Co. products I'd love to receive from my children.
My son Henry is coming up to three years old, and my daughter Freya is just eleven weeks, so fingers crossed Hannah sees this and gives them a helping hand picking out some Father's Day Gifts...
Born and raised in Bedfordshire...
Bedfordshire Soap Bar | £7
I’m from Bedfordshire myself, so a Bedfordshire soap bar would be pretty high on my list, it's a Honey & Nectar Fruits scent that's actually inspired by my Grandad's garden so it means a lot to me.
If Henry and Freya are feeling really generous, they could even go for a Trio of Soaps Gift Setto keep me stocked up for the rest of the year...
While I'm not sure that my 11 week-old and my almost 3 year-old will think of this... I do love a Cotswolds Candle. This part of the UK will always hold a special place in my heart, because it's where Hannah and I got married back in 2021.
We love burning a Cotswolds candle on special occasions like Valentine's Day, and our Wedding Anniversary because the Fresh Linen scent takes us right back to that wonderful day in the Oxfordshire countryside.
I was living in Tring in Hertfordshire when I met Han, and we actually founded the Home County Co. in the kitchen of the first house we shared together.
The Hertfordshire is a really lovely spring scent, and it's one of the original 6 county scents we launched back in 2018 so it's super nostalgic for both of us.
I like having a Hertfordshire Reed Diffuser on my desk at work to remind me of where it all started, and how far we've come.
If there's a county fragrance I've grown to love more and more over the years, its The Buckinghamshire.
Buckinghamshire is where my wife is from, and where we're now raising our two beautiful children. There's nothing I look forward to more than the Sundays we spend exploring our home county as a family, so I can't think of a better gift to receive for Father's Day than a Buckinghamshire candle.
The scent is Cedar & Wild Berries, which reminds me of taking Henry blackberry picking on the Chiltern Hills last autumn when Hannah was pregnant with Freya.
I'm sure it's a scent I'll treasurewhen the kids are all grown up and don't want to go blackberry picking with their old Dad anymore!
If there's one thing I hope to pass on to my children, it's my appreciation for an excellent country pub.
Cider is both mine and Hannah's drink of choice, so we can vouch for the fact that the Cider Apples scent of The Herefordshire makes it the perfect gift for any cider lover. It has a juicy, bittersweet scent- just like a Herefordshire Redstreak apple.
For the Dad who's hard to buy for, a scented candle inspired by his favourite drink is exactly the gift you need. If yours is more of a whiskey man, we have both a Scotchand an Irish Whiskeyscent in our County Collection!
