As cookshops and housewares stockists prepare for the run-up to Father’s Day, the big question is: what gifts do men really want? Matt Long, director at Buff of Cowes provides some inspiration from his shop’s good sellers:
Stojo Brooklyn 12oz Collapsible Cup from Auteur
Fill up in the coffee shop (no single-use cups!) – when you have finished the Stojo collapses flat so it fits neatly in your pocket or bag and won’t leak coffee dregs all over your stuff!

Super sleek folding tablet stand – great to use for checking recipes while you’re cooking.
