Father's day presents that aren't awful

Is there such a thing?

I've looked on Etsy and On The High Street but I'm struggling to find something for my 40 year old husband from our 2 year old.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hope House Press do lovely leather notebooks and use the offcuts to make cool key rings which I've bought for dad presents?

I should clarify, My husband is FUSSY.
Not so much on the hobbies or travelling, nothing in the way of usual pursuits.

I've already bought him a leather keyring, last year they had matching tshirts, which I wouldn't say no to again but I haven't found anything great which has the correct size for my 2 year old too.

For my first mother's day present he bought me a chocolate orange, so I'm obviously always going to try and shame him with a decent present now.

I'm making this hard, I know. Apologies.

Can your 2 year old make something for him? Pinerest hasloads of ideas

TheWeatherGirl1 · 28/05/2019 10:25

Lois that is a crazy idea.
I've never been on Pinterest, what should I be googling here?

Don't try too hard if he only bought you a chocolate orange! Personalised mug?

TheWeatherGirl1 · 28/05/2019 10:51

But I need to try hard! I have to win!

Sadly, he's already got the mug

When our son was little, the best presents for fathers day/mothers days/grandparents/etc, were homemade. You could print out a photo of your husband and son, get your son to put some colourful hand prints on some cardboard and stick the picture on.
Google fathers day hand print ideas.
