Help! Father’s Day gifts

6 replies

BasinHaircut · 11/06/2019 08:24

I am terrible at gift buying. Hate buying stuff for the sake of buying stuff but I need to sort Father’s Day gifts for my DH and my dad. Nothing extravagant but don’t want to give smellies.

What is everyone else doing? Need some inspiration!

I got my Dad a hankie with london map on it and a wine cooler from notonthehighstreet

They do have quite a lot of fun stuff on there so have a look if you haven't already

Anything to do with power tools usually goes down a treat. It makes them feel very manly ;)

DH is getting a keyring with DS's birth date on it (he has one for DD too) then he won't forget them. Also got him a GoT T-shirt & Marvel socks.
DFIL is getting whiskey.

I've no idea what to get my elderly bedridden father who is murder to buy for!

DH has just instructed me that he needs a new too and hat for golf so that’s him sorted. Panic half over.

My dad is much harder to buy for. I think once you get to a certain age what do you actually need?

For birthdays and Xmas me and my siblings but our parents tickets to things and maybe stays in hotels to go with them if needed etc.

When we were younger Father’s Day usually meant a cd but that’s all a bit redundant now.

This year I've done a little hamper of random goodies.
My dad doesn't drink so I've got him a dad-related book (one of those jokey ones), a photo frame with a picture, mug, socks (of course), chocolate, key ring etc, although it's been easy this year because it's DD's first Father's Day so could get all the grandad related stuff.

For FIL we have done the same but replaced the book and mug with a bottle of whisky.

When you add all the items together it actually looks like a lot of thoughts gone into it, and only totalled around £35 each. Most of the little trinkets I bought from the card factory so they cost next to nothing.

There are also options like jokey t-shirts, gardening gift set, etc. Does he have any hobbies?
