Father's Day Gift Guide

With Father's Day looming on Sunday, I've done some of the leg work for you and put together a little gift guide

I don't know about your dad but my dad doesn't like football OR golf, making a lot of those generic Father's Day gift guides pretty useless. And I've never actually met a dad who wants a tie hanger as a gift at any time of the year, so give that one up M&S...

I've divided this post into things you can buy, and things you can make. And thankfully everything is under £25.

Part 1 - Throw money at the problem...


Musicians card - £2.60 - Ink & Thread (Derby)
Beardy Man egg cup - £11.50 - Donna Wilson


Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti double LP - £20.63 - Amazon
Guy Martin: My Autobiography - £3.99 - Sainsbury's
 
 

Bees Knees card - £2.80 - Ink & Thread (Derby)
Motorbike pizza cutter - £8 - Debenhams


Peaky Blinders: Series 1-2 box set - £17.50 - Amazon
"The Sergeant Peppermill" - £15 - Debenhams

If non of the above suggestions peak your fancy, in my experience you can't go wrong with a big box of Maltesers...

Part 2 - Feeling crafty...


Left: For the dad who prefers sweet treats to beer. Fill empty bottles with his favourite sweets and chocolate. Apply your own hand drawn label.

Right: DIY chalkboard mug, for the dad who drinks more tea than is frankly necessary. Really easy tutorial here. Personalise with a silly message.


Left: Summers here (well, kind of), time to let your dad loose on the bbq... Fill a bucket with sauce, tongs, and possibly a beer or two!

Right: Load a kilner jar with fresh, homemade cookies. Finish with a bright ribbon and a handwritten tag.

What will you be buying/making your dad for father's day?

Until next week...
