It doesn’t matter how
prepared and planned my life is, Father’s day always seems to catch
me a little off-guard, and I find myself rushing around to find the
perfect present. Not this time, however! I have done my shopping, and
the presents are sorted. With that in mind, I thought it would be a
good time for me to help any of my readers who aren’t quite sure
what to get with my top list of Father’s day ideas.
Gadgets
The Father in my house
loves technology. However, I never felt I could buy him something he
would like because none of his gadgets make any sense to me. And then
I realised that it didn’t matter which gadget it was, he seemed to
love them all! The last time I bought him some light bulbs that he
could control with his mobile phone, and the time before that it was
a small camera that he could attach to his car to record his driving.
Neither of them made sense to me, the products or their purpose, but
they were well received none-the-less. If you are buying for a
gadget-loving Father, don’t be afraid to head into the local gadget
store and find something completely obscure. Chances are he will love
it!
Gardening
If the Father in your
home loves gardening, then you have the perfect theme! Casually ask
about any lawn equipment that may be coming to the end of its life or
perhaps drop a few catalogues around the home to see if he lingers on
anything. If all else fails, you can’t go wrong with a new
lawnmower. While it may seem impersonal, Father’s all around the
world love a new toy to play with, and a lawnmower always seems to
fit the bill. I’m not the best when it comes to gardening, so the
last time I looked through the Groupon's discount code page for
Screwfix and read some of the reviews to help make my choice.
Pampering
It can be strange to
think that Fathers in the world love a bit of pampering, but trust
me, they do! There are plenty of male-focused beauty parlours around;
you just have to look. I found that my local barber also offered a
facial service that was quite popular with his clients. Instead of a
gift voucher to a day-spa full of women, look for a service that can
set up a small massage environment in your home. I found a massage
therapist who brought their own table, music, and fragrances. While I
wasn’t around when they came, a very relaxed Father phoned me to
thank me.
These are just some of
the ideas I have used when looking for the perfect Father’s day
present, and they have all worked a treat! If you are stuck for
ideas, take from these, and you are sure to see a smile on your
Father’s face.
