Father’s Day Gifts

Our friends at Message Muffins want you to treat your dad and celebrate Father’s Day in style this year.

So they’re giving away a box of 8 tasty organic cookies away for free. They’ve teamed up with Freebie Bag to give you the chance to win it in time for next Sunday 20th June.

Dad’s are always difficult people to buy pressies for. This competition gives you a chance to win a jar of traditional and retro sweets from our pals at Posh Pick and Mix. It’ll make an ideal Father’s Day gift and take your dad down memory lane.

You can win a jar for free simply by signing up at freebiebag.co.uk for their daily Free Offers Alerts.

Not an obvious website choice for gift ideas and presents but it’s surprising how much electrical stuff is bought for Birthdays, Christmas, Wedding presents, and Easter gifts.

If you’re on the search for MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, laptops and sat nav systems and all the accessories you could wish for, then Maplins has it all.

Sandedge are offering a truly unique gardening prize in our latest competition. Bringing wheelbarrows well and truly into the 21st century, this marvellous invention is a folding wheelbarrow.

Not only does it fold up flat so it can be stored in even the smallest gardens, but it can also come with this unique carrot design unlike the boring green metal wheelbarrows of yesteryear.

My latest find is another great gift idea for those gentlemen who love a traditional tipple of the golden nectar. A fabulous traditional bottle of whisky transformed into a bespoke gift idea for your dad on Father’s Day.

It’s coming around to that time of year again where we look at celebrating our dads. Yes, Father’s Day always falls on the 3rd sunday of every June, so in 2008 we celebrate Father’s Day on 15th June.

Some people find buying for their dad’s easy enough as many are easily pleased, but you may be one of the unfortunates that has a fussy dad or maybe you just aren’t good at choosing gifts – after all there is such an amazing choice available, where do you start?

For the next few weeks I will be trawling the net for some goodies that would make ideal Father’s Day Gifts, so you can discover some hidden gems.

£11.99 at In The Paper

In The Paper is a brilliant and very inventive way of creating a personalised newspaper in honour of someone you know for a whole host of different occasions.

It can be used to produce an one-off gift for somebody to raise a smile, a giggle or a few tears of joy and is a perfect present to have as a keepsake.

Screwfix

I know it seems bizarre to be writing about a tool shop on a gift ideas website, but honestly, this is the place to buy presents for dads. My dad is always doing DIY (and he is very good at it too – luckily!) so he always need some new tools or other.

Tool and DIY sites are great for buying birthday presents for dads, husbands and all DIY enthusiasts. Don’t forget Father’s Day in June as well!

Moonpig.com

I have discovered Moonpig – a great site that enables you to buy your birthday cards online, in fact not just birthday cards but cards to cater for any other occasion you can think of.
