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.

The search continues for my hunt for great gift ideas for Father’s Day on 15th June 2008.

Week 2 of my hunting sees me discover the delights of personalised gifts, macho experience days and nifty little gadgets. Not forgetting some beautiful handmade cards to finish the package off.

Father’s Day Cards by Moon pig

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.

£12 at Ethical Superstore

Want to buy a gift for someone that is funky, functional and will make you feel good about yourself?

Then the Pants to Poverty underwear ticks all those boxes.

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!

Sadly Discoo is no more but give Big Bad Buffalo a try. It’s an independent fashion store selling stylish and edgy quality clothing for men and women.

£39.95 at PrezzyBox

The iWallet has spoken. It jumped out at me and said ’I am the perfect Valentine’s Gift Idea for those who have to buy for the man who has everything’, and I have to agree with him.

This wallet is practical, stylish and yet can be personalised enough to make it a special Valentine’s Day gift for your man.

Chococo

I know chocolate sounds like such a predictable gift to give someone on St Valentine’s Day, but really, you haven’t tried chocolate until you’ve tried Chococo chocolate.  It really is delicious, handmade with real dorset cream, fairtrade sourced cocoa beans and no preservatives.

So freshly made with real ingredients that they have a 2 week ’eat by’ date on them. Not that there will be any left after 2 weeks!

Moonpig.com
