Father’s Day

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.

Here is my Top 3 Father’s Day presents for Week 1 of our Father’s Day countdown.

My Cuppa Mug

Tea is classed as the nations favourite drink, and the UK is known around the world as having a big tea drinking culture.

And a cup of tea is scientifically proven to solve any problem, but it’s important to make sure you get it just right.

To make your cuppa perfect, this mug is just the thing as it has a colour swatch printed onto the inside of it - just like a Dulux colour card!

And if your dad isn’t a tea lover, how about the My Cuppa coffee mug? It’s the same idea, just with different shades of brown!

These cups were created by the clever mugs (pun intended) at Suck UK who also did the Sun Jar.

Buy one for £7.95 from Firebox.com and make sure your dad gets the best cuppa ever on Father’s Day.

Brewzer Home Brew Kit

All dads love beer or lager. And they will love you forever if they receive this home brew kit from you this year. It means they will be able to make their favourite tipple at home and enjoy a few pints of the amber nectar without handing any money over to the pub landlord.

It only takes 3 weeks to make and the best thing of all is that it is re-usable!

Buy a Brewzer beer kit for £24.99 from Hawkin’s Bazaar - your dad will certainly have something to celebrate on Father’s Day.

Portable BBQ

If your dad loves gadgets, BBQ’s and camping then this is the perfect gift all rolled into one!

Dad’s love to cook on the barbie - it’s always so much more fun than cooking in the kitchen. This fold up portable BBQ kit can be taken on camping trips, picnics on the beach, the park or even the back garden.

A neat little carry case hides a secret, open it up to reveal a fully functional barbie - ideal for cooking perfect burgers and bangers.

Buy a portable BBQ set for £19.99 from I Want One Of Those and your dad will be as happy as larry the lamb (burger).
