Dads. Aren’t they just one of the most difficult people to buy gifts for? More often than not, the member of the family who says, ‘I don’t need anything’.
It’s annoying isn’t it?
Obviously, you don’t need to buy someone a present to let them know how much you love them – but an affectionate token (no matter how much they resist giving you a list) will always be appreciated.
So, what DO you get the dad who has everything for Father’s Day?
Food and drink, of course. We’ve all got to eat and quench our thirst, after all.
But keep it thoughtful. You might be tempted to go for those novelty beers with rude names (which he could actually love), but there’s an opportunity here to show him you really listen, and know what he likes. To bring something to the table that will make him go ‘wow’.
Perhaps a nostalgic flavour from his childhood. Products that lean into something he’s fanatic about (chillies, BBQs, cheese, beer, wine, chocolate etc). A cookery school class, if he’s trying to upskill his technique in the kitchen. Or beautiful, timeless, enduring kit that will make him feel like a pro when he’s at the helm of the stove.
Here are just a few suggestions to help you rustle up a Father’s Day to remember.
