I've always struggled with father's day, not with the concept but with actually coming up with something to get my dad as he is so tricky to buy for! Content with a rugby game and a glass of Diet Coke he doesn't want much else in life and as a person who loves buying gifts, it's put me in a bit of a predicament. So I've learnt that you can never go wrong with sentimentality. If you can bring a tear to his eye, then you've done well as he'll remember it for years to come whereas he might not remember that bottle of whiskey.
iPads and e-readers are becoming increasingly more popular so a perfect gift would be a tasteful cover. Try this Dbramante1928 one from Selfridges. Or, if your dad needs an upgrade from an old phone, try a gift he's bound to use on a daily basis like this Samsung E1200 frommobiles.co.uk* which is only £5 to buy with a £10 topup with Virgin Mobiles! And of course, if your dad likes a good tie, Selfridges stocks a large variety of gorgeous neck ties. My dad is currently loving Breaking Bad so why not buy a box set of his current series obsession? It'll keep him occupied for at least a week and will be reminded of you every time he watches it! I love mugs and use my Cath Kidston one on a daily basis and I personally always turn to mugs as mothers day or fathers day presents - this one from Jamie Oliver which you can buy on Amazon is so cute! Plus, he'll think of you whenever he has a cuppa. Novelty socks are always a winner and some of them are bound to make him chuckle! One of my favourite go to items for fathers day are things that smell nice - my dad's personal favourites are from Marks and Spencers but this little set from Baylis & Harding is packed so beautifully it's bound to go down a treat (and it doesn't break the bank.)
