    :confused: My dad runs his own electrical business...(a bit of a workaholic) so electrical gifts are out. He doesn't really have many hobbies and he hardly drinks.

    I have the same problem trying to avoid the jumper and socks gifts which I know he likes, but also know that it's what everyone else will get him.

    Recent gifts include compact binoculars, food hamper full of his favourites, stuff for the car, new suitcase.
    Any ideas?
    :think:

    Any other info: We bought one for a nephew, and I've asked for one for me too. It's addictive.

    I had one of these for Fathers day. Great fun trying to think of objects to catch it out.

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,

    think this is 9 or 10 pounds from play, therefore saving on postage (as it free from play.com)

    Under £75!!!!

    I'm cheap to buy for, 75p and i'm happy :)
  • Can anyone help me out my OH likes cooking he wants anything to do with cooking.Last year I paid for him to go on a one day fish course, he love it. Anyone know where I can find another one day cooking course.
  • If money is no object, there was a piece in our local paper today about some courses at Raymond Blanc's cookery school next year for £250 per day (gulp!), on various subjects.

    If you are in the Bournemouth area, the Norfolk Royale Hotel are doing a series of 1 day cookery workshops at £25 each, different subjects. I'm doing 3 of them myself next year, I think there are 4 or 5 planned, and lunch is included.
