What's everyone getting the men in your lives for Father's Day?

Options
Just thought this thread may give people ideas for gifts if they're stuck for ideas... That and the the fact that I'm incredibilby nosy:rotfl:

For the hubby, off the kids I am getting the following gifts;

iTunes voucher
Slippers
Cup
Socks
1408 DVD
Shorts
Tshirt
iPad cover

I wouldn't normal buy him this many things for Father's Day, but we've had a tough time of it recently and he deserves to be spoilt a little;)

For my own dad I will probably get him a cup and make him a wooden sign

My stepdad will probably get a shirt or tshirt

And my father in law will get a cup and the hubby will probably give him some money too.

What's on your list?

    I will post my dad a card and my hubby will get a card and breakfast in bed which is the given treat on a mothers or fathers day. I do understand the extra gifts when it been a bit rough but I don't usually buy into these days too much.

    Fab thread idea, Father's day can be a tough one can't it, think it's lovely to share ideas.

    Unfortunately I can't post anything as he is also an mse'r and I don't want to ruin the surprise but your post has reminded me of something I had on my list but had forgotten. :p

    A mocked- up ticket for a day out that he and my mum already have planned. I was utterly at a loss for what to do this year until Mum came up trumps with the idea!:T

    For OH it's a new CD and a lovely card from the children.
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    My Dad lives abroad so I send him a card. Don't bother with gifts as the only things he likes are choc brazils or unscented smellies, neither of which are worth sending to the Middle East due to postage costs! He probably won't even realise it's Fathers Day as they don't advertise it there either!

    DH is getting a raclette from the kids - I got it HP in M&S a couple of months ago. He had a big birthday in March so got pretty much all the smellies/itune vouchers/gift experiences he needs to be getting on with lol!

    FIL will probably get a book or nice bottle of wine.
