Christmas presents for Dads...

Cupcake26

Anyone got any ideas? Can be bought or homemade. Just always struggle with what to buy the Dads and Grandads in our family!
Ask them what they want - answer is always "nothing"!!!!:j

I am having the same problem, my dad will never let us know what he wants.

Dad's are a pain!

Last year I made my Dad a cheese and crackers hamper from The selection at Aldi and I got him some really nice cheese knives from there to, stuff it in a basket with shredded paper and wrapped in cellophane with a big bow.

No idea what to do him this year, but I was thinking about getting someone to design his blog for him and give him like a webinar on how to get the most out of it. He is a Historian and published author now! *Proud Daughter!* and wants to start a blog.

I am wondering whether I can A) afford it & Find someone to do it....

I've just bought mine a woolly hat and a history of football cd for his van....He's just so difficult.
I bought him the complete James Bond dvd box set last year and now I can't think of anything better.

I usually make my stepdad up a hamper of whisky and sweets but he is on restrictions due to a heart attack last summer so I have to get creative..

Spendless

I've mentioned this a few times on here. This has saved money since buying it earlier this year and every bloke I know who uses this type of blade to shave moans about the cost.

I brought my dad a truffle tree last year well...its a chestnut tree but produces truffles. I thought it was an amazing gift. Cost around 30 pounds though x

My dads pretty awkward to buy for and his birthdays the 29th of December! What I usually do is get him DVDs, he works a lot ad doesn't have time to go to the cinema much. He really likes James Bond and thrillers so I keep an eye on the latest releases and save them to my wish list until they're a good price. I sometimes wrap them up in a little hamper with his favourite beer and chocolate.

My stepdads birthday is 30th... painful isn't it? .. mine is 26th so possibly worse.

I found the perfect gift for my dad this year and I am relived because every year I bang my head against a wall trying to think of something.

Photo frames for the wall in which you can put your LPs for display - you can chop and change them whenever you fancy. I got mine from the Works website and ended up getting them for £4 each with codes.

My dad loves LPs and has hundreds - now he can show a few off on his wall.

My sisters & I clubbed together to get my Dad a Kindle. Which (with a lot of girlish giggling) we loaded with books we thought he'd like.
(I then phoned him & asked what was on his to read heap & on his get-around-to-sometime & snaffled them onto the device as well.) £25 per daughter for a man who reads daily & still chuckles at our "bookshelves" for him... Worked for us.
