Gifts for Fathers

Options
I really can't think of what to get for our fathers for our wedding (which is on Friday, bit late oops!). I've looked online but I don't like all the usual, cufflinks, hipflasks etc as I don't think they would ever use them again. Has anyone got any ideas what I could get?

Thanks!

  • We're just getting our dads a nice bottle of whisky each - they both have enough cufflinks to last them a lifetime and neither of them are the hipflask type, but they both really like whisky.


    If you want to get them something to keep then potentially you could get glasses to go with the whisky - OH has these rocking ones which are pretty good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocking-Whiskey-Glasses-200ml-Pack/dp/B001JANQRY


    Otherwise, do they have any hobbies/interests, or anything they collect? Those might be good starting points for what to get them.

  • I got my Dad a personalized beer stein. My FIL I got a personalized lighter. I like the idea of the whiskey and a shot glass to go with it. Maybe get their names on them or your name and wedding date.... Just a thought.

    I just noticed this post is a bit old. What did you decide to get the fathers?

    I got my dad this:

    He has enough beer glasses and never wears cufflinks!
  • It's so hard isn't it! Have ended up getting my Dad a photo frame?! But he just wouldn't use anything traditional again and he doesn't drink.
