Posts: 8 Forumite
I am having a nightmare trying to find something extra to give my dad with his other pressies (unfortunately have already got my mum something small so need to do the same with dad! d'oh!).
I'm only looking at spending around £5 but he is so difficult to buy for.
He won't like anything homemade
and never uses most of the stuff i buy him!!
He likes going walking, but i can't find anything in this price range for that.
He also likes Man Utd, but don't want anything tacky :rotfl:
He is also interested in history...but i have no ideas.
Please help! I'm going insane!:mad:
