Gift Ideas For Father's Day

Father's day is on its way and this year it just happens to fall on the same day as my husband's birthday so I'm having to come up with twice as many ideas for what to buy him. I don't know about any of you but my man tends to be a little bit fussy when it comes to purchasing a gift for him so I thought I'd share with you a few of my thoughts, lend a little inspiration your way.

I've narrowed it down to five ideas, all a bit different so I hope there will be something for everyone as you scroll through this post :

Rocket and Rose

I've been eyeing up a few of their items of clothing for a while now, both for myself and for the kids and then I saw the T-shirts for dads'. Now the deadline for guaranteed Father's day delivery but you could still order a top like the one pictured below and give and IOU on the day.

What To Give The Husband for Father's Day?

My husband isn't the easiest man to buy for. He is one of these people that tends to buy what he wants for himself so when it comes to others getting him gifts there isn't an awful lot left to purchase. And even more tricky his birthday and father's day are within days of each other.

The kid's dad is also a man that doesn't like change so if you try to give him a present that i something different like an alternative after shave or a another brand of clothing, you can almost guarantee that even as he's saying thank you what he is actually thinking is what am I meant to do with this now.

Dining Out For Father's Day

Father's day, a day where dads get celebrated. And what better way to treat your dad than taking them out for dinner, saves on you washing up too!!

I recently took the girls and their dad out for dinner at our local Brewer's Fayre restaurant which happens to be a 5 minute drive from our house so extremely nearby.

All Dads Can Be #TruprintDads

Father's day is getting closer and I already shared with you guys my gift guide for all the different dads out there but I saved my best ideas for last and they all have to do with Truprint.

I'm a huge sucker for a personalised gift and what better way to personalise something than with photos of loved ones. And this is something that Truprint can help with as not only do they print high quality photos, they also produce gifts such as magnets, calendars, mugs and puzzles.

The only problem is deciding just what to ordered. I opted for a few different items which are pictured below :

Fridge magnets costing £2.99 each

Father's Day Gift Guide

I always struggle to buy gifts on Father's day because my husbands birthday always ends up around the same time and he is difficult enough to buy for in the first place. So this year I thought I'd put together a little gift guide to help those who may have the same problems as I do.

For the gamer :

The newest Call of Duty might be on their list of wants.

For the beard grower (seems to be the latest trend which my hubby has latched onto) :

Dear Barber Beard Oil rrp £9.99 for a 30 ml bottle. This contains both almond and coconut oils and is said to nourish, soften and smooth out any beard, this may just be the perfect father's day gift for him.

Hotel Chocolat Father's Day Collection Giveaway

Did you know that it is Father's day on the 15th of June?? Have you thought about what gift you are going to buy? Each year I need to buy presents for Daddy Hazelden, my dad and my father in law and luckily for me I know there are two things that I can't go wrong with, beer and chocolate!!! This year Hotel Chocolat have come to the rescue with both :

For those of you on a budget they have these Beer Selectors priced at £3.85 each.

Father's Day Card Making

Father's day is fast approaching. I always find it hard to know what to get Daddy Hazelden on this day because is birthday happens to fall only a couple of days after this!!

This year we have a distinct lack of money, which I am sure is the same for a lot of you, so we have decided to not bother with the presents (especially because poor old mum didn't get anything on Mother's day!!).

Instead we are made a nice card and the girls will be helping me to make his favourite dinner (paella) on the day.

Now we didn't want any old card, I find it is always nice to have something a bit personal, means more I think. By chance I happened to find the lovely Bella-Doodle on facebook. She makes beautiful handmade crayons and chalks and when I found her she was selling small pots of her crayons along with different Father's day cards that your children could colur in using said crayons.

It must have been fate because Daddy Hazelden is carpenter and she was selling a set with a card that had carpenters tools on, I had to buy it right??

When they arrived, I was really pleased. We had a mixture of shapes and colours, including hello kitty, stars, peppa pig, lego and a cupcake.  So the kids set to work on colouring in the card. They each chose a different tool and letter to colour, taking it in turns, for once there was no arguments!!

That was until the time to write in the card came. Both Elise and Freya can write their own names and their sister's names, so both wanted to do it, neither one could agree on who wrote what, that's when the tantrums started (joys of being a mum). After a good 20 minutes we finally had the card written and sealed. It is now in hiding somewhere, I don't know where, let's hope the girls can still find it when Sunday arrives. 

What are you doing for Father's day??
