Treat the man in your life on Father’s Day
Father’s Day is coming up on the 17th June, giving us all the perfect chance to show our dads how much we appreciate them. While a Toblerone or a pair of slippers did the job when you were a child, it’s time to get a bit more imaginative and find a gift he’ll really love. Whether your dad is into gadgets or days out, we have some suggestions to help you wow him.
The Literary Gift Company – We’ve tried to find our favourite literature-inspired gift from this online shop but there are just too many amazing things to choose from. If your dad loves reading, have a look at this website for Penguin ties, mugs featuring Penguin classics, stationery, home wares and more. How about a bar of chocolate or a mug printed with a quote from his favourite book?
Scratch Off World Map – If the dad you’re buying for is well-travelled or has some trips of a lifetime looming, this is a great gift idea. The wall map is covered with gold foil when purchased, then Dad can scratch off the countries he has visited for a truly personalised wall decoration.
London 2012 Olympic Monopoly Game – Give Dad the gift of family time with a classic board game. There are plenty to choose from but this Olympic edition of Monopoly really caught our eye as it marks one of the major events taking place in Britain this year. Featuring Olympic venues such as the Aquatics Centre and the Olympic Stadium centrepiece, this is sure to go down a treat.
Dalmore 12 year old Whisky – Fans of whisky will be delighted with a bottle of this full flavoured malt. Distilled in the North Highlands, this whisky is of fantastic quality despite being just twelve years old.
iSuppli Nautilus iPhone Dock – As well as charging an iPhone or iPod, this dock will look stylish on any desk. Listen to your music, charge and sync your device and even use it to make and receive hands-free phone calls. This is definitely a great gift idea for the tech-savvy father!
Wicked at the Apollo Victoria – If you haven’t seen this outstanding musical yet, make sure to book it for Father’s Day. The unforgettable show is based on the famous characters from the Wizard of Oz and is much loved by everyone who sees it. Make your way to the West End and enjoy the story of Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Loch Lomond – This is the ideal setting for a peaceful break or an adventurous family weekend away. Treat Dad to a few days away, surrounded by stunning Scottish scenery. There are plenty of hotels, B&Bs and lodges to choose from and Cameron House hotel is particularly well recommended.
Ferrari Experience – Every man dreams of being a race car driver, or at least having an expensive sports car at his disposal. Make your father’s day by presenting him with a voucher for his very own Ferrari experience. The voucher entitles him to 3 laps of Goodwood race track in a Ferrari 308, where he can enjoy a fast Italian car and a lack of traffic lights and speed limits.
Falconry in Scotland – For the more outdoorsy man, a falconry experience in the Scottish borders could be the stuff of dreams. Falconry experiences include handling birds of prey alongside the experts. If he would love to get hands-on with falcons, owls, hawks and buzzards, this is a great bet for his Father’s Day gift.
Naturally, if like many people your father would like more time in his life. As you know we can help with that with our Gift of Time vouchers… need we say more?
