The Dads in my life are so difficult to buy for
Most of the ladies in my life
I am confident I could choose a gift for
That would be well received
But men
Even my best friend and soul mate
Are so hard to read
David is a man who has no desire for stuff
He is not keen on clothes of any kind
Really does not like designer labels
He does not eat fancy foods
He does not like sport or cars
He does LOVE books
And he likes what he defines as good music
He is not an easy man to buy for
So often he ends up with socks
And soppy messages in cards
This year
If money allows
I would like to do better
For my man
And for dads all round
So here are some ideas
Of festive fayre for fathers
Hippo Bottle Opener
David’s favourite animal as a child was a hippo
So this bottle opener is a perfect gift for him
Made of cast iron it is really heavy
It feels good in your hand
And opens bottles easily
The hippo looks great on display in the kitchen
Or by the fireside
Makes a great talking point
If you have friends over for a beer
A fun festive gift
Or fancy stocking filler
For the hippo loving beer drinker in your life
If your man is a wine drinker
This carafe might be a good gift
It can of course hold any drink
I love the design of this piece
Makes a statement on your dinner table
And can be fulled with fruit infused water
For family meals
David is a whisky drinker
And good whisky is a real treat for him
And a much welcomed gift
He loves Balvenie
So this miniatures collection would be a perfect present for him
There are lots of miniatures gift sets to choose from
So I am sure there will be a festive find
For the man in your life
A hamper can be a great way to treat someone special
A basket of treats just for them
Or a festive feast for the family to share
Prestige Hampers have a huge selection on offer
Meaning you can find just the Christmas cracker that you need
Some I think that David might like are
We were lucky enough to be sent a Traditional Gift Basket from Prestige Hampers
We have had great fun trying Christmas cake and Christmas pudding
Daddy enjoyed drinking the wine and eating the snacks
Proving that this most definitely would work as a gift for him.
If you have a difficult Daddy to buy for
A hamper with a bit of everything
Including Christmas jam!!
Could be a good way to go
If like us you have a DIY Daddy
A father who likes to have fun with gadgets
A man that likes all his own tools
House of Fraser has some super stocking stuffers
Gifts that are just the job
In very cool packaging
I quite like the look of the credit card one myself
These are not the cheapest of stocking fillers
But they are useful and fun
And can be made more affordable with House of Fraser discount codes
And if all else fails in the Daddy department
House of Fraser is also full of funky and festive socks!
What will you be buying your Daddy for Christmas this year?
