Festive Fayre for Fathers

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

Rare Carafe

If your man is a wine drinker

This carafe might be a good gift

It can of course hold any drink

rare carafe

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

Whisky Miniatures

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

Christmas Hamper

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

Some I think that David might like are

Cheese and Wine

Beer and Cheese

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

A selection of multi tools

In very cool packaging

I quite like the look of the credit card one myself

credit card tool

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!
