Fathers day is getting close and many online retailers are pulling out all the stops to get your business, which is great for you because you
Buy your father a Gucci gift set
can buy a gift for your dad for less than ever before! We’ve been having a look at some of our favorite fathers day offers to see if we can help you to come up with something your dad will love.
After shave is always a winner with fathers, even those who like to imply that they don’t really wear it. They love it! The top aftershaves are, of course, expensive, but there are some great offers around if you know where to look, which is where we come in. How about a Gucci By Gucci Homme Gift Set from Fragrancedirect which includes 50ml Eau de Toilette Spray, 50ml Aftershave Balm & 50ml Shower Gel and has £6 off. Ok it’s not the cheapest gift out there but it’s certainly classy.
Perfume Point have some really special offers on at the moment with up to 49% off designer aftershaves and specials on the likes of Bmen (Rubber Flask) Mens Edt 50ml Spray at 49% off, or how about Joop Homme Mens Edt 125ml Gift Set at 48% off. Both superb After shave deals that any dad would be thrilled to receive.
How about taking a look at Mankind. Mankind current have some wonderful male grooming gift ideas such as John Varvatos Classic Essentials Set for just £20.80 and Buy The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave a complete luxury shaving kit for under £30 (let’s face it, it’s something that us unbearded men have to do every day so anything that makes it a more bearable experience is generally welcomed).
Now your dad can fix dents in his car!
If your Dad is a gadget hound, Gizoo have some seriously good (and funny) gift ideas and are offering a free fathers day gift to all purchasers, apparently “a gift every father should have”. We don’t know what it is but it sounds intriguing! Amongst their current offers are some genuinely useful things such as The Ding King Dent Repair Kit.
This is a cheap (£15) but brilliant bit of kit for any father who cherishes a car or motorbike because it can save him money letting him fix his own minor car dents!
This next one is absolute genius. It’s Dad’s Cab and it’s a functioning Taxi style meter so that if your poor dad is regularly made to ferry people around, you can make him feel better about it by giving him the impression that he can turn this into a lucrative part-time income (or you can agree forfeits in lieu of cash using cards that come with it, such as cleaning said car). It costs just £9.95 and was voted Gift of the year in 2008, we can see why!
Another thing Dad’s tend to have is old vinyl records. Now, I must admit that I do have quite a few vinyl records myself but if you want to help your Dad to get his favorite tunes onto his Ipod or computer, then you could do a lot worse than getting him a ION Portable USB Turntable from Gizoo. It comes complete with software and is a straight out of the box solution for converting vinyl to digital formats.
Help your Dad convert his old records to MP3!
If your Dad likes the odd tipple, then a bottle of something nice will also go down well. Sparkling Direct have put together a really nice Fathers Day Golf Gift which consists of a deluxe indoor golf putting set plus a bottle of Famous Grouse Whisky. Really nice. If he’s a bit of a wine expert, how about a Vinturi Wine Aerator from I Want One Of Those. This is supposed to speed up process of wine breathing to make the wine taste better sooner. If your Dad likes to tell you about how sweets were better back in the olden days when you could get 40 Blackjacks for a pound, then you can give him a great sweet nostalgia trip with a Retro Sweet Hamper which is packed with classic 70′s sweets like drumsticks, Fruit salads, Blackjacks and more. That’s also from Iwantoneofthose, and they gift wrap as well.
These are just a few of our favorite fathers day gift ideas for 2009. However, if you’re still struggling for inspiration, then take a look at some of the stores listed on the right of the page, as there are plenty of gadget shops worth exploring (or maybe a DVD or CD will do the trick). We hope you father has a great day whatever gifts he receives!
