Gift Ideas for Father's Day

Father's Day will soon be with us once again and whilst it never seems to advertised as much as Mother's Day, I think it is important that we don't forget the men out there who work so hard to provide for their families.  For those of you who don't know it is on June 18th this year and I have come up with a few ideas that might appeal to the men in your life.

For the Football fanatic

How about a hand crafted t-shirt that depicts the magic and enthusiasm of football from the Art of Football. Each t-shirt is a limited edition, as only so many are made and what could be more exciting than owning a t-shirt that is exclusive and original.  Priced at £25 I think these are just perfect, well made and beautifully packaged they would make the best gift and can be ordered online.

For the Man who likes a Close Shave

Braun have released the latest in the Series 3 shavers and it is especially good for men with sensitive skin due to the two SensoFoilTM layers. It can be used wet and dry therefore providing greater comfort and also a unique micro comb system to help reach difficult hairs. With a 1 hour charge the shaver provides a weeks worth of cordless shaving and comes equipped with 2 long life batteries. Priced around £49.99 it is available from good electrical stores.

Whilst shopping at Hallmark why not pop one of the cute Itty Bittys in your basket, from Superman, to characters out of Star Wars, there is bound to be one to suit the Dad in your life. After all our Dads are our own super hero.

For the Cool Man who loves his shades

Now that we are heading for summer what better present than to buy a new pair of sunglasses. Vision Direct have a wide range of lenses, glasses and sunglasses. I found a lovely pair of Ben Sherman men's teardrop aviator sunglasses that will be the perfect fit for my husband. They come in a cool steel grey shade with texture detailing on the arms and sleek black tips. The lens are a gradient grey which gives them a lovely cool vintage style.  Priced at £39.99 they are a bargain and would make a fantastic gift.

Now I know I'm not a man but these candles are gorgeous and come in a sleek black jar which will blend in with almost any décor. With scents like Hair Tonic, Hot Towel, Sandalwood, Aftershave and Chrome they will certainly to appeal to men (and women). The candles cost £13.99 each and would make a different gift this Father's Day.
