It's Father's Day - that dreaded day we all fear! The one day in the year where we can actually show our fathers we appreciate everything they've done for you and yet we still manage to screw it up.

No - you father doesn't want another set of socks or any other inane present he's got every Christmas for the past 40 years. Let's push the negativity aside, though, and figure out what the poor man actually does want.

That's where this week's Five Friday Favourites comes in spectacularly handy. Here's five things your Da would be delighted to uncover from underneath gaudy wrapping paper on Sunday morning.

This week's Five Friday Favourites from Arnotts begins with a pair of Hugo Boss Boxers, now granted their not a million miles away from socks, but come on, who wouldn't like a pair of slick under garments like these? They're available online (so you don't even have to leave the house) or in store for only €22.40.

If you want something a little more 'substantial' then the Brooks Brother Blue Check Shirt is your only man. The auld fella will be only delighted to whip on this bad boy and head down to the pub. You can get this for €77 either online at www.arnotts.ie or in store.

Now, your Da may the the kind of manly man that wouldn't even know how to spell moisturiser, but the times they are a changin' and men of all ages are taking care of themselves. With that in mind maybe your father would like some Clarins Men Line Control Eye Balm. It may sound a tad scary, but it basically reduces lines and wrinkles and is available for €40.65.

There are some of the old reliables that still make very welcome presents. One of which is a fancy leather wallet. This Simon Carter Wallet is just that and you can get your hands on it for €72 both online and in store.

We've left the most tricky present till last. Tell your dad you're getting him a jumper and horrible images of knitted monstrosities will instantly be scarring his mind's eye. You can avoid all that, though, if you get his a swanky jumper like this Arnotts Collection Knit jumper then he'll be only delighted with himself. It's available like all our other pieces this week both online and in store for a tidy €40.
