You can thank us for the reminder later. In the meantime, check out these great gift ideas for your old man this Father’s Day.
They don’t like to remind us – hell they even forget about it themselves sometimes – but there’s one day of the year when you’re allowed express your love for your Dad without the two of you feeling incredibly awkward and that day is nearly upon us. It’s June 15 to save you a Google search.
He’s probably had to put up with an awful lot over the years so the least you can do is give him something nice on his big day and then he can go and make you sound like the greatest son in the world when he’s discussing gifts with other Dads over a Father’s Day pint a little later in the evening.
Speaking of pints, there’s a good chance your Dad will spend a lot of time over the next six weeks or so on the couch watching the World Cup and if he wants to get into the spirit of things while enjoying a cold brew, then this
Brazil Crest Pint Glass will do the job.
Sticking with the food and drink angle for a minute, we’re fast approaching barbeque season (granted, it might be a very short season) and if your Dad wants to invite a few friends to BYOB for a BBQ in the BG (Back Garden), then he could be wowing them with this
18inch Stainless Steel Kettle BBQ Grill, which will look even better when it has a few sausages and burgers sizzling away to be devoured along with a few cold beers on a warm day.
Of course, Dads are as concerned as everyone else with their health and the need to keep fit in a day and age where exercise is King and he could burn a few calories while watching the footie when stationed above on
this Dynamix exercise bike, available from Littlewoods for just €67
If you’re looking to keep it simple, you really can’t go wrong with a bottle of after-shave and while your auld fella might be a traditionalist and might still be using the Old Spice fragrance he’s been using for the last 20 years, why not try and encourage him to change his ways with
a bottle of Dolce and Gabbana’s The One Gentleman, even if it provokes a bit of jealously from your mother when Dad is attracting glances from the ladies, impressed as they no doubt will be by his new musk.
Last but by no means least, if you really want to impress your Dad, or maybe combine his Father’s Day and birthday presents, then you could go all out with this
Armani Exchange Stainless Steel Black Dial Men’s Watch, which is sleek and stylish and will guarantee a place in the good books for months.
