Father’s Day Gift Ideas by Hardeep Kaur
It’s that time of year where every shop you go into reminds you that it is soon to be Father’s day. You might think it’s a load of corporate kack – but the pressure is on, you need to find something thoughtful and outshine your siblings, but if you’re low on funds then bring them into the equation (if you have any). Here are some gift ideas which won’t fail to impress!
(1) Dads just love adding random condiments to everything especially chilli sauce, why not take it to the next level and challenge your dad to try some extreme chilli sauce. Scorchio.co.uk specialise in everything chilli, including candy and drinks – but if you’re looking for the deadliest hot sauce try ‘Grim Reaper Doomsday Extract’ said to be 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce for £8.99.
(2) Sometimes dads spend so long in the toilet (having a poo) don’t they get bored? What is there to do for that long? Let me introduce you to the constipation companion (it’s a book by the way) 52 things to do while you poo, keeping your dad occupied whilst he does his business, find your dads new best friend for £6.95 on red5.co.uk.
(3) Is your dad obsessed with football? He might like the latest shirt from his favourite club, if he loves going to matches a season ticket isn’t a bad idea either – the price varies depending on the club.
