What has everyone got for their dad’s, who are usually particularly hard to buy for?

Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!

    My dad died last year so nothing. But… I didn’t ever get him anything. He was of the opinion that he had a birthday and that was enough and that Father’s Day was just an excuse to sell cards.

    Personally, I like receiving gifts and my kids are still kids so they get excited by proxy. I like single malt whisky so there’s always that (though obviously their mum has to get involved).

    And I like to cook (come and check out https://feddit.uk/c/cooking_with_fire if you’re into barbecue of any sort!) So there’s always some little gadget or ingredient (hot sauce or something). They can get me.

      I’m sorry for you loss!

      My partner is the same, likes getting things from our kid. It’s very cute seeing father’s day from their perspective. My partner is very into bbqing (although it always brings on rain) so thanks for your suggestion.

        Kids are the best thing for making festivities (birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, etc) exciting again. They get so into them.
