Usually I just need to buy a gift for my own Dad, but now I need to choose a gift on behalf of Tyne for his Daddy too!
So I've been thinking long and hard about what to get for them both, and so far have come up with the following ideas....
For My Dad
Demijohn Scottish Bramble Whisky
This fine Bramble Scotch Whisky Liqueur is the perfect gift for a Dad who likes his tipple! Made in East Lothian from Scottish brambles, it has a fantastically rich taste which my own Dad greatly approved of when he was sent a sample to try! He swears he will never accept a bottle of Super Market Own Label whisky as a Fathers Day gift again! ;)
Demijohn's Fathers Day set is really something special as a personal message can be added to the bottle for no extra charge!
Available from http://www.demijohn.co.uk/fathers-day-box-set and priced at £51.55 for a 500ml Wooden Box SetMoonpig Beer Fest Gift Set
The set contains 3 bottles of quality ale with personalised labels - you can choose the text to feature on the bottles, which made ordering very fun as I tried to decide what to have printed on them!
Along with the beer, you also get a Pint glass with "Fathers Day - no1 Dad 2013" printed on, along with a coaster, a packet of Awfully Posh Pork Scratchings, A packet of chilli harissa nuts and a pack of chocolate covered nuts!

This set is available from www.moongpig.com and costs £25.00Staples Luxury Leather Notebook
This gorgeous leather spiral bound notebook is an ideal gift for a Dad who likes to be organised and really do it with style!My Dad runs his own business so he'd find a notebook like this really handy for keeping track of his outgoings, etc. The notebook is priced at £15 and is from a new range available from any Staples store or from www.staples.co.uk
E-Cloth Car Cleaning Kit
Like most older men, my Dad is very car proud and is forever tinkering around with his car! The e-auto range of car cleaning accessories significantly reduces car cleaning time and costs, and as the products are anti-static it means that no dust is attracted to the interior or exterior of the car when washed.Their selection of products include:e-auto Dual Action Mitt - £6.99Effortlessly removes grease and dirt on large areas of bodywork, in particular those hard to reach areas such as around wiper arms. Used dry, the fiber fronds attract and lock in dust whilst the soft side is ideal for gently rubbing stubborn marks.
e-auto Dual Action Sponge - £6.99Gently but efficiently cleans away grit and dirt from all painted surfaces and glass using just water. The anthracite gray side features special stiffer fibres, which easily remove stuck on dirt and bugs without scratching.
e-auto Car Cleaning Cloth - £4.99Perfect for all round cleaning, when used dry it makes an excellent duster to trap dirt.
E-Auto products are available from TK Maxx stores and www.e-cloth.com , and prices start from £4.99
For Tyne's Daddy
Green & Blacks Chocolate
Like me, Tyne's Daddy is real chocaholic! So my first thought when thinking of Fathers Day gift ideas was some really nice chocolate!But of course, with it being Fathers Day you don't just want to give them a bog standard bar of any old chocolate! You want something special.So I immediately thought of Green & Blacks Organic - their gifting range provide the perfect solution to the age old problem of which variety of chocolate to buy!!The gorgeously presented boxes contain twelve mini bars in a mix of dark & milk chocolate flavours, including treats such as Spiced Chilli and Sea Salt!
The Gifting Collections are available from http://www.greenandblacks.co.uk/ and prices start at £5.49Bjorn Borg Socks
Every man always needs more socks! Its just a fact of life!
No matter how many pairs you bought them for Christmas, you can guarantee they'll have holes in the toes by now!So socks are always a good bet when it comes to buying gifts for Jon - and these rather eye catching ones from Bjorn Borg really caught my eye!The quality is fantastic (I think these will certainly last him a while!) and the variety of styles and colours is vast, so there's something for everyone!
Bjorn Borg socks are available from www.bjornborg.com and are priced at £10.00
SkyCigs e-Cigarettes
SKYCIG e-cigarette's allow smokers to enjoy the physical act of smoking, without the obvious health implications associated with smoking tobacco – they contain just a small dose of nicotine, which is delivered in the form of water vapour, yet they do not contain the 4,000 harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes.
Tyne's Daddy has been trialling the SKYCIGs for the last couple of weeks and we will be discussing his thoughts next week!
With a selection of seven unique and great tasting flavours– Classic Tobacco, Tobacco Gold, Menthol, Vanilla, Cherry, Cinnamon, Crown Tobacco – and available in three varying strengths – Bold, Regular and Light – SKYCIG will guarantee satisfaction, without compromising on taste or enjoyment of the dreaded habit.
What’s more, SKYCIG e-cigarettes costs up to 75 per cent less than traditional cigarettes, leaving you with more money to enjoy the finer things in life!
