Fathers Day is almost upon us....
Which for me usually means....remembering to buy the usual gift for my Dad....all he ever wants on any occasion is a bottle of whiskey, so at least he's nice & easy to sort out!
But now with Tyne in the picture, there's more to think about...
I need a gift from Tyne to his Daddy....and one from Tyne to his Grandad of course!
I've been trying to get my thinking cap on and having a good browse around the internet tonight, looking for inspiration.
I find men so tricky to buy for...they always seem to have everything they want, their hobbies and interests are so specialist that it's very difficult to know what to buy (unless you share the hobby, and I'm no war gaming fan so I don't know where to start with Jon's hobby!), and they are just not the greatest when it comes to giving out clues on what they'd like.
So instead it's down to us to be imaginative and resourceful when it comes to buying Fathers Day gifts.
So far I've come across a few things that have caught my eye....some a little out of my budget, some just silly fun ideas.....but it's all food for thought.

How cool is this Chanel watch from Watches Of Switzerland?! Jon is a real fan of nice, high quality watches and I know he would absolutely ADORE this. His watch broke recently and he's forever complaining that he's lost without it, so I know he'd appreciate the gesture.A Chanel piece like this is just perfect.....Chic & timeless.I'd better start saving!
http://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk/gifts/self-stirring-lazy-mug.htmI love quirky little gadget type gifts like this for Fathers Day....
Mothers Day is all about the pretty flowers and the nice chocolates, but Fathers Day is all about the fun and the quirky-factor!
Jon is such a gadget geek and is forever drinking coffee...so I know he'd really appreciate an unusual gift like this from Tyne!

I think this is a perfect gift from a young child to a grandparent, something they'll treasure forever.
So these are my initial thoughts on Fathers Day gifts this year, I'll be back soon with my annual comprehensive guide to the best Fathers Day gifts on the market!
