Something to listen to:
First up, our favourite is a bit of technology that won’t be too complicated and is sure to keep him entertained. An audiobook! Give a gift that will speak to them and isn’t a TV!
There are several websites offering Audiobooks but we like audiobooks.com. It’s very simple to use. First, you will buy them a ‘Gift Subscription’, which can range from a 1-month to 12-month subscription – much like buying a gift voucher. This gives them one free book a month, but if one book isn’t enough, you can buy additional credits at any time.
Then you simply download the app onto their device and they can choose from more than 100,000 titles including crime, comedy, biographies, sci-fi and many more so he’s sure to find something interesting to listen to.
An iBed:
If he’s into his technology this next gift could be very useful. An iBed. It allows you to use your iPad in bed, on the sofa, on a plane or anywhere you desire. Filled with microbeads for added comfort, the tray features a slot to place your tablet and has a non-slip surface great for placing your drinks and plates on. Functional and stylish, it’s the perfect gift for any iPad owner.
Dodo Book of Garden Cuttings:
If gardening is more his thing, then check out The Dodo Book of Garden Cuttings this will organise his gardening habits once and for all with this ultimate garden organiser. It has a durable wipe-clean cover to protect your horticultural inspirations from mud, mulch, and manure. Inside it’s divided into ten easy-to-use sections with where-to-do-what and what-to-do-when. If his potting shed looks more like a compost heap and his seeds are well and truly scattered, then he probably needs the Dodo Book of Garden Cuttings.
How about something tasty:
Maybe he likes good food – and who doesn’t? Why not treat your dad to a luxury cheese gift pack from Godminster? Choose from gifts like; a cheese heart and fruit cake combo, an award-winning Father’s day hamper or if you’re feeling extravagant there’s the Year of Cheese – 12 monthly deliveries of three Godminster’s cheese.
Something personalised:
