Father’s Day Gift Guide

If your dad is anything like mine then he has suffered a life time of socks, ties and pyjama’s. Unfortunately as my dad retired, ties were no longer a sensible or thoughtful gift… ‘But you love ties dad’ and while socks and pyjamas are still very much appreciated, I am under no illusion that I could do better. I once got him an engraved pen – but this – while it seems thoughtful neglects the fact that I know he probably would have appreciated a multi pack of bic biros more.

So if you’re struggling to buy your Father something this Father’s Day (its s the 14th of June btw) then hopefully our SLiNK gift guide will give you some ideas…
