Buying gifts for fathers
All dads have those funny habits of snoring, sleeping, dancing, farting, and being scared of mum (yes, they are). But, they provide the security and leadership that every family needs.
They can be stern, tell you off and shout at you more than you would like. On the other hand, who will get the takeaway, pick you up, and even carry your dance costume or muddy football boots? If anyone deserves a cheeky gift it has to be your cheek old man!
He won’t be too bothered if it’s expensive or not, as he probably contributed to buying it. But most of all, get it right and just be ready to feel on top of the world with that cheeky nod of approval. It’s what we are all after from our good ole daddy!
Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.
