It can be difficult to buy the right present for the special man in your life without staring into an abyss of stereotypes and coming out with only socks or gadgets according to your budget. No matter what the occasion is, we’re pretty sure he has enough hankies with his initial on, or novelty Holiday underwear to keep him going for a lifetime. So here are our suggestions for 5 fab gifts that will suit almost every taste (and save on the washing!)
If your Dad is a car fan, why not reflect his automotive love with a practical and unique gift of a 6-speed aluminium gearshift knob umbrella from BTGMotoring.com? Presents like these are brilliant as talking points for everyone and will keep his hair in check until the sun comes out and he puts the sunroof down.
If you can't face another gadget in the house and want to get his pulse racing why not send him off on a celebratory gift experience day? With so many ways to get the adrenaline going, from driving a rally car to taking part in a tank paintball battle, you're sure to find something that he's not yet done. Just make sure he doesn't make it a regular occurrence! Try lastminute.com for a good selection.
For the man whose brain loves to acquire more facts than try an “Intelliquest” quiz book. These quizzes are good fun for all the family and after you have invested in one of the Quizmos needed for the answers to every book in the range, your man can start collecting the facts and the books straight away.
If he truly has everything on God's green earth he could wish for, get him an acre of moon! No one expects a truly out of this world present but with his own land registration card and declaration of ownership you can give him the moon on a stick for his big day.
From the moon to Keith Moon - does your man love music more than life itself? Why not give him a way to interact with his favourite tunes with the new iPod Digital Drumsticks? These are one of the hottest gifts around so you may find them hard to come by but with the ability to enhance his iPod enjoyment as well as plugging into other stereo systems, he can live out his dreams of being the next Keith Moon without losing any of the sound quality he's become accustomed to. There's even a silent option if you don't share his tastes, so everyone's happy.
If you still can't find the gift that's right for that special someone, try visiting a gift service online such as ASDA. They supply a wide range of gifts, from photo books to experiences like hot air balloon rides.
