Father's Day presents and plans

Father's Day is only a week away, and I'm looking forward to what has become a family tradition in recent years - dinner at my favourite Japanese restaurant with the kids.

In the meantime I must get something for my old man. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it's never easy to find something for him.

How are you going with your Father's Day present shopping? And for those Dads out there - are you giving any subtle hints about what's on your wish list?

It would also be great to hear about your plans for celebrating on the day.

I am lucky enough to be flying to the UK to see my old man in time for father's day - completely unplanned but no doubt he will rope me into a couple of D.I.Y jobs around his cottage with the promise of a beer and scotch to celebrate....

Some times the unplanned projects are the best ones 😋

For mine, a good bottle of whiskey is always a great option.

Other than that, a wallet is definitely something I could do with or I do have my heart set on a smoker for some slow cooking!

Pretty easy this year - Dad's after a new bbq - a Matador Boss 4 burner specifically - so we're all giving cash or gift cards to go towards that. Takes the pressure off 🙂

I'm all out of ideas for the old man this year! Anyone got any good suggestions? He's into 4WDing, fishing, cars....

Picked up a cordless caulking gun today and might get a tiller to fix the side garden bed.

For people who are difficult to buy for I always like to give "experiences" like a dinner or a movie voucher, or tickets to an event or show.

Anything but jocks and socks!

How was everyone's Father's Day?

Did any of the dads out there get spoilt?

I had a big breakfast celebration with the wider family at our place yesterday which was a lot of fun, and a great Japanese meal last night with my wife and boys.

We ended up buying dad a swag for Father's day and he absolutely loved it! Now to get camping and put it to good use in summer...

Father's Day is nearly upon us again!

I'm looking forward to continuing the tradition of a dinner with the kids at my favourite restaurant.

What are your plans for the day? Got any great gift ideas you can share?

I need to get cracking on something for my old man.... For those like me that are yet to do any shopping, this might be a good place to start - https://www.bunnings.com.au/gift-ideas/gifts-by-occasion/fathers-day

I’m thinking about being cheeky and buying my own present - a Ring doorbell. I like the idea of being able to see who is at the door on my mobile wherever I am. But might have to wait for Christmas!

My go-to (less-than-thoughtful) gift for my dad every year is a Bunnings voucher with some craft beers. He's right into his Stouts and Black Ales at the moment so will be a few of those.

Plans - seeing my dad Sat morn then spendign Sunday with #wifey and my kids. We'll go for a hike (weather permitting), lunch, dinner, coffee, the lot. They always make it a special day for me and spoil me with love and gifts 🙂

Our condolences @TheSaltyreefer, we are so sorry for your loss. Hope you have a special day of celebrating his life with your family.

What does everyone have planned for Sunday? Is anyone struggling for gift ideas this year?

Unfortunately, due to Melbourne's ongoing lockdown I won't be able to see my Dad this Father's Day but hopefully soon. I've arranged for a delivery to him instead.

Father's Day is round the corner again. Anyone planning anything special this year? If you're stuck for ideas, check out these Father's Day gift ideas shared by some devoted dads in the Workshop community.

I gave my old man an early gift this year. Flew back home to Singapore with my daughter and turned up unexpectedly at his door. One of the best Father's Day celebrations we've had together as a family.

Would love to hear about your plans too.

How did everyone's Father's Day plans go yesterday? Any dads out there get spoilt?

It was a beautiful day in Melbourne here yesterday with lots of sunshine. We had a lovely family brunch followed by a leisurely stroll in our local park.

Hope everyone had a great day.
