Gift ideas for difficult dads

Struggling to think of a way to treat your old man this Father''s Day? If you''re tired of giving him the same old aftershave every year, then here are a few gift ideas to make even the trickiest dad feel special.

Food for thought: For sweet-toothed fathers, a box of sophisticated liqueurs or a melt-in-the-mouth truffle selection is the perfect choice. If his gastronomic tastes are a little more refined, choose a fresh hamper sent directly to his door or book a table for two at a fancy restaurant and catch up over an a la carte meal.

Get floral: If you thought that flowers were for mums only, then think again. A bouquet is a great way to express affection and appreciation on Father''s Day. If you''re worried about feminine connotations, avoid roses and pale colours in favour of carnations, sunflowers and bright tones. Add a personalised, jokey card for added impact.

Up, up and away: Is you dad the adventurous type? If so, skip traditional gifts and send him on an adventure instead. Book a skydiving or paragliding experience, arrange for him to drive a top of the range Ferrari, or take him up in a hot air balloon. Even if your dad is past his adventuring days you can still find a fabulous day out to fit his tastes ? brewery or wine tasting tours are great alternative options.

It could be him: If Father''s Day is approaching and you''re running a little low on cash, then don''t panic: use that spare change you scraped out from the back of the sofa to buy your dad a lottery ticket or scratch card. You could be giving him the gift of his life.

Subscribe to the vibe: The best gifts continue to give pleasure all year round; which is why a subscription to a magazine or rental film outlet is such a great choice. It''ll help keep him entertained until next Father''s Day.

Treat him: A great gift doesn''t have to be something you buy in a shop. Instead of splashing your cash on your dad, treat him to a fabulous breakfast in bed or take him for a surprise walk in the countryside. When it comes to parents, the best gift that you can give is your time.
