The Fathers Day Gift Dilemma
It’s impossible to answer, of course. For every football-loving, beer appreciating, socializing dad, there’s one who’s more at home in the potting shed or clambering up icy rock faces. For every techy electronic gadget aficionado, there’s a collector of hammers. And yet for all of them, the perfect Father’s Day gift is out there if you know where to look.
Mother’s Day is pretty straightforward. Flowers, chocolates and blush-inducing Jane Austen DVDs usually do the trick. Perhaps it’s because this celebration of motherhood stretches back a few centuries that we have developed system of rewarding our overworked mums and pampering them for one day a year.
