June 2, 2017 /

So to make the hunt for the perfect Father’s Day present a little easier for you, I’ve put together this fab list below to create my Father’s Day Gift Guide for 2017. These are not your usual present, and are all available from independent brands and small businesses.

I’m also offering one of my readers the chance to win one of these fabulous products for yourselves. Have a read to find out more…..

Contrado personalised slippers and cufflinks

Contrado Personalised Slippers

We love these and we received a pair of slippers and cufflinks to try out for ourselves. Both items can be customised however you like. The personalised slippers start from £38.00, and you have a choice of six colour trims to match your selected design, or the clothes that the man in your life wears. The cufflinks start from £18.00, and you can select either a round or circle shape. Just like the slippers you can upload any image you want for the design. Both items are simple to create in the handy upload and editing tool on the Contrado website.

This Is Your Cook Book personalised cook book

Personalised Cook Book

As a family who love cooking, and who have many cook books, this is a brilliant idea. We received a personalised cook book, and I am so impressed with the quality and recipes inside. The cover is a soft matt finish, featuring striking imagery, and the name of your recipient. The recipes also look eye-wateringly yummy too. I hope that my husband is going to enjoy cooking some of these meals for me. The personalised cook books are £15.00, plus £2.95 delivery, and you can choose your front cover design, a message, and either add your own favourite recipes, or choose from the list on the website. Perfect!

The morning side kick journal

Master your morning side kick journal

I’m a firm believer in setting every day goals at the start of each day. And, this is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to be better at getting things done and conquering their mornings. The concept behind the morning side-kick journal is setting yourself small actionable tasks to complete in the morning, and then ticking these off as you achieve them. You then evaluate how you felt, and what benefits it brought to you, and then applying these to the next morning. I really like the sound of this book, I might just have to keep this one for myself. The morning side kick journal costs in the region of £33.00, and can be ordered from Habit Nest which includes shipping to the UK.

Don’t Buy Her Flowers Father’s Day Package

Don't Buy Her Flowers Man Package

I am a huge fan of Don’t Buy Her Flowers, which was initially set-up to deliver presents to women who had just had a baby. Not just any presents, but presents that people want like a magazine, gin and chocolate. After all who wants flowers, you’ve already got a baby to look after. This concept has grown and you can now get a Man Package. It’s brilliant the package contains chocolate tiffins, a Mens Magazine, Scott-Nichol Socks, Gourmet Nuts, Coffee Beans, and Clinique gift. So this really is the perfect present, that any man would appreciate. The Father’s Day Package is available from £30.00.

Bubble Babysitting

Bubble Babysitting App

If your husband or partner has everything, then why not offer him a spontaneous gift of a couple of hours babysitting to enable him to spend time with friends, pop to the pub, play golf, or anything.

They are great way to explore towns, cities and villages, cracking the clues whilst taking in the sights, so they are perfect for any man who likes exploring.
