Make your dad feel special this Father's Day
GiftsDirect.com makes it easy to send a gift that will put a smile on his face
We are often full of praise for our mothers and regularly treat them
to flowers or a beauty voucher to say ‘thanks for being the best mum!’
But what about our unfortunate dads? They are often overlooked or have
to make do with the same present each year, such as a tie or a
handkerchief! Don’t let another year pass without showing your dad how
much you really care. Order a unique gift through GiftsDirect.com in time for
Father’s Day on Sunday 20 June and you are sure to make your dad a very
happy man.
We’re aware that fathers are not all the same: some are quite
conservative, while others can be surprisingly adventurous; some are
gadget mad, while others prefer simple outdoor pleasures. That’s why
we’ve made Father’s
Day gift-buying a little easier for you this year by categorising
the gift to suit his personality type.
PS) Don’t forget about husbands or partners! Why not send a gift from the children to say ‘thanks for working so hard and for being the best dad ever’! After all, we all like to be appreciated!
The Traditional Dad
Then try a 12-year-old bottle of Jameson Whiskey (€59) or splash out a little and opt for a 21-year-old bottle of ‘liquid gold’, Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey (€170). For a unique day out, how about sending him on one of our father's day gift experience voucher? Try the Country Pursuits Day (€175), with three activities for him to enjoy on a country estate including archery, clay pigeon shooting and 4x4 off road Land Rover driving.
The Courageous Dad
For brave dads, how
about a Tandem
Sky Dive (€320) with speeds of up to 130mph reached during freefall?
If he’d rather sit in a plane, rather than jump from one, try the gift
voucher for a one hour Flying
Lesson in Dublin (€99), a one hour Helicopter
Flight Lesson (€450) or the half hour Dublin Scenic Helicopter
Flight (€230) for three people, meaning yourself and your mum can join
him! Young-at-heart dads will love one of our high-adrenalin Experience
Days, including the Rally
Car Driving Course (€245 for 40-45 minutes) or the Hovercrafting
and Rage Buggy Racing Experience (€150 – allow up to two hours).
The Chef
If he talks about
learning to cook (finally!), how about sending him a voucher for a
specialist cooking day, which include demonstrations and a full sit-down
lunch? Choose from the Southern
Italian Cookery Course (€110), the Japanese
Cooking Lesson (€150), the Thai
Cooking Lesson (€175), or how about the BBQ
Cooking Course, just in time for summer? Along with the Man
in the Kitchen Cooking Course (strictly men-only!), these courses
are held on weekend days and are very hands-on (€195).
The Wine Connoisseur
Send him a Newbridge
Silver Corkscrew (€30); one of our Fine
Wine 2 Bottle ‘Riviera’ gifts (€35); the Personalised
Champagne with a box of Butlers Chocolates (€54.99) - where you can
arrange for his name and the date or a message to be printed on the
wine label - or one of our Wine
and Cheese Selections (€64.74), which includes two bottles of fine
wine, Irish farmhouse cheese, cream cheese and Irish oatcakes. For dads
who have always wanted to freshen up their wine knowledge, how about the
Wine
Tasting Course Dublin (€330), held over the course of six separate
evenings?
The Golf Pro Dad
He can perfect his
swing with one of our vouchers for a one-on-one Private
Golf Lesson with a PGA Professional (€60 for one hour; €160 for 3
hours), held in a variety of locations across the country. The lessons
focus on key aspects of the game, including pitching (the key to better
impact), chipping (distance control), putting (routine and technique),
short and mid-irons (working on consistency) and long game (how to
improve distance and accuracy).
Gadget Dad
If he is, then he’ll
love the I
Wallet with Digital Photo Viewer (€69.99), which is the perfect
gift for dads who want to carry around photos of their children. The
wallet can be connected to a computer so new photos can be uploaded and
displayed as a slide show via the wallet. For bridge or crossword
lovers, go for the Handheld Bridge Mate (€64.99) or the Electronic
Crossword (€29.86). For dads who just don’t want to grow up, how about
the Remote Control Micro Bladez Apache (€48.99) – a
remote controlled helicopter – or the Remote
Control Aqua Bladez (€89) – a remote controlled speedboat.
