fathers day

Former Member · June 2006

as everyone knows, fathers day is coming up. i want to get something really special for my dad, just to say thanks for his help while im at uni, i wanna show him how much i appreciate him. I have between £20 and £30 to spend. he likes dr who, the old one as well the first one. and by likes, i mean he is completely mad bout it. he is a dr who freak lol, but everyone always buys him dr who stuff, so i wanted to try and stay clear of that.

any ideas?

Instead of buying him something why don't you and him go out for the day. Might mean more to him if you spend time with each other.

well that was my original plan, but he didnt find out i was coming home for the week until the other day and they already have stuff arranged with his gfs dad for tea, been arranged for ages apparently. im spending the daytime with him, then he's out for the night

Well done! Jimmy Carr is great.

My dad will get another Toblerone, and my sister will eat most of it. Hooray for imaginative presents.

the seats we've got are quite far back, but thats to be expected two weeks before the show. ive been to skeg embassy centre before though and its not that big, so hopefully we should be ok. im really excited now tho!! :hyper:

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I remembered nothing of Fathers Day. All I can say is I'll have to find something in the next two weeks. Fucking hell...

It's still ages away

I'll probably start thinking about it about 4 days before the event. I'm bad like that ...

We'll probably end up buying my dad a bottle of whiskey or some shit. He wouldn't appreciate anything else.

Former Member · June 2006

i have 2 dads to buy for.

don't normally bother with presents for my dad as he doesn't live with me so i'd have to post it (haha

) but i haven't even got him his 50th birthday present from april yet so he can have a joint jobby.

My dad still has some whiskey left that my brother bought for him last time.

Former Member · June 2006

i think im gonna buy my dad something from oxfam probably send some trees to africa or something, just to show how i care for him

Former Member · June 2006

My dad will be getting a card, and the thought that I will be able to stay afloat financially for a few days as I didn't get him a present.

When is it fathers day? :eek:

Former Member · June 2006

Father's Day is 18th June. I've bought my Dad (well, Mum has bought for me to give to him) a tshirt which reads "A Dad is for life; not just for Father's Day". Matches the "Does my belly look big in this?" tshirt I got him last year!

I have two dads to buy for too, and today is my stepdad's 50th birthday - we had a big party for him on saturday night and I got him a picture of him and mum printed quite big and framed, then just some stuff for the bathroom which he has been decorating and put new bathroom suite in. I have no ideas what to get either of them for fathers' day now though!

When is fathers day exactly? I might buy my dad something for his brand new Yacht. My dad is so lucky he's done well at work and in his life.
Can you be proud of your father? Shouldn't it be the other way round?

read the post above you.

i'm sure he won't expect a pressie. maybe cook him a meal or bake him a cake.

i used to get my step-dad special 'you're like a dad to me' cards or get him a normal one but change the words a bit but turns out he wasn't right keen. i've never called him dad but for the past few years i've got him a normal fathers day card. i guess as i'm getting older i realise he may aswell be my dad and as such deserves recognition for it.

That's a nice idea - I might make him a cake, although with his birthday and my nan's birthday we have had quite a few cakes! I might take my stepdad, mum and half sister out for a meal, then make my real dad a cake. I will probably make them cards if I get some time to add a bit more of a personal touch, maybe with collages of photos.

My stepdad is more like my dad, although so is my real dad! I was only a few months old when my parents split up and I don't remember anything from before my stepdad was on the scene. i call both of them Dad, which does get confusing but they both treat me like their own as well.
