WE all make a big fuss of our mums on Mother’s Day but it seems that our dads can miss out a bit when it comes to saying thank you to them.
So with this in mind and Father’s Day fast approaching (for those who don’t have the date in the diary, it’s this Sunday) here are a few ideas to keep your dad feeling spoilt and loved – as they all should be!
TomTom XL IQ Routes is great for dads who are the kids’ taxi.
£179.99 at Halfords and Comet.
Dads will love this up-to-date Roberts Revival Radio. From Marks and Spencer for £149.
This funky folk woven leather belt is a great present. From Jingo in CrownGate for £44.99.
Fashionable Clarks Desert Trek scratched leather shoe. £64.99 available at Jingo, CrownGate.
Addict leather wallets. Very slim and stylish. From Jingo, CrownGate, for £29.99 each.
For those who like to get out in the garden this book is perfect.
From Marks and Spencer, £15.
This is just a great T-shirt for all dads on Father’s Day and it is even better because money will be donated to the British Forces Foundation when you buy it from Burton in the High Street, Worcester. At £16 it’s a great price too!
Laugh with these cuddly animals
WE could all do with a laugh, especially at the moment, and the latest products to hit the shelves at Hawkins Bazaar in CrownGate Shopping Centre are just the thing to raise a chuckle.
Chuckle Buddies are soft, motionactivated dogs and monkeys.
They lie in wait with a clever movement sensor and when they do sense some motion, they spring into life, laughing out loud and rolling around in fits of chuckles – a great source of fun.
The cuddly spaniel or monkey, pictured, Chuckle Buddies are priced £14.99 each and are available from the store now.
