As above really please, no real hobbies or interests apart from motoring crap but that's all I ever get him. Just turned 60. Modest budget.

Dads are a piece of p*ss; polo shirt, shirt, jumper, booze, book... Mums are a pain to buy for!

I'm a Dad. Tidied my wardrobe last weekend-23 Polo shirts, 8 jumpers (3 of which I don't recall receiving and never worn), 5 books on the go. Booze sounds good.

You can probably be trusted to buy your own!? hehe

My dad ends up wearing what we buy him or what he inherits from me or my brother.

Personally, I'm going to "dad" my kids for Christmas!

As for my father, I'm about to try and hunt down a decent bottle of Calvados.
