Father's Day gifts for less

By Rachel Robson

Father's Day is upon us, so if you're racking your brains for some inspiration, don't panic! Here's a round-up of some fabulous Father's Day gifts at affordable prices...

Gadgets and games

I don't know a man on this planet who doesn't have an interest in all things gadgety. And right now Burton is offering a fabulous range of reasonably priced gadgets, gizmos and games to suit every taste! How about a funky Key Bottle Opener from just £5.00? Or this Host Your Own 70's Night Quiz Game for £8? For more ideas for games from just £10, click here.

Graham and Green also has a wide range of groovy gifts such as these gorgeous Wooden Retro Game Sets from just £9.95. And if you enter the code M9DAD at the online checkout by 21 June you'll get free standard delivery.

Fashion and fragrance

If your dad is a bit of a style guru, he's bound to love something new for his wardrobe! And at House of Fraser there's currently 'buy one get one half price' on selected menswear and accessories.

Meanwhile, TM Lewin is offering free delivery on orders over £50 if you enter the code FDL50 at the online checkout. And if you spend more than £100, you'll get £15 off by using the code 15BAK. Both of these codes are valid until 20 June.

Loking good is one thing - smelling good is quite another. If you looking for something a little different, and a little fun, why not try David Beckham's signature fragance for less than £12?

Chocolate and booze

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so if your dad has a bit of a sweet tooth, a scrumptious box of chocolates might be the way to go.

And I just love this Father's Day hamper from Thorntons which currently has £5 off at £20! We've also got a chocolate sports car, and Chocolate hampers from less than £10.

However, if that still seems a little expensive, why not tell your dad how much you love him with these I Love Dad Chocolate Cups for just £2.99.

Not to be outdone, Hotel Chocolat also has a range of Father's Day gifts including this Father's Day Collection Gift Bag at £15.

On the other hand, if your dad likes a tipple, Interflora is offering some gorgeous wine and ale hampers for Father's Day. For example, this fabulous Gourmet Delights basket is £34.99. And if you spend more than £25 you'll get 10% off with the exclusive code lovemoney10 . This expires on 20 June.

Books

If your dad likes nothing more than a good book, Waterstones is offering up to half price on a variety of books. For example, The Dad's Book: For The Dad Who's Best At Everything is now £4.99, while Michael Connelly's The Scarecrow is now £9.49 in hardback.

There's also huge discounts on Father's Day books at Kelkoo. And if your dad likes to think of himself as a bit of a whiz in the kitchen he might enjoy Dad's Own Cookbook from Amazon just £5.49.

Days out

If your dad is more of the outdoorsy sort, why not treat him to a fantastic day out? Buyagift.co.uk is currently offering a wide range of packages such as this Aston Martin Driving Experience which is now £75. And you can bag an extra 10% off if you use the exclusive code lovemoney10 (only valid when you spend more than £50). For more inspiriational ideas, click here.

On the other hand, if your dad is more of a wine buff he might enjoy this Vineyard Tour, Tasting and Lunch for Two package at Bolney, West Sussex, courtesy of Lastminute.com . And right now there's 25% off so you can pick it up for £56.25.

If you're on a smaller budget, this Winery and Brewery Tour for Two in Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire is just £18.

The personal touch

Why not make your gift extra special by adding a personal touch? At Truprint you can create your own personalised card.

This Dear Dad: From You To Me journal will provide the ultimate personal touch at just £11.95 from Gettingpersonal . Your dad will be able to look back on all of his special memories by answering questions set out on each page - such as where he met your mother and what his greatest memory is.

Be creative

If money really is tight and splurging on presents just isn't feasible, why not simply spend some quality time with your dad.

Perhaps you could cook him a special meal or spend the day with him doing something he enjoys, such as playing golf or doing a spot of gardening.

Spending quality time with your dad can be just as special (if not more so) than spending lots of money on a gift!

Enjoy!
