MrK Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I’m absolutely terrible at buying gifts for people. Mother’s Day gifts for my wife and mum generally consist of a card and chocolates. Christmas gifts for my wife and parents usually consist of gift vouchers etc. Last Fathers Day I made an effort and bought my old man the World’s Hottest Potato Chip. He absolutely loved it. So I’m hoping to continue this theme and am on the look out for suggestions for more “quirky” gifts. Longer term I thought this could be a thread where those of us with zero imagination can come for ideas for various gifts for family and friends. Apologies in advance if there is a similar thread, I had a quick search to no avail. So UKFF, before this very quickly turns in to a thread on shitting, throw me some unique gifting ideas???

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2021 Well.. If you don't want shit unimaginative gifts then they need to be somewhat personal. So it might help if we knew something of you, your father, his interests and your relationship with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrK Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I was just looking for general ideas for quirky gifts. However as you ask, he’s generally a miserable git who spends his days commenting on his neighbours new extension. He likes beer and food. And he loved last years gift (hottest chip) and still brings it up almost a year later. My first pets name was Ginger. My mother’s maiden was Jones. My front door is the colour grey.

MrK Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 One Chip Challenge This was what I got him 12 months ago. Continuing along the same lines, I’ve so far thought of the following… Surströmming The world’s smelliest canned fish. or Beithir Fire Beer The world’s strongest beer. I’m swaying towards the beer as I think the fish would be unfair on mum… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathrey Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 In a slight side note? It's my husbands first fathers day and I wanted to get something a bit special for him. Is as thinking of getting a personalised book made for him (and my son) is that a bit too sentimental? He is a bit of whiskey whiskey fan so the other option was getting him some fancy whiskey but that doesn't seem soppy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had etched pictures of myself and my son, some personalised keyring, mugs etc (which I keep on my desk at work to show off my handsome son). One mother's day I got my partner a watch with the face an etched picture on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
