Hobbycraft’s Single Speed Rotary Tool Drill & Grinder

The kit contains a 1.2 volt single speed rotary tool with a plug-in transformer which is suitable for hundreds and hundreds of accessories making the DIY work that little bit easier. The rotary tool drill can be used to buffer/sand wood, metal and plastic.  It can also be used to add detail to any type of craft project.  The kit contains 44 various accessories for various projects along with instructions and all kept in an attractive aluminium carry and storage case.  I know for certain, my husband will be thrilled when he sees this and won’t be able to wait to use it! So if you have a woodwork/model building Father in your family be sure to check out this gift from your local Hobbycraft store or you can purchase it online here.  This single speed rotary tool drill and grinder costs £40.

Eversbrook Men’s Luxury Apsley White Collar Designer Shirt

Wanting to get something special for the man in your life? Well, we recommend getting the Apsley white collar casual fitted shirt from Eversbrook.  The shirt includes a unique four panel tailored fit (which by the way is only available at Eversbrook) that cut in with precision at the shoulder.  My husband tried on the shirt and totally loved it, he said it was comfy and well made, the stitching was exquisite and you could tell that it was great quality.  The shirt has a design that slims the waist and accentuates the chest, so although it is just a traditional white shirt, it is sophisticated, cool and unique and oozes confidence. Priced at £238 (currently on offer), the crisp cotton Apsley white collar shirt fitted my husband perfectly.  So if you are looking to buy men’s luxury shirts then head to Eversbrook to see the vast choices available on their website.

Marston’s Old Empire IPA Ale

What do you give someone who loves ales? Well a set of Marston’s Old Empire IPA ale of course which rightly won Silver at last year’s World Beer Awards! Here’s a little history lesson… IPA actually stands for Indian Pale Ale, this style of ale is a version of pale ale, made using more hops and with higher alcohol content. The ales were originally made in England, and the name is a result of its popularity with British troops stationed in India in the 19th century when the subcontinent was still a British colony.  Now if you want to experience a similar flavour, try the Marston Old Empire IPA which is easy to drink and has a refreshing taste.  You will immediately taste the flavour of the hop which is followed by a bitter and sweet finish at the same time.  The ale is dark comes in a set of 8 x 500ml bottles and they are perfect to be served at barbecues or on a curry night as they help enhance the flavours of spicy dishes like curries.  Priced at £15 for a set of 8 bottles, you can purchase them here or alternatively we have also seen these bottles being sold individually at local supermarkets.

Garden Trading Bermondsey Table Light

This stylish lamp is ideal for dads who love nothing more than relaxing in a comfy chair with a newspaper, book or game of Sudoku. With its classic shape, the Bermondsey table light – from Garden Trading – mixes rustic raw oak with industrial powder-coated steel for a modern effect. As a special gift for my husband, I chose the chalk option, a classy off-white with a hint of warm grey (the lamp is also available in carbon – a deep off-black with a touch of midnight blue). Both choices provide a neutral look that fits in perfectly with a variety of decors. For us, the item is perfect for one of our side tables in our lounge and will be particularly useful during the darker months. It’s also ideal to use when you need to see more clearly, for example when completing a jigsaw puzzle. Priced at £100, it’s a quality gift that can be given as an extra special Father’s Day treat.

Ion8 Leak Proof Travel Mug 

This is the perfect Father’s Day present to give a dad who is on the go all the time travelling on trains, in the car and needs his cold or hot beverage to keep him going. This vacuum insulated pro-grade stainless steel travel mug is BPA Free and comes in different shades of Pink, Black, Navy, Red and has a capacity of 360ml. What I love about the travel mug is that its a 100% leak proof and great for holding on firmly due to its textured easy grip comfort band.  This travel mug also fits most car cup holders so great when we go on days outs or long travels, love that you can flips open the mug with one hand if you have your other hand busy. it also comes with a safety lock and a convenient carry hook and fits all cup holders.  The travel mug costs £19.99 and you can purchase one here.
