why are fathers so hard to shop for?! i drew my dad in our family's secret santa & i have NO ideas!
I dont like Shopping for my father either. They are just so hard to shop for.
Dads don't want anything - that's why it's difficult. Nothing permanent anyway.
Get your Dad something conusmable: his favourite drink, his favourite sausage or favourite biscuits - something like that. Or a ticket to a show/sports event. He probably doesn't need any more clutter so get something consumable.
And if anyone's missing UK Christmas quiz culture - check out my xmas quiz: reindeerquiz.co.uk
Cheers
