In case it’s slipped your mind, this is a little reminder that Father’s Day is on the horizon. It’s Sunday 21st June this year.
If you’re anything like me, this means a few gifts and cards need sorting. I have a dad, a father-in-law and a husband that I need to arrange presents for, get the cards in and have the Husband and Boo writing some cards. I suspect Boo will do something at school for her dad, too, as they did for Mother’s Day, so I look forward to seeing what that will be.
What to get is always a challenge. The men in my life don’t really ask for much, and as it was the Husband’s birthday this week, it always comes just after he receives plenty of lovely gifts anyway. I think it’s often about the gesture, isn’t it? Showing them that they are loved and appreciated. A few of our go-to ideas are chocolates, alcohol, clothes, aftershave, and then there’s the whole world of accessories, too.
Hats, belts, wallets, gloves, ties and cufflinks. All must see a surge in sales come this time of year. If you’re struggling for ideas, hit these departments!
So along with this reminder, I’ve a pair of Howick cufflinks available to give away. I’ll struggle to guarantee delivery in time for Father’s Day now, as they’ve only just become available to me to offer you, so I’ve run the competition for a little while longer. But hey, I’m sure there are plenty of other gift-giving occasions you can use them for, or maybe you just want them as a little treat for yourself. To enter the competition, simply use the rafflecopter below. Give-away closes at 12am 13th July 2015, open to UK entrants only.
