Fathers Day tends to get a lot more air time in our house than Mothers Day for some reason! The boys love to treat the hard working Dada Fairy for Fathers Day so we decided to pick out some of our favourites below. I am very much in favour of pracitcal gifts or gifts that mean something. I loathe spending unnecceasarily, so with that in mind the Mamma Fairy house has picked a couple bits that are well worth checking out and wont break the bank either:
Handy cheap and cheerful gifts
While not the cheapest in the gift guide I think this from Lidl is well worth checking out.
With the advent of contactless payments the security of cards has certainly become an issue. It is so easy now to pay or perhaps even accidently pay with your card therefore a wallet like this from Lidl would be well worth considering. Its aluminum which protects the card itself and has in built technology which blocks the abiltiy to be able to use the contactless function in your pocket etc. (pic credit: Lidl) At €24.99 is at a good price point too. Availble in Lidl at the moment.
Lidl also have a huge range of cheap gifts from aftershaves to novely golf balls, to mugs to insulated cups to superhero tshirts. Safe to say most budgets are covered here with prices starting at €2.99. The kids wanted to buy the Dada Fairy the golf balls pitcured opposite! They thought they were hilarious! However the Dada Fairy doesnt even play golf!! (Pic credit: lidl).
I was in my local lidl today and picked up some great beer glasses, they had loads of types like the tulip style ones or the 300ml sampler type ones. Another good option for Fathers Day and at €4.99 per set great value and practical too!
Sentimental Gift
The Dada Fairy lives for his boys and he loves nothing more than filling the house with pictures of the boys or mementos to mark occassions. I totally fell in love with these personalised gifts from Makeitwithwords.com. 
The pencil style portraits are amazing and can be personlised with any text and framed. Love love love them.
For any musical dads I love the mix tape picture where you can add the name of songs or bands that mean something. You can also add personalised text to it too. There is something about a personalised gift. Make it Words are a family business and my love of supporting local and small business is well known. They make a whole range of amazing personalised gifts from all occasions not just Fathers Day.
Or what about a real throw back once in a life time gift? How about a trip of a lifetime on a spitfire flight or even a simulator experience? I know in this house the Dada Fairy and his own father would go wild for this!
Snuggly Gifts
Dads deserve to be pampered too! These snuggly pajamas with cute prints are the perfect gifts to spoil your dad on Father’s Day. They’re made from the softest eco-friendly bamboo viscose, a material that’s naturally hypoallergenic and thermoregulating. Bamboo fabric may also have antibacterial properties, which is a huge plus. Most importantly, there’s an entire line of pajamas for dads, moms, and babies so the entire family can all get snuggly in bed together!
Special Hobby Set
Got a dad who enjoys acquiring all sorts of handy skills? Give him something new to learn with this bump key set. Bump keys are specially designed to open certain kinds of locks through a process called lock bumping. Lock bumping is one of the many techniques locksmiths and locksport enthusiasts use to open locks. If your dad is fond of tinkering and fixing things, he’ll love lock picking and learning how to use different lock picking tools. Get him started on that path by giving a whole set of beginner’s tools!
Grooming!!
I was having a nosey in Dealz last week and and I saw a card suitable for the Dada Fairy – “Bearded Dads 
make the best dads”. I know its totally tounge in cheek and yes I did buy it as the beard is a long running joke in our house. This lead me to our next option! See here from Top Men Shavers which has some great articles on types of razors ( I havent a clue about anything like that) and some gift ideas for the bearded men in our lives!
I love this old school shaving kit pictured opposite. (Pic Credit: Top Men Shavers)
Lild and Dealz have some great very reasonably priced cards too.
