Even guys seem to find their fathers difficult to buy gifts for so, as it's Father's Day this Sunday, it really is time to get your thinking caps on.
If giving presents isn't your thing, you could take your Dad out for a drink or make him dinner, spend time with him by taking him out to the cinema or round of golf - just giving up that extra bit of your time will hopefully make for some great memories for both of you.
My brothers and I always club together to get our dad one great present rather than three smaller ones but, however you split it, if you want to avoid the usual socks or Amazon vouchers, here's a few suggestions to help you along.
And don't forget the handmade card - no matter how old or art-intolerant you are, the sentiment and effort will be much appreciated.
