Gift Idea: Father's Day Phone Fun

Hi guys,
We're officially 1 month away from Father's day (it's on Sunday 15th June this year - don't forget!) which means it's time to start thinking about gifts, home cooked lunches, and other treats to make them feel special. This year I have two very special Father's day presents to buy: one for my own daddy, and one for Wilbur to give to Mike. If you're looking for a personalised and sentimental present (which both Mike and my dad are absolute suckers for) then I really like these phone cases that you can personalise with your own photos:



No, that isn't just a random array of babies: that's all of my nieces and nephews (and the perfect present for my Dad!) There are lots of different types of phone cases to choose from: Mike and I prefer the hard cases whilst my dad likes the extra protection of a full leather case. It's funny what parenthood does to you isn't it? My lovely Marc Jacobs phone case was replaced by a big photo of Wilbur almost instantly!

Want a phone case of your own, either for yourself or to gift that special chap in your life? (You don't have to use baby photos of course)You can get a 10% discount on a Mr Nutcase phonecase when you enter the code 'Thanku10' at the checkout right now: my Father's Day gift to all of you!

Have you started thinking about your Father's day gifts yet? What will you be doing for your dad?

The fashionable Father's Day gift guide

Hi guys,
I have a confession to make: I am a terrible daughter. This year I managed to forget my dad's birthday! It completely slipped my mind: I even called home on the day without remembering at all until my mum reminded me! So to make up for it, I am planning to make this Father's Day a good one!

Want to be a good daughter and not a terrible one like me? Then make a note that Father's Day is this Sunday (17th June 2012). If you do nothing else, pop a card in the post and pick up the phone this weekend!

Want to do more than send a card? And aren't crafty enough to make a homemade present (because everyone knows if you can craft, handmade gifts are always well-received)? Well then if you have a fashionable dad (and I really do!) then this fashionable Father's day gift guide may help. And I promise there isn't a cheesy mug or pair of 'I love Dad' socks in sight:

Digiplex watch, Storm, was £69.99 now £44.99
Tan satchel, Cambridge Satchel Company, £93
Alexander McQueen skull cufflinks, Mr Porter, £93
Jil Sander dino jumper, £490 (Yes, I know this one is expensive but this is a wishlist!)
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Debenhams, £28.50
J by Jasper Conran wallet, Debenhams, £18
Vintage-style shoe cleaning kit, Amazon, £12.25
Red slim chinos belt, Topman, £12

In the end I went with aftershave (and a few other bits) for my dad, but I wish I'd seen those McQueen cufflinks before I hit the shops: they are seriously cool!

Do you celebrate Father's Day? If so what will you be doing for your dad this weekend?
