My daughter wrapped up a packet of liners for her Dad this Father’s Day, saying here’s a soft and fluffy pillow. Don’t worry Dad accidents happen. She couldn’t stop laughing the whole time he was opening it!!!

we used to give dad a pack of Bluebird Toffee wrapped in layers and layers of paper so it looked like something bigger, We thought it was hilarious, but in retrospect I’m sure it wore thin after the first few times

A pineapple – it was what he wanted or so I thought but he was hinting to favourite chocolates pineapple lumps, I just never got the hint!

I was a kid and gave my dad a Sylvester (looney tunes character) placemat..only now that I’m older I understand the look of loving appreciation/amusement on his face.

I gave my Dad a bouquet of meat. I rolled up salami in pieces of brown paper then made a bouquet with them like you would long stemmed roses.

when Nan was teaching me to knit many years ago I made the most hideous mix matched scarf for my dad – and he wore it! (not to often)

comical underpants

Father’s Day in 2013 was on the same dad as my nanna’s birthday. We accidentally swapped the wrong gifts, nanna got a nice tool kit whilst my partner accidentally received a large box of yarn and needles!

Gave my dad tickets to Puppetry of the Penis stage show, because he liked comedy, he was not amused! Told me never to give him another present again.

My kids gave my hubby a shirt saying happy farters day, they thought it was the funnest thing ever. And they made him wear it out for lunch.

MY Father suffers with dementia and we gave him puzzles to do with string and boards and knots. It was great fun watching him try really hard to work it out and eventually days later he came up with it.

Kids selected for him a pair of “toe” socks…because the socks had their favourite rabbits on them. He really hates wearing thongs, certainly with socks, but the socks get worn with conventional shoes!

We gave my dad a recreated photo of us from when we were little

When the kids were little hubby kept talking about getting a pool table. So I got him one. Only trouble was it was only about 20 cm long. Of course it didn’t help when one of the girls ate one of the balls, thinking it was a lolly.

A tiny tabletop ping pong table, measuring one foot x 2 feet, given to Dad after he was saying how much he missed playing ping pong after he downsized and had to sell his table tennis table.

I’ve given a bag of coal because he kept saying he didn’t want or need anything but I had to give something & turns out he loved it reckons it was the best ever & used it on the barbecue!

The funniest present that I have given my dad for Father’s day was deodorant.

We gave Dad a Mr Grumpy fridge magnet set

A electric toothbrush

gave my dad a ash tray even when he doesn’t smoke
