I didn’t get my dad a gift, just popped a card in the post. Now I’m thinking maybe I’m a crap daughter and I’ll ruminate on that for a while.
I'm popping out to get a card this morning, and a stamp, and I'll have to sign it and post it before last post so it stands a chance of getting there only a little late.
Dad knows I am there for him when the shit hits the fan. He's visiting my sister tomorrow.
Sounds great, I bought all my cards last min yesterday.... All thay really matters is knowing you'll be there for him
You could try using Punkpost if it’s available where you are. They’re beautiful and you can include photos and other goodies if you want.
@Ni @juniper It gets harder to buy parent gifts as they get older :/
I find dad's particularly tricky to buy for! And you are right, they get harder to buy for as they get older. I've found myself leaning more on days out and experiences. Maybe a meal?
Yes! To be fair he was going to come down for a visit (we’re 100 miles apart) but he wants to go to the track and watch motorbike racing instead. I’m just happy he’ll be doing what he enjoys. :)
To be fair, that sounds absolutely amazing and great to get doing something together!
I won’t be going with him lol, he’s 100 miles up north - where I’m originally from.
Sorry I misread! At least you know he's doing something he lives doing!
He'll love the card and the thought. I'm only getting my dad a card, but my partner I've got a day out. If its playing on your mind maybe offer to take him out to a place he'd like.
