What has everyone got for their dad's, who are usually particularly hard to buy for?

Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!

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.

@Ni @juniper It gets harder to buy parent gifts as they get older :/

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!

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?
