Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas

Last year's "Last Minute Father's Day Gift Guide" was so popular that I felt compelled to write another simply because I've struggled for years to find the perfect gift for my own dad, my father-in-law and my husband.  Here are some quick ideas that you can get delivered this week to save you any last minute panicking!

For the DIY addict... 


Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas - Sugru Rebel Tech Kit
I discovered Sugru about a year ago and we always have a couple packets in the house now. Simply explained, it's mouldable glue that hardens into flexible rubber within 24 hours and can be used to fix and repair almost anything (I even mended our dishwasher cutlery tray with it).  The guys at Sugru have now launched their Rebel Tech Kit for just £10 and this includes 14 project ideas to get you going.


For the music fan... 

Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas - EC Technology Bluetooth Speaker
We are huge fans of EC Technology products in this house as their tech gear is always (a) useful and (b) portable. This rechargable bluetooth speaker with enhanced bass (currently £14.99) lets you listen to music anywhere but also looks pretty stylish too.


For the stationery buff...

Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas - Say Nice Things Stationery FlipFlop pocket notebooks
Notebooks will never, EVER not be useful but Say Nice Things Stationery have gone one step further with their latest product.  The FlipFlop pocket notebook has a unique reversible design and comes with lined and grid page layout - just simply flip the book to switch between the two.  They come in a set of three for £6.99 or as a single in three different colours for £2.99 each. 


For the fashion conscious...

Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas - Hotter Shoes - Energise Shoes
I'm a huge fan of Hotter Shoes and own about eight pairs, all in different styles and colours. They are sooooo comfy - it honestly feels like you are wearing slippers.  Recently their men's range has had some great additions and I can recommend Energise Shoes range for that mid-point between formal shoes and trainers. They retail at £75 which is a fabulous price for leather and comfort combined. 

(as an aside : did you see the "Holiday Packing Tips" article I wrote for Hotter Shoes recently?)


For the fitness freak...

Father's Day Gift Guide 2017 - 5 Last Minute Ideas - massage roller, resultsport
All fitness fanatics have the occasional niggle and a massage never goes amiss.  You can always purchase a couple of sessions from a local sports masseuse or cheaper option would be an athletic massage or foam roller. I used a small one from ResultSport on Amazon that cost just £6.95 but there are lots of different sizes to choose from.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
