Tip: Fathers Day – June 20th

Fathers day is the next big calendar event that you’ll get bombarded with advertising about and have offer upon offer thrust upon you about – it’s funny how around fathers day everything that was already on sale online is suddenly ‘perfect for dads’ isn’t it?

Having said that it’s no bad thing, my dad is very difficult to buy for so more often than not I rely on suggestions and adverts I see online and on the TV to give me much needed ideas. Dads are harder to buy for than Mums aren’t they? My mum is always thrilled with some flowers, a plant, some chocs, a bit of jewellery – all the usuals. Dads who aren’t into gadgets like mine are much harder.

Well here’s the first in a series of suggested gifts for fathers day from UK-Bargains.net.

How about a shirt from Blair.com?

The first thing you need to do is hit up the clearance men’s shirts section because any self respecting bargain hunter always hits the clearance section first. They have casual shirts starting from just $14.99 (about £10), at that price you could even afford to buy two

They have some real funky (and when I say funky, I don’t mean that in a good way) shirts in the collection, but they also have some real gems. My dad likes simple, classic clothes and they have plenty available that I am confident he will love. They also sell a wide range of other items – from sweaters and smart shirts to dog food and napkins – there is surely something there for even the worlds pickiest dad (and I think my dad would be a contender to win that award). They also only charge an additional $5 for shipping outside the US which is a lot less than 90% of other US based companies out there!

Don’t forget to get some special for your dad this fathers day – Sunday June 20th.
