Fathers Day with a Twickenham photographer!
Ok so its Fathers Day on Sunday and you’ve got to think of buying gifts for your husband, your Dad your Grandpa – the list is neverending!
Gifts for men are always a bit tricky I find. Is he a techie, a foodie, into health and fitness? You can obviously go to their favourite clothes store or buy their favourite chocolates and of course Ive done (and do) this regularly, but I do like to try when I can to do something really special and something meaningful to them. Here’s my Top 10 list (in no particular order) of some of the more personal gifts Ive bought for my husband which have gone down well. Hopefully this will fill you with some inspiration if you’re struggling this year!
1. An Aspinals personalized embossed leather wallet – Aspinals Wallet from £135
2. Framed photo/art work – I created a surprise newborn fine art image of our new baby in a handmade angora New England Patriots trousers and top complete with little angora American football. For any avid sports fans you can imagine his delight when he opened the framed fine art picture of his own mini me to hang on the wall! (ive fished out the image below! 🙂 ) Victoria Nixon Photography framed fine art images from £85
3. Personalised pottery – In Twickenham I am lucky that I have a brilliant variety of art cafes near me so I got my kids to come hand stamp and design mug and matching plate for his morning toast & honey – he thought it was lovely and always uses his special plate! Happy Potter Cafe Teddington, Prices from £10
4. A Sports car experience – I bought my husband a very special trip to Brooklands Mercedez for a test drive in the new latest AMG sports car. He was abslutely blown away! Merecedez Benzworld AMG Experience, from £205
5. Personalised matching t-shirts – I bought this for my. hubby and our two boys (whilst we were expecting the second) with a personal tag line on each – another successful purchase 🙂 Notonthehighstreet, from £30
6. Luxury shaving brush & razor set – I found this from the English Shaving Company.com and it now takes pride of place in our bathroom The English Shaving Co, from £65.
7. A luxury manbag – (a bit like the equivalent of a womans handbag I guess), House of Fraser, from £84.99
8. A Spa day – If your partner or Dad is the type to enjoy a bit of massage & relaxation then this will go dow a treat. I tagged along on a spa dayand threw in a bit of afternoon tea – win win! Pennyhill Park Spa, from £250
9. A personalised Pork Pie – Now seriously which man doesnt like pork pies! Ocado, ‘Dad’ pork pie £5
10. A photoshoot with his favourite photographer! – Of course this had to make the list 🙂 Now my husband is a very lucky boy being married to his own personal photographer but you’d be surprised at how little time we have to actaully utilise my skills for ourselves. So although I do take them all out occassionally to get some updated pics, more often than not ohotos for my own family get neglected. We therefore really like to make the most of special occassions and birthday etc to get create some memories for ourselves and the children to add to our collection. Fathers Day Mini photoshoot gift, £99
