Either going to get my Dad a variety of different beers or a Snuggie.

Leaning towards the Snuggie cos you get 2 for 1 and I can keep one for me!

If I got my dad a snuggie he would disown me and cast me out on to the street.

I'll probably get him the last part of the last series of Battlestar Galactica on DVD.

I was told my dad wants "clothes"

I wish he narrowed that field down for me :(

I normally just ask what he wants, which generally turns out to be a specific DVD, which I then go buy and give to him in the bright yellow JB bag (though I do remove the receipt and pricetag). SURPRISE.

I dropped all contact with my father in 2002, so Father's Day is a breeze for me! But you can't go wrong with alcohol (unless your dad doesn't drink, I suppose).

My Dad is usually happy with a tin of home brew mix

Why not get him a real slab?



I find DVDs to be a shit gift because they generally only get watched once. Jickle's right too, I normally get everyone alcohol and encourage them to open it while I'm there.

Everyone should get their father a cool hat.

I'd be happy with a nice meal and maybe a visit to the park if the weather's nice.

See, I know my dad, he absolutely despises weekend TV, so he usually watches at least 2-3 DVDs every weekend. Hell, he watches the entire Lord Of The Rings Extended Trilogy every month or so!

I'm thinking I might just get my dad a nice watch this year although he has had a lot of those over the year's so maybe something a bit more original this time around. I don't want to spend to much on something that's just going to get the cupboard shelf maybe I will get him imported beer I know he will use that.

In general:
Aussie Boutique Beer > Imported Beer

Get him a case of Little Creatures Bright Ale or something.

You buy him nothing, then next year buy him something worth twice as much as you would normally spend on him. Then leave the country.
