My dad is a bonafide rubbish dad but even I wouldn't even consider any of the claptrap that they are touting as "fun" gifts! They are horrid, insensitive and plain wretched!
Agreed! My Dad couldn't be much less interested in new shavers/ anti-wrinkle stuff/ spa treatments. I'll buy him some steak and some beer - perfect gift for most men!
While agreeing with your general thought, it really comes down to how much one wants to read into it, isn't it? I mean, you could also convey him the idea that he stinks when travelling... In the end, why give him anything material at all, instead of just spending some time together with him?
I heard an advertisement on the radio the other day about purchasing a years' magazine subscription for your Dad. Not any ordinary magazines though! No! Those ones full of half naked women. Who would buy that for their Dad?! Creepy.

Totally agree! My father is happy with a new polo shirt.
Wow, nothing says "I love you dad" less than a hair transplant...

I can't say I've seen any ads for "dad improvement" as a Father's Day gift, but perhaps I don't live in the right socio-economic area. LOL!
A bottle of Old Spice and some Turtle Wax for the car made my late father happy. But I suppose modern dads are a bit different.
I covet those R&G soaps. What a thoughtful daughter you are!
