Here are our top Father’s Day gifts for 2016…
For the dad who loves it…
It’s the spread that divides the Nation, but if dad is a fan, he’s going to be an even bigger fan of Marmite’s special personalised jars (£4.99, visit the Marmite Facebook App to personalise your jar)
For the dad who loves a takeaway…
Do we have any dads that are curry fans? Or should we ask, do we have any dads that AREN’T curry fans?! This fun gift, inspired by the Nation’s favourite takeaway, gives its recipients the chance to try their hand at making a lavish Indian meal at home. The Three Month Friday Night Curry Club (£20, notonthehighstreet.com) will send out subscribers everything they need to rustle up a delicious curry spread (including chutneys, salads and rice) once a month. A gift for us too then!
