Whilst Father’s Day should be like Christmas to a dad blogger (as many of my dad-blogging friends will attest), it has the inconvenient habit of falling right in the middle of my two sons’ birthdays.
This year it sits the day after Robert’s 6th birthday party, the week before we’re heading off on a camping holiday and 2 weeks before Freddie’s birthday.
All of which is basically to say: I have made absolutely no use out of father’s day this year, as a blogger.
Which is quite annoying really – I had planned to write a gift guide like I usually do, and I even had a few people contact me with suggestions of gifts. Unfortunately, I left it far too late and now I’ve written myself into a corner, so to speak.
Luckily, the one person who actually offered to send me some gifts to try out – Virgin Experience Days – would make an IDEAL last-minute Father’s Day gift if you’re as badly prepared as me!
I’ve actually been to a few Virgin days before, and I’m due to take a trip up ‘The Shard’ in the very near future too – I’m sure I’ll bore you all with the photos when I do! But my point is: I can actually attest to these being a GREAT gift idea for dad, as I’ve been on lots and they’ve all been pretty awesome.
Whether you want to go Go-Karting (I do!), go out for a nice meal (yes please!), go sight-seeing in London (wave if you pass my office!) or simply learn a new skill, Virgin have got an experience to suit you – and they’ve got a wide range of prices too, so you don’t need to shell-out a tonne of money.
Anyway, when I’ve taken my trip up The Shard I’ll tell you how it goes – and if it is anything less than amazing, I promise I’ll come back here and eat my words! :)
