What has everyone got for their dad's, who are usually particularly hard to buy for?

Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!

I usually get him some nice beer.

[-] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a great idea! All the dads in my life seem to like IPA at the moment

[-] LChitman@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

A red wine which is hopefully decent. I had to text and ask him though as I never really know what he would want, and I know he doesn't care much about the holiday. I've not been the best in terms of making the effort to see him lately so popping round for a bit of lunch today to drop it off.

It's difficult to find time in modern life, everything is so busy and rushed. I'm sure he'll love the wine and the visit!

I get my dad every year what he always wanted.

A life without me in it.

Sorry to hear that, it can be a very complicated time to year. Best to be extra kind to yourself!

I never knew my dad, so I'm off the hook for buying a gift. I have 2 small children of my own tho, so I'll be spending the day with those little shits before I have some tattoo work done. That is my gift to myself.

Sounds like the best day, seeing father's day through your kids eyes is something else. Is the tattoo something complicated?

Socks....but he actually asked

[-] agreyworld@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I love getting socks.

[-] sideone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Socks are awesome

Nothing, my dad sucks.

[-] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm with you here, I have a very complicated guilt filled relationship with my dad and often this time of year causes issues. I always think it's nice to focus on the positive father figures or even mentors in your life and reach out to show appreciation and know none of this is on you!

same here, I haven't heard from him in 8 years, not sure if he's still alive

[-] Ni@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's so tricky, people seem to assume that you should have a great relationship with your parents, I certainly don't . Instead, treat yourself nicely this weekend!

My local football club I support had a father's day promotion, but a couple weeks beforehand they sent out an email allowing people to opt out. Really nice to see
