Personalised Whisky for Father’s Day

Jim — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 09:10:06 +0000

Personalised Whisky Gift in 5 Words:

Blended, Gift Box, Quality, Generous,

Does your Dad deserve a memorable gift this Father’s Day? A bottle of whisky with his name on it will show your appreciation.

A Quality Father’s Day Gift

What a great gift this is (speaking as a Dad and a lover of a good tipple) because it works on two levels. First Dad gets a great drink and second he gets his name on his own PERSONAL bottle of whisky.

The labels are lovingly designed and are printed using the highest quality waterproof inks so it should last for years (you could keep refilling it for him).

Gift Personalisation:-

First Name
Last Name
Year of Birth

Whisky Gift Choice

Just buy the bottle or for an extra few quid have it delivered in a rather sumptuous satin-lined gift box with a gift card (the gift card is free).

If you’re feeling extra generous you can add some ‘finishing touches’ by adding to the gift some chocolate truffles, a cigar, or an original newspaper from his date of birth.

This gift is sure to please the ‘old man.’

Christmas Gifts for Dad – Part II

Jim — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:28:13 +0000

Dads are ripe for taking the micky that’s why we love anything that can put them in the spotlight like a spoof gift…

Spoof Gifts in 5 Words

Funny, Sports, Fishing, Football, Laddish

Gift Check List

Is there a good choice? Loads of titles
Can you add a picture? Yes

Spoof Newspaper v Spoof Magazine

Bothe these gifts come in frames, both can be personalised and both are the same price. The main difference is the fake newspaper present can be personalised to a higher degree. Like the fake magazine you can integrate; a picture, first name, last name, date but the newspaper fake also allows you to have an age, a byline, and specifics like their football team plus the name of a rival (on some newspapers).

Pucker Racing Footballers

I really chuckle at the little puns on the magazine covers and especially the one on the fake Lad’s mag ‘Pucker’ Check out the Bad Jokes snippet here. Lots of other pastimes are covered too including motor racing and football.

Entertaining Special Occasions

Does Dad sing? Get him the ‘Christmas No 1’ fake newspaper or does he always go on about politics, you know,”…the state of the country…in my day…free school beer…blah, blah, blah…” then go for the New Prime Minister cover. There are loads of bright fun front pages to choose from.

Presentation Options

The spoof magazine presentation options include a single page and a framed version. The newspaper spoofs have 3 further options: newspaper wrap (ie you wrap it round a real newspaper), an impressive case, and a protective book.

Jim Says “Dad is a cover star – have him framed.”

Personal Fun Gift

Mums tend to let their fashion sense go sometime after the second child. Well how easy is it to wrestle two kids into the bathroom every school morning? Mum’s look after you and are cared about so why not give them a personal gift that will lift their spirits, show you care, and will raise a laugh?

Mum’s Sentence

Mum is more than a word. Mums are the hub of any family. The nurture, sometimes they shout, they clean, sometimes too much, they look out for you, always enough. They are sentenced to care and it’s for life, your life. Isn’t it great to come across a gift like this that is fun and will show them off as s fashion goddess?

Mum in the Picture

There’s more than one way you can make an impression with this Christmas gift present. You could pick a picture with Mum at her best, for example at a wedding when she’s dressed up to the nines or you could use this gift with a little irony. Do you have a picture of Mum with her clothes in a state of disarray perhaps?
Your Mum, your choice.

Jim Says “Mum, maybe you’re not Claudia Schiffer but I think you’re great.”
