Step One - What kind of dad is he?
The best kind of present is one that's tailored specifically to that person, for example, if a woman loves handbags you wouldn't buy her shoes would you? Well it's the same with fathers. Here's some handy suggestions on how to categorize:
Is he...?
A sporty dad
A stylish dad
A dare-devil dad
A soppy dad
A practical dad
A gadget -obsessed dad
A pampered dad
