Mother’s day tends to get all the glory, but dads are equally important and often much easier to please!

Personally, I find buying gifts for others super stressful as to me it’s so important to buy something that the person will use. I can think of nothing worse than buying a gift that will end up in the back of the cupboard just to be thrown out a few years later.
