Well I just come home with a coffee maker for DH. He better live me lol. The assistant in Harvey Norman thought I was extra special buying my DH a coffee maker for Fathers Day when I don't even drink coffee myself.
But I figure m DH works hard and isn't into techie stuff like me with my iPad and iPhone etc so why not spoil him. :D
I got a MAP BELLA capsule coffee maker package, come with coffee maker, milk frother, 30 capsules, 4 coffee cups and a Capsule holder thingy. :)

I'm totally stumped for a fathers day gift for SH this year. It will be a hard one as his father only passed away earlier this year so not expecting it to be a good day. Any body with ideas???

He better Yvette :D
Actually the coffee makers have been advertised on tv a lot lately and DH has commented on how he would love one of those, so I think he will be pretty happy :D

Lucky you to get told, cookie....When I asked my DH what he wanted I just got "I don't want anything, I've got you and I've got the girls...what more could I want?"  so then I asked what he NEEDED rather than wanted...still the same "nothing" reply.
I have a bunnings voucher for one to give him...still stuck on what from the other 2... :-\
:D

I got the mug at Amazon = it was on a "Gold Box" special - I paid $15.00 and that included shipping.

I thought there was a Disney store in Australia.  Maybe it only carries DVDs and such.

Amazon voucher?  K mart?  After shave?

Father's day - I took DD to Robert Gordon and she painted a popcorn pot which then got clear glazed and fired.  Will fill with lollies.  Grandad (DH's father),  DD painted a canvas with hand and footprints and Grandad (my father) will get him some traditional pork pies and blood pudding from the Pommy Butcher.

Nothing high tech in this house.

Lovely, thoughtful gifts keiramax.

I'm not what sure what to get DH. His daughters and my children are pooling their money to get their dad and stepdad a red balloon voucher.
