Ok, so it might not be until Sunday 20thJune 2010, but get planning ahead with our Father’s Day 2010 gift guide. Then your Dad won’t have to try and look pleased as you give him socks for the fourth year running…

Control A Kid Remote
Lets start with a funny one. Does your Dad complain that he has no control over you anymore? That you don’t respect your elders? Well now he can grab this and zap you into submission. In his mind anyway. (An especially good gift if you’re a teenager, have kids of your own you regularly leave with your parents, or are 30 years old and still living at home…)

Advanced Weather Station / Forecaster
I don’t know whether the weather we’ve had recently will still be around for Father’s Day, but if your Dad is like my Dad then he’ll have been playing forecaster (and getting it wrong) for a long as you can remember. Make sure he’s got a shot at accuracy and get him a forecaster. Much more high tech than a barometer.

Utili-key
A multi-tool from swisstech that can be put on a keyring with the house key so your Dad always has his man tools at hand. Includes a bottle opener, flat screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, micro screwdriver (ideal for glasses) and a razor sharp straight/serrated blade. Sorted.

Lego Digital Camera
Ok, so it’s only 3mp and only holds 80 photos, but come on – it’s a lego camera! Let your Dad relive his childhood, and possibly yours. The coolest thing about this is that you can actually build lego up on top or below it, so you could stick it into the walls of a lego castle for built in CCTV.

Grilliput Collapsible BBQ
A true man must be ready to cook in the wild, just in case you get lost on holiday and have to fend for yourself. Now your Dad can always be prepared with a fold away BBQ that fit’s snuggly into a short tube. Can be left in the bottom of the backpack or back of the car until fire is required.

Gnome Bowling
If you’re Dad is a gardener then get him a gnome with a difference – there’s 10 of them, plus a ball, and he can take out his frustration about his under grown tomato plants by knocking them all over and yelling ‘STRIKE!’

Giant Stress Ball
Is Daddy a high flying businessman? Or is he just stressed out a lot? Then he needs a giant stress ball (your Mum will thank you). Can be pummeled into submission without taking any harm, and is big enough to use both fists on instead of just giving his wrist repetitive strain injury for all the squeezing!

The Daddy Wine Puzzle
With a name like that it’s got to be made for Father’s Day. Imprison a bottle of wine and then your Dad has to figure out the puzzle without breaking the bottle before he can have a celebratory tipple. Don’t worry – it comes with the solution which you can hand over just before he kills you…

Ovo Binary Watch
Binary watches are pretty cool if your Dad is more geek than chic. A time piece for anyone with an understanding of IT, and he can show off how clever he is to everyone else. Plus unlike some binary watches, this one won’t break the bank either.

i-Wallet, the Photo Frame Wallet
This is pretty much the man version of the photo frame keyrings I think are a great present for any women in your life. Now your Dad can carry round photos of his favourite people without looking like a sap, plus he’s got somewhere to keep all that money you’ll borrow from him.
