Buying gifts for men can be difficult. I don't know about you, but the men in my life usually just shrug and mumble: "I don't need anything," when quizzed about what they want.

Usually I leave it to the day before before desperately scrambling in shops.

I already got them the jumper for Christmas, the book they never read, and since they're on the vape, fancy lighters are out the window.

Lidl's Fathers Day Haul

Stewart Brewing Forbidden Fruit Pale Ale £1.79

Stewart Brewing Neipa Hopped IPA £1.79

Guylian chocolate bar £1.49

Guylian box of chocolates £3.49

Total cost: £8.58

There were bigger gifts like the speaker, or headphones or a linen blazer jacket, that I think would also make good gifts but for this trip, they weren't in my price range.

I don't think there was a lot of options on this shopping trip for men, but I think dads just like to know you were thinking of them and these craft beers are something just a little different.
