Go on, give them something special this Father's Day

It falls on the third Sunday each June, but every year we all need a little nudge to remind us that we should be thinking of our Dads on this one special day of the year.

Now, if like us, you live several hundred miles away from your Dad, buying them an activity gift voucher is a great way to wish them ‘Happy Father’s Day’, as they’ll be bowled over with their gift and they get to decide when they actually want to do their activity over the course of the next 12 months.

If you pick something like a 30 minute Trial Flying Lesson in a light aircraft, we’ve got venues across the UK, so Dad can even choose which airfield he’d like to fly from.

Another  activity ideal for getting Dad’s pulse racing again is a rally driving day, where he’ll have great fun learning how to do handbrake turns in the gravel and getting those tyres a-screeching. And we think it’s a nice way to pay him back for the number of times you called ‘Dad Cars’ - that free taxi service that would come out in the early hours of the morning to pick you up after a party!

If you want an activity that you can join in with and actually do alongside Dad, many of our experiences are available as vouchers for two and some are only available for two or more. We picked out the Wine Tasting in Sussex near Crawley, which includes a tour, wine and food tasting lunch and a bottle of wine for two people, all for just £69.

Forget lunch down the pub, stock car racing is much more of a fun outing for Father's Day

If you want to take your Dad out for Father’s Day and would like to organise something different from Sunday lunch in the pub, how about opting for Stock Car Racing Night?

We’ve got vouchers for a pair at £30 or a family at £35, to go and watch the maddest sport on the track at 23 different stock car racing tracks throughout the UK. With racing usually taking place on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon, it will certainly make for a Father’s Day outing to remember and much more fun than another pair of socks or aftershave as a gift.

Now writing about all these Father’s Day gift ideas has got us thinking - so we’re off for a browse of the Into the Blue website ourselves to see what we buy our Dad that he hasn’t already done!
