Unique, unusual gift your father will enjoy every single day

The Amazon product called The Kindle could be a perfect father's day gift if your father enjoys reading.

He'll follow blogs on all sorts of topics - finance, sports, current affairs, lifestyle, engineering, .... He'll instantly download best-sellers, phrase books, travel guides, reference books, business books.

And, this read-and-download-anywhere online access is wireless broadband which Amazon pays for. So once you buy a Kindle reading device for your father, he only has to buy the books and magazines he wants to read (copyright-free classics are free). He won't be burdened with ongoing bills.

Ultimate Collection - The Small Faces

Want more terrific gift ideas for dad?

Here's an astonishing little gem, if your father enjoys pop/ rock from the sixties.

A treasure of a 50-track collection, this two-CD set shows off The Small Faces' musical range. In 'The Decca Sessions' you find that they are a quite breath-taking Mod band, performing rock with beautiful American soul flavoring. In time they go more Mod-psych-rock. The second CD is more varied, more psychedelic.

This is sunny, frisky music, well written but still with that element of experimentation that made the sixties exciting.

If your father plays this in his car, volume turned up, he will buzz. He will arrive bouncy and vibrant.

Cooper's All-in-one Home Brewing Kit

Does your father like beer?

Good beer?

And does he like an easy life?

Then he'll love this - the easiest beer brewing kit in the world.

It really is easy - no boiling, no trub, no clarifiers and no racking. Just a couple of hours of stirring and pouring to get really decent malty beer with a touch of hoppy robustness. And rich colour. There is definitely no water-and-air-pretending-to-be-beer going on here.

If your dad has never made beer before, this is probably the best first kit because it's so easy, and consistently makes great beer. If he's a veteran beer brewer, unless he enters every competition going, he'll love the utter simplicity of this kit. Especially as he'll probably not be able to stop himself from adding a little dad flavour.

Be warned, though, with this gift your dad will suffer a little hardship ... waiting for the beer to finish brewing!

Raising Sand by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant

Does your father like new Country music like Iron & Wine, or Howe Gelb? Does your father listen to Alison Krauss? Ryan Bingham?

Then he may be delighted to sample Raising Sand - an unexpected venture by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant (from Led Zeppelin).

Raising Sand is gentle and reflective. It's definitely not mainstream - people seem to either love it or hate it. Bit like marmite. So it's up to you - you know your father. If he likes to explore and discover new music AND he does enjoy alternative country, then he may love this musical adventure.

Do Mums Get More Attention on Mother's Day Than Dads Do on Father's Day?

I was reading an article in which dads said they feel that mums get better treatment on Mother's Day than dads do on Father's Day.

I'm wondering (a little guiltily), is that true? Okay, dads don't give birth. And okay, back in the day, some dads were more aloof. But today? Now?
