Britain is going crafting crazy at the moment. Websites like Folksy, Etsy and others are filled to the rafters with brilliantly made gifts. Dads are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for so perhaps this year you may want to consider something unique and handmade. My personal favorite site is Folksy because it showcases British made goods. Here are a few of my personal favorite gifts from folksy that would be perfect for Fathers day on 15th June this year (2014).
Personalised Leather Cuff Links
Let’s get this one out of the way early because this is from my own folksy shop. I think they are a pretty ideal father’s day gift… but then I would say that. £18.00
