Hello again everybody! A full week into June already, I know, I can’t believe it either! This time next week some of us will be celebrating all the father figures in our lives for Father’s Day! These days, we all know that this doesn’t necessarily mean our actual birth fathers – it can mean step fathers, uncles, grandfathers, even our mothers or our own husbands, partners and fathers of our children. What is important is that we take the time to recognise those people who have looked after us in our lives, and make them feel special for a day.
What will you be doing to celebrate? For me, my father lives too far away in Cambridgeshire to actually visit this year, but I will be sending him something thoughtful in the post and making sure I call and remind him I love him. We will also be celebrating at home with my own husband, I am sure our daughters will have made something suitably sparkly and hand-crafted at school and pre-school!
Father’s day is a great time for promoters to launch specific competitions too – offering everything from hampers, experience days and the obligatory ties and slippers. Here is a run-down of some of the competitions available to enter right now:
- Do you know someone who would appreciate a Flavourly Beer Box and some bar snacks this Father’s Day? I bet you do! To enter visit the Informed Edinburgh website and enter your details before midnight on 11th June 2014!
- Or maybe a cup of tea is more your dad’s thing – with a surprise twist! The set of 4 Incognito Creature Cups being offered by Primary Times will amuse the little ones in the house, and are sure to elicit a chuckle from dad too!

Enter your dad’s best story, told in the most imaginative way using video, photos or plain text via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #InMyDay. Competition closes at midnight on 13th June 2014.
- Most young children like nothing better than to snuggle up with their daddies and have a book read to them. Baby World are offering a lovely set of Father’s Day inspired picture books in their latest competition, which will keep all the little ones happy for ages! Simply register or login to the site and enter before midnight on 30th June 2014 for a chance to win.
