Why? To remind him all day long of you, of course.

It’s up to you whether you insist he wears an outfit. Pants over trousers and his own cape? Isn’t that how they did it on Fools and Horses?

Father’s Day is held on the third Sunday of June in the United Kingdom. It is a day to honour fathers and father figures, such as grandfathers and fathers-in-law. And our dad’s like a little gift, of course they do. I’m not so sure that tools are acceptable so that they can mend their grown up daughter’s tricky little bits and pieces that are no longer working, so with all due reverence, what about the above.

We, in Frost’s office, loved Thumbs Up Super Dad Mug with Cape in Ceramic Red, 12.3 cm x 10 x 8.4 cm.

But we do feel it obligatory that the receiver enters into the spirit and finds himself an outfit and wafts off to work, cape billowing, clutching his mug.

The Super Dad cape comes tucked inside the mug, but he’ll be delighted that it can easily be slipped on round the rim to impress his colleagues at work, and to remind  him of the family, every minute he is away from them.

Sadly for Dad it’s hand wash only, but when it’s his turn to do the dishes he can be extra careful with it. Neither can he heat up his Super Dad mug of coffee in the microwave.

We loved it. It’s fun and that is to be applauded.

This doesn’t appeal? Then Thumbs Up has a good line in other Father’s Day gifts.
