Guinness PubFinder Ad

Father’s Day is this weekend - June 17th! Have you got your Irish da, grandpa, uncle or special someone a gift yet to say thanks for their loving role in your life?

Here are ten ideas big and small to get your dad for Father’s Day:

1. Set of Guinness glasses

Give your dad a set of four authentic Guinness pint glasses so he can enjoy some of the black stuff.

2. DVD of The Quiet Man
Greatest Irish or irish American movie ever made and perfect for Dad for that lazy sunday afternoon or St.Patrick’s get together as John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara battle it out.

3. Customized cufflinks

Birthday Cufflinks lets you choose the year of an Irish coin - such as your dad’s birth year-, which they hand make into a set of cufflinks. Since the introduction of the Euro, these Irish coins are no longer available, making them a rather unique gift.

4. The for-a-good-cause goat

Is your dad into a gift that keeps on giving? Just $45 will purchase a goat through the Concern charity that can help people living in poverty to support themselves and their families. In the Lilongwe Rural District in Malawi, 40 beneficiaries have received goats and will pass on their offspring to other beneficiaries who in turn will do the same with their offspring.

5. Tin Whistle and instruction booklet

Help your dad learn the tricks of the trade with this tin whistle and instruction booklet. Sure he’ll be playing the tunes in no time!

6. GAA gear

Ulster, Munster, Connacht or Leinster - every proud Irishman has a favorite county from one of the provinces that they represent. Make sure your dad shows his colors with authentic GAA gear.

7. Trip to Ireland

Nothing better than a trip back home, or a trip to research long lost roots. Check out these vacation deals from Aer Lingus.

8. ‘Manager in the Kitchen’ apron from The Design Basket

Is your dad a master chef? Make sure he lets everyone know it - and what county he reps - with this witty Irish made apron!

Are these links you get a commission from or something. How could you have left out a shillelagh or a copy of Bing singing When Irish Eyes are Smiling?
QuietMan DVD?? Must be for a great grandfather. Have to laugh at the ad for the failed Aer Lingus! The rest of it is as cliche as it gets!! Definitely American.
guinness glasses,come on,why don't you get him an ashtray aswell.
