Finally, a site for dads Dad.ie !

We spend our time surfing the web here at Pressieport (when we're not running around working that is...) and we always love to see new Irish websites appearing. One such site was set up recently by David Caren, a new dad, who noticed that although mummies have loads of sites to go to for fun and advice, daddies had very little. Dad.ie provides information and content online for dads and dads-to-be and has enjoyed a huge rise in traffic over the past months.

The site is slick and funky and another we love about it is that they love our gadgets - or as Dad.ie called them, our Dadgets. Check out Dad.ie and don't forget to pass it on to your dad-friends!

Father's Day Sunday 21st June!

It never fails to amaze me how Dads love their barbecues! I noticed it particularly today when I mentioned barbecueing to the father of a friend of mine. His eyes lit up as he discussed best barbecue tools and his favourite sauces. As far as I knew, this was a man whose closest acquaintance with the kitchen was boiling a kettle, yet here he was telling me all about his secret recipe for a barbecue marinade.

I have also noticed amongst many friends that being a father gives them the opportunity to relive their childhood by playing with the toys they never had. Remote control toys are a particular favourite, which require Dad to spend a lot of time ‘showing’ little Johnny how to fly his helicopter or drive his car.

Don’t forget Father’s Day is 21st June – and just in case you’re looking for some truly original gifts for your Dad check out our great range. Order by 3pm on Thursday 18th June to guarantee delivery on Friday.
