It's always a struggle to find that present for your dad on Father's Day that is cool, stylish and value for money. My gift guide has a range of prices from pocket money prices to more expensive gifts that he will love and use for years to come. I have enrolled the help of my husband for his perspective on each item. 

Here is a list of those presents that your dad will love.

For The Dad That Takes Care Of Himself - Braun 3 3040 W and D rechargeable razor £49.99 Amazon



The Braun Series 3 3040 wet and dry rechargeable razor can be used in both the bath or shower. Awarded a Which magazine Best Buy in 2013 this adaptable razor gives a smooth close shave, designed to minimise irritation while still being tough on three day old stubble. The two way pivoting foils makes it easy to move the razor around the chin and nose area for the closest shave. At the moment this razor is on special offer on Amazon for £49.99.

What he thinks :- " I found that this razor worked really well, I preferred using it for a dry shave. It didn't give me any irritation and the battery charge was good. I would definitely recommend this razor. It is an added bonus to be able to use it in the bath or shower too. "

What he thinks : " Great moustache design, now you can make me lots of tea! An inexpensive Fathers Day gift for a child to give."

For The Organised Dad - Moustache Notebook by Hallmark £6


Hallmark notebooks have smart modern designs and are decorated with Pug dogs, London, and Bookcase prints, as well as this Moustache design. The notebooks are A4 in size, so have plenty of space for lists, notes and all manner of doodlings. 

What he thinks : "The notebook is extremely useful and the paper is a decent quality too.  A well priced useful gift. "

For The Dad Who Loves Music - Jam Wireless Portable Speaker £19.99 Amazon

The Jam wireless portable speaker is a perfect device for those that love music. This gadget is big on sound quality yet still incredibly compact. It connects wirelessly to your Bluetooth friendly device and is simple to pair up to your phone or tablet. Simple to charge with the USB connector provided it has a decent range of up to 30 feet. As it's small but perfectly formed it would be great to take on holiday and even works outside. An added plus is that there are no unsightly wires too, that could get tangled up.

What he thinks :- " A really easy to use portable speaker. Setting up was simple and the quality is super for a speaker that is so small. I think this would also be a nice gift for a teenager who is into music. "

The Heston Blumenthal precision scales  by Salter is a stylish addition to any kitchen.

Salter is known for creating superb quality kitchen scales and this is no exception to the rule. It provides metric and imperial weight measurement and also allows for the measuring of liquids too.
