One very determined duck making its way to the pub.

We’d like to think that’s a pretty good recommendation.

POV: Dad says he doesn’t want anything for Father’s Day… 👀

Then spends the next month saying:
🍺 “Fancy a pint?”
🍕 “Shall we get a takeaway?”
🍔 “What’s for dinner?”

Save yourself the last minute panic and treat him to a gift he’ll actually use.
