Sponsored post: Gifting for dads made easy – Empire magazine subscription

Sponsored By Nuffnang

Dads are special. Very much so. Those who know me know I lost mine when I was just 13. I was very young, and so holding on to the wonderful memories I have of our time together is very important. Dad was certainly a hard worker, but when we took car trips out to visit family and friends, well these are the nicest memories of all. Just being in the presence of my very special dad made me very happy – and I understand that even more now when I watch my daughter interact with my husband. The bond between father and daughter is just something else. It can’t be replicated, and the memories – and special connection – last a lifetime.

And when it comes to gifting dad something special, most of us get a little stumped. How on earth can you possibly give something that says “thank you, dad” enough? For my own hubby, a bit of a movie freak, I am (shhh) giving him a year’s subscription to Empire magazine.

Back to my good ol’ days: going on day trips with my family was the highlight of my childhood. We’d often head to parklands for gatherings with friends and for me the journey was as exciting as the destination. I loved wondering where dad was driving us to. I wish I could say I was able to hang my head out of the car window and feel the wind in my hair, but my two older brothers got dibs on the window spot! Which may explain why I now very much enjoy being in the driver’s seat.

One thing I am sure of is that dads need to be rewarded. I am known to give magazine subscriptions as gifts, and it is a tradition I’d like to start with my kids’ dad.

The beaut thing is that Magshop are now giving you the chance to win a Volkswagen Golf Wagon 118TSI Comfortline - valued at over $40,000 – if you take out a subscription for dad for Father’s Day.

So, why don’t you check out an Empire magazine subscription.

Think about it: it’s the perfect, no-brainer gift for dad’s day – and it lasts all year ‘round.

If your dad is a film buff too, you just can’t go wrong with a subscription to Empire magazine. The ultimate mag for movie aficionados, giving you all the juice and goss before anyone else knows about it, then you can kick back and watch your dad appreciate his present from you all year.
