As a rule I don’t post much about shed stuff on here. Well, lefts face it it’s not really that interesting - unless I’m restoring furniture and I haven’t done much of that for a while. The shed is the traditional domain of the Daddy – and in that respect we’re pretty traditional around here. Our shed is not only the Man Cave but also the BMW bike house and the hub of our little home business. But, as this ones all about Father’s Day I figured it was time to take some photos in the shed. See this here – it’s a work bench!
In case you hadn’t worked it out yet it’s Father Day on the 2nd of September. Time to start thinking about things that make the big boy of the house happy. For us that often involves a long drive in the car down a series of dirt roads with lots of sticky brown mud flying around. We took one of our first such drives almost eight years ago when Big Girl Pink was only a few months old. It’s still the source of a little bit much laughter around here that my mummy instincts freaked out at the bottom of a muddy hillside track and I jumped out of the car, unbuckled bubs and refused to get back in. It’s okay though – I’m sure the walk did me good.
This year Father’s Day came a little early around here when we got sent some shed stuff to check out as potential Father’s Day pressies. (Suddenly all that time I spend on the computer isn’t such a bad idea – hey Daddy!)
First up let me introduce you to the Dremel Saw-Max which they say can cut through virtually any material including wood, plastic, metal, fibreglass, plasterboard, brick and tile. (Hmmmm might come in handy next time I’m making pumpkin soup! Some of those pumpkins are pretty tough you know.) It actually has heaps of other interesting sounding feature, but I think I’ll just let you follow the link above to find out more – in case I totally embarrass myself with my lack of power tool type knowledge. This one would be a great gift idea for the home handy Dad or the Dad who just likes to chop stuff up!
And secondly the Trojan Top Ten Tool Box. Basically this is a tool box that comes complete with the top ten Trojan Tools inside. Awesomely clever gift idea for pretty much anyone – but I’m guessing particularly the dad of the house. Hammers, screw drivers, tape measures, wrenches …… think of a tool and it will probably be there. It’s the type of kit we should probably all have hidden away for home maintenance jobs but also the type of thing that would make any self-respecting Tim the Tool Man types heart beat a little faster. The resident daddy at out place certainly looked pretty pleased as he checkout his new tools!
The nice guys over at Trojan have provided me with one Top Ten Tool Box to giveaway to help make someones father day just a little extra special this year. The giveaway ends at midnight on the 1st of September – so you’ll be able to tell Dad on the day. Follow these steps to enter:

Shared on facebook… thank you kindly…..
We call Bunnings “Grumps Church” at our place. So I would take him to his Church, buy him a sausage (with onion) aka “One with the lot”, plus a soft drink and then let him loose in the big shiny shop/shed and say, “Buy whatever you want”….
Would love to organize a weekend away with extended family. All three generations sharing memories and laughter
Shared on FB – Cheers!
How about promising to let him burn everything on the BBQ without the usual chorous of complaints?!
If money was no object then trip to a Formula 1 Grand Prix, but as it is lemon meringue pie (bit of a step down isn’t it, but hey he loves his sweets!).

Something different for dad…a barista course, so he can finally make a decent cup of coffee
My husband, a highly intelligent surveyor, has THE worst, shoddiest toolbox (and tools) I have ever seen in a man! Time to upgrade them so he can do some REAL work around the house….
Can’t give Dad another tie,
That’d be boring so no not I,
I know what he’d love instead,
A place for his tools…. give him a SHED!
If dad were alive one of these toolboxes would be great. But it would be ideal for me having to do all the odd jobs around the house.
With love and loyalty and a special breakfast on show!
Some special family time together will set him aglow !
Shared on Facebook
Getting the family and cousins together for a bikeride through the park and a picnic lunch after would be much loved by dad, easy to do and not often enough done!
It would be so neat to give him a Red Balloon voucher and go for an early morning balloon ride up up and away over the Sunshine coast hinterland!!
We’ll be surprising Dad with an early wake up for a breakfast run
to Mittagong where they serve the best Breakfast in Australia.

My son and I made a homemade gift this year as we’ve been sick and not been able to get to the shops. We made a collage out of his Kindy paintings then cut out his hand prints in a contrasting colour and glued it in the middle. We then put gold and silver star stickers on the fingers and I wrote a personalised Fathers Day message on the palms. It actually looks really good, I was pleasantly surprised!

The Best for my dad this year could be some tickets to bring it here f from overseas
a box of I love you notes that he can read every day even when his kids are being pains
A good old fashioned Aussie B.B.Q, wife doing the cooking and dad sits puts his feet up with a beer
Brunch at the park after he gets his rare sleep in.
The kids get to run themselves ragged and he gets to relax and read
I think it would be really great to give dad something crazy this year — skydiving, maybe?
something other than socks and jocks!
I’d surprise him with a plane ticket so he can visit his homeland.

A new baby!
Why not surprise him totally and tell him that Fathers Day this year involves him cooking lunch, cleaning the house with all of us so as to be to be able to bond with the entire family..
I would love to give my dad a round of golf with his idol Adam Scott complete with golf cart. At least that’s one drive that he’s sure to nail!
A bubble bath…it would certainly surprise him but i bet he’ll enjoy some pampering too!
shared giveaway on twitter
A voucher book for personalised services for doings chores from me because the best gifts in life are often those that are free!
The gift most dads want and one he never expects to get is any kind of tool that makes a noise
(the louder the better).
My daughter has just learned how to cook eggs on toast, considering her dad has been away at work this is going to be the best treat for him….Cooked breakfast in bed with homemade gifts by his number one 10 year old daughter….
I would buy him the boat he is dreaming about having. He is constantly looking on the boat sale pages and i know he desperately wants one.

my dad is a trillseeker so I’ve organised a skydive jump for him, he wont know whats hit him.
I would buy him an Ipad so he can keep in touch with the kids and I online as he is away from home 6 days of the week.
A bunnings voucher I think would be great
if I could win this I would be his best mate
his wood work is five star I would rate
so now I guess I will leave it to fate
You know Dad would love to wake up to no noise, and a clean house! so I could surprise him with ear plugs and a cleaner! Now thats a happy Fathers Day.
Because the kids don’t have actual money to spend, they like to make up a book of vouchers for Dad, which he can exchange for things like…. breakfast in bed, a car wash, one whole hour of uninterupted TV time, or a sleep in! The kids have fun making up new voucher offers, and Dad thinks he’s getting something special too.
What an awesome idea
Thanks for entering the Tool Box giveaway on my blog – especially because you won!! Can you email me your address so I can organise for it to be sent out to you. thetruthaboutmummy@gmail.com

The best gift for Dad is to ask him what he wants to do on Father’s day.
Dad might not want to be woken up at the crack of dawn for breakfast and presents in bed. Dad might not want to be dragged out to a busy restaurant, although any other day of the week it’s his favourite restaurant.
Simply ask your Dad what he wants to do and I’m sure that would be a nice surprise for him.
Dad’s always doing lots for us.
On footy trips he drives the bus.
From coaching netball and basketball teams.
To singing recitals where some girls scream.
A gift I’d give from all of us.
Would need to be simple cause Dad hates a fuss.
No need for money, or trips away.
Just a day for him would be what he’d say.
A day to do whatever he please.
Because to us he’s the Bee’s knees!
We are going to go and make something from pottery! A very unique and one of a kind present for our one of a kind dadda!
I’d love to surprise Dad with a plane ride say over the Kimberleys or Northern Territory. He was a pilot in the war abd always loved his planes!!
A big surprise for dad would let him have the final say all dad and be right even if he were wrong!
Believe it or not my dad loves fixing things. It gives him a sense of satisfaction. I’d love to take him to one of those mega DIY expos in America so he can be like a kid in a candy store.
Have shared on FB.
Take dad to Luna Park for the dy and make him scream his lungs out on the roller coaster with me.
I would love to send my Dad on a Jet thrill ride. Not sure if his heart could take it though. So maybe a acrobatic plane ride instead.
This pack might fix the mess that dad loves to work in !
This pack might fix the mess that dad loves to work in lol!

Hubby has always wanted to do one of those cage dives with sharks – I know CRAZY huh , count me out . So for a huge surprise on Fathers Day I would love to send him to do one of his long life dreams.
Following FB and Twitter
Sunday is normally our housecleaning day, so next Friday I am going to get a house cleaner to make our house spotless!! My Hubby will love spending fun time with our children all day on Father’s Day!!
My son who is one year old is giving his dad a helicopter training session. Such fun!
He has just been watching Antiques Roadshow and saw some sterling silver stirrup cups. Now he wants some for Fathers Day! Of course. No luck on eBay yet… If I were to find some it’s safe to say that would be a surprise for everyone!!
Fathers day is going to be a bit like Mothers day, our only son is off doing his basic Army training. The house is too quite, and things haven’t worked out to plan, with son having injuries setting him back. Never having a sick day in his life and barely been to a doctor it’s worried us no end. Some tools to keep his mind busy with the many jobs out in the shed and around the house would be a godsend. Sending happy thoughts to all of those parents not seeing the kids on Fathers Day, never complain about the socks, jocks and homemade gifts, you will miss them when they are gone..
Will cook him a special meal, me busy in the kitchen and hopefully him in the shed, with some amazing new toys (tools)
A surprise ‘fathers day’ party, have his favourite footy team there to party with and have ACDC to play the music to rock the night away.
Am a liker on Facebook and have shared ☺☻
fishing charters are always awesome gifts
If you’re up on the Sunshine Coast -a gondola ride on the Noosa River at sunset.
i think it would be a great surprise toward the end of the day to make his favorite dinner and dessert and not tell him about it, also i would make his present into a game leaving a trail of little presents to the main present
I would luv to get some tradesmen out and put a huge shed up in the back yard for my husband for when he gets home from work. At the moment we have only a tiny garden shed and he luvs tinkering around. At the moment he hates going in his shed. I need to make him a mans cave from the kids!!

If I had unlimited funds or owned a money tree – for fathers day my husband would be getting a caravan to travel Australia or a shed (so he can practise being handy) or the drop saw he has been day dreaming about for months (I think thats what it is called) – This one is more achievable but not anytime soon.
However seeming as I don’t have loads of cash or that money tree it will be more likely that he will be receiving a bunnings gift card or a new torch and a bunch of helium balloons.

A purple fedora with a huge peacock feather tucked into the crown! Okay, so he would hate it, but you DID ask for something different and surprising. I daresay he would be surprised.

I hope to surprise my dad this year with two words – ‘hello, grandpa’! He’s been waiting a long time to become a grandfather, so we’re waiting to announce until Father’s Day!
As it was Hubby’s first Father’s Day last year, we bought him and extra special super car drive day – I don’t think this year will be as good!
i will give my dad the present and all life has to offer with it
If money was easy to come by, I would deck my dad’s shed out properly with shelving and the lot as he spends alot of time making stuff for everyone else. He deserves it.
i follow/like you on facebook
My dad is the most generous and least materialistic person I know
And has not bought himself anything decent to show
A new bed is something he needs and cant afford to buy
And I bet if I could somehow get one for him he would surely cry
My hubby on the other hand does not get “bought” presents from the kids and I
As being a stay home mum means we make him something and this year it will be a homemade apple pie
I would like to be able to get my hubby a new Motorcross bike… He sold his last year to pay for some of my finacial issues and to get new items for our son. =( Bless his heart
I would send my Dad, Husband and our 2 boys to Bathurst for the Bathurst 1000 weekend. Daddies and kiddies win and Mummy wins by having a boy free weekend!!! Whole family wins
I would buy him a Ride-On-Mower so he could spend more time doing things he wanted to do. Although I bet he would spend all of his time on the Ride-On-Mower.
we have brought our kids up to appreciate the simple things in life we both got more joy out of what our kids made at school for mothers day and fathers day so that’s how we kept it. Being separated Id like for me and my boys to show how much we do appreciate what a good father he is. No matter what the present, he has always kept anything the boys have given him over the years it would be nice to make this one extra special.
Time has been in short supply since we had our baby, so I’m going to give my husband the day off and encourage him to spend it however he wants – most likely a session at the gym, followed by beer tasting with his mates. Hope I get the same for mothers day!
Just lots of hugs and cuddles.

A day for Dad: Sleep in, brekkie in bed with the paper and coffee of course, have the boat loaded (with petrol & fishing gear) and ready to go, a packed bbq lunch to eat while fishing, dinner ready when he gets home and tell him I will clean all the fish he caught! I think he would be in heaven
I reckon offering to cook Dad a gourmet BBQ for him and his mates would be a well received father’s day gift.
This year I think I’ll give dad tickets for a Twilight Dinner Cruise with Moonshadow Cruises.
My daughter has been practicing riding her bike without the training wheels. So this year my hubby will get a fantastic special Fathers Day surprise when she shows him on the day, that she can ride without training wheels.
He may have something special from the fathers day stall at school too.
Im sending HBs dad a Grandfathers Manifesto from the smile collective.. HB is getting a really nice knife block set.. He loves cooking and is always moaning about our knives being blunt..

Fishing gear for sure, as nice weather is on the way, I’m sure he’ll be spending most of his time, out on the bay, and he can be sure, I won’t be far away, father and daughter and the ocean, life sure seems okay.
I would like to surprise him by removing all his old worn out tools from his shed and replacing them with this wonderful tool box giveaway
It’s not a different idea in general, but I plan to surprise my husband for fathers day by letting him sleep in. This is “different” for us because he always gets up for the kids in the morning and lets me catch up on sleep so I can handle them waking up during the night!
Shared giveaway on facebook and follow on fb too. Would be great to surprise Dad with a Trojan toolbox but the plan is for my 2 year old son and I to make a baked salt dough hand print for Daddy. The great ideas u get off of facebook!!
My 3 year old daughter and I will be making a Light Saber cake for ‘Daddy’ for Father’s day. They say the way to a Man’s heart is through his stomach and that is so true when it comes to my Husband and its something my daughter will love to help make.
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant so something different to surprise Daddy this Fathers Day would be our baby girl!!!! Although I would like to wait a few more days after Fathers Day!!
I would love to get him airline tickets to go and see our son at his army base,befor his next deployment.Boy time,just the two of them,although I would love to go also.He is so proud of his son and the two of them get on so well,it would be a precious memory to hold onto,when we are missing him and are stressing everyday.No present is better than just having your family near.
A great idea for dad, which is “not the norm” is a massage and manicure! Husband not to keen at first, but was nicely surprised (and understood why I asked for one for mothers day).
These tools are perfect for my fathers. I saw my fathers having these tools so for sure he would like to have these.

And then a big breakfast followed by a box full of little goodies that he loves, like chocolate and tools! I’d take the family out so he could have a big afternoon nap as well, to recharge!

Gold Class Movie Tickets – that way he gets to see whatever the latest cool action flick is, but can enjoy it in comfort with good food and a beer.
I actually did this one year. My Father is a gardener, so I bought him some ZooDoo. It’s very exotic manure. Full of ‘stuff’ that gardens apparently just love. If you want to surprise the man in your life ZooDoo will do it.
It always comes as a surprise to Dad to not only receive footy tickets from me but also my eagerness to be his company!
A new BBQ. As it’s out of season for bbq so you can get a great deal – plus, it’s the gift that keeps on giving as he’s going to want to cook all summer long. Sweet!
The entire day with only your immediate family, NO in-laws!! This would be the surprise of all surprises for my husband.
No socks, jocks or predictable lunch. Wake up and let him choose all the days events, even if he just wants to stay in and watch DVD’s. It’s his day, so make it so.
Superb toolbox giveaway!!!
It’s really a very nice update of power tools and Father Day impression indeed.

My children and I have organised a short break (3 nights) cruise for Hubby this Father’s day, and to add to the surprise, the kids aren’t coming so he (and I) can have a few days just relaxing and/or joining in all the fun cruise activities!!
A one year ‘subscription’ to Jim’s Mowing for our front lawn… Dad hates spending weekends dragging out the mower when he could be having fun with us!
My dad would love a chain saw. We have massive trees in our back garden and he’s always trying to work out ways to cut them back. The ladder and saw just won’t do. This would make his day!
What a difficult question you pose. For my Dad I think the best surprise would be to have the whole family around him on Father’s Day. This never happens on any particular day in our busy and around Australia family. Now that he’s getting older, I think he’s like to see us all together like when we were his babies

Like most fathers my father taught me to ride a bike when I was a child. Instead of hopping in the car for a Father’s Day activity, I’ve decided we will go on a beautiful bike ride and rekindle those memories and bonds formed long ago. We’ll ride down some of my favourite streets and stop for lunch at the “Dairy Queen”, a milk bar – take away shop that has been in the area since my childhood. Dad used to take me regularly for the best toasted sandwiches in Melbourne. We are both a lot older now so it will have to be slowly paced but what better way to spend Father’s Day than partaking in one of Australia’s favourite pastimes.

My dad is no longer around
so I will comment about my hubby who is a great dad. I know his idea of a perfact father’s day would be driving out to a sky diving place and jumping out of a plane! (of course all the kids and I would be watching on the ground and I would be the one who was scared lol)
For all those Dads who spend heaps of time in the shed, then get totally frustrated because his little project isn’t working out too well, I’ve got the perfect pressie …. it’s a Solar Tide Watch, a watch solar powered (no electricity needed here), 100m water resistance (in case he has dropsy), and has tide predictions (so he can just go off and fish and relax, and out of my hair). That’s my idea for Fathers day.
I like you on facebook. I think bars of gold would be a good choice for a present too.
The kids and I are giving my husband an Old Spice set, aftershave and bodywash. His grandfather (known as Murdipop) used to use Old Spice all the time, and he thinks of him every time he smells it, so I think it will be really special.

My DAD is always says what a big HEART he has , and I kinda agree , but lets push him out of a plane and test it! Oh with a parachute of course !
My Dad never stops – I’d like to send him on a cruise where he’d just have to relax!
Dad is the kind of man that always helps others and has worked hard all his life. I would book a massage for him, something he has never experienced. He deserves a little pampering.
My daughter always hides from her daddy on Father’s Day. His ‘treat’ of the day is to spend his first half hour awake looking for her!
My Dad fancies himself as a bit of a DIY. Problem is all his tools are about 50 years old, a bit rusty and long in the tooth – much like him. I’m sure he would value any replacements as a great Father’s Day gift.
I would like to surprise my hubby with steam mop…it sounds crazy but everytime it is on TV he wants one…and it may inspire him to clean lol!
My hubby is the best dad in the world to our 3 kids. He gave up his dream of becoming a pilot to take care of our family and this fathers day we have booked him into the flight simulator in Perth so he can see what it would have been like to fly a jumbo even if just for an hour.

If I where rich I would whisk him off to Germany as his always wanted to do a Rhine River Cruise
I would love to take my dad back to Scotland to meet all his relatives, something he has never been able to afford. I will need to win Lotto first though
I would get a hire a hubby for my hubby. I would hire someone to do his jobs around the house and all the things he has to do to keep our property running in between going to his regularly job. This way he could spend all that extra spare time playing with and enjoying his beautifully boys, they need that time with their Dad.
Our four children would love to surprise their Dad with a brand new circular saw. He is a tradie in desperate need of one but at $1000 it wont happen this Fathers Day unfortunately. Next best thing will be the Esky on wheels we bought him and some awesome Fathers Day stall gifts the kids pick out themselves from school xxx he adores those gifts.
My partner is an awesome dad to our three little ones!
I’d love to surprise him with some brand new wooden kitchen utensils… Which sounds a bit funny I know, but all we have is plastic ones – which he absolutely hates with a passion! He loves to cook so it’d be a nice surprise for him to open the draw on Father’s Day and see nothing but wooden utensils!
I would love to fly him to England to see his best mate that he hasn’t seen in 5 years.
We are gonna surprise dad with breakfast in bed then a day out at a car show in adelaide. I think that he would love most VIP tickets to the football but i cant afford them, would be a good present if it had lunch and drinks included as well.
My fiance John is seriously the best dad around
he does a lot of stay at home duties with our two little boys. If i could – i would buy im a shiny new boat. His only real time out and passion is for fishing and just has a little ugly tinny!
If money was no object I would send my father-in-law (and my mother-in-law) to see the Chelsea Flower Show. They love their garden and this would be a dream for them.
I have shared the giveaway on facebook too- I think another awesome gift idea is a fishing charter, you can get them fairly reasonably priced now that there are all those deals sites to choose from!
I reckon an awesome idea for my dad would be tickets to the roller derby! What dad isn’t going to love girls in fish nets playing hard core sports? So much better than the usual socks and undies!
