  1. The Eco panel heater would make a brilliant fathers day gift, keep the bills down but keep us all warm and cosy, perfect for the dad who likes to keep bills down even when its freezing 🙂

  2. I think he would love the ECO PANEL HEATER because it would keep the bills down and it would keep him warm in the cold evenings. I also think it is great and I will be looking into purchasing one.

  3. OMG the plug in electricity monitor has to be on the Father’s Day list! My husband will love this.

  4. Garden moisture meter is a great idea for fathers day for gardening dads. with water rates coming in it could save you money as well as saving your plants, if your like me & kill them with kindness, ie with too much watering !

  5. The Showertimer Plus is the ideal gift for Irish fathers, many of whose favourite sport is yelling up the stairs ‘What are you doing in that shower? Get out! And turn off the Immersion RIGHT NOW!’ Ha Ha! The good ol’ immersion!

  6. Water Powered Shower Radio would go so well with the power shower we already have in our home! Our dad would absolutely love this radio and so would the rest of the family to rock out with! 🙂 xx

  7. A good joke book – Dads have the worst sense of humour at times!

    Jokes aside though, the best gift is treating him to a day out as spending time with your dad is the most important thing of all 🙂

  8. The Shower Timer would be great as always a prob with the teens and dad arguing over it…. now the Shower radio might also solve it as he would then be spending more time in the shower so he couldn’t give out anymore!!!

  9. Water Powered Shower Radio this might drown out his singing in the shower lol he loves his music on all the time 🙂

  10. The solar powered water fountain is just the ticket – what garden is complete without a water feature!

  11. Solar powered water fountain. My husband loves to sit out in the garden and loves the sound of running water.

  12. The best Father’s Gift Idea has to be,
    Any one item from Purchase.ie
    Bin strap, shower timer, eco choices galore
    Great for your Dad’s battery is the Freeloader Pico
    Eco warrior’s on a budget look no more
    The Solar 12V Fold Up Battery Charger and camping is no longer a chore
    So Daddy’s go get green before Father’s day
    With purchase.ie’s discount code without further delay

  13. The Dry Paper Logmaker because all the heating in my parents house is from solid fuel burners and this sounds like a very efficient way to recycle paper. My dad is very into recycling and gadgets, so he’d love this!

  14. Best Fathers Day gift by far for my Dad would be the Plug In Electricity Monitor. For two reasons- He does tend to freak out when the bills arrive and they’re high but the other reason would be because I know he secretly has a fascination with it and is so interested to know how it all works!
