Father’s day is fast approaching, however the dilemma every year is what do you get a man who has everything.

It’s the same every year, it’s gets to the day before so we all frantically rush out and buy the same thing we got him last year – socks, slippers, chocolates, beer, whiskey.

That’s all a little safe, these gifts are thoughtful but thinking outside of the box can take hours of trawling through website after website only to go back to the safe option. With most men it all about giving them the tools to make their lives easier and more enjoyable.

Being a student, there’s no time to search and money to spend especially coming towards the end of term. If you want something a little different for under £20 then look no further.

Here are five gifts that your main man will certainly enjoy this Father’s Day.
