The first question for Father’s Day is what gift to buy dad.

There are such things are racing track days and pilot experiences – but they also cost a fortune.

So we’ve compiled a thrifty list of great Father’s Day gifts for under £30.

According to gift specialists at William May more than half surveyed said they would be spending less than a tenner on the old man, reports the Mirror .

So you’re in good company if you not prepared to buy your dad a new Breitling watch or a trip to the International Space Station.

If you’re particularly short of cash there’s one perfectly adequate gift for £5.

And we promise there are no slippers on this list.
