Father's Day- Where do you start?

Father's Day is swiftly coming up on the hard shoulder- blink and it'll be here (it's the 16th June for any of those out the loop!) We've put together a little inspiration for you all, whether you are looking for a card, token gift or maybe something cool for his home. We've got it covered.

GIFTS FOR THE HOME

If he's in to his music he'll love this piece of artwork. Each piece is made to order at our Sussex based HQ on beautiful vintage music sheets. You can personalise them with a lyric from his favourite song, making it

a totally unique talking point for his home! Why not add one of our beautiful reclaimed wood frames t'boot? Each frame is totally individual and handmade in Kent- just the ticket to add that finishing touch!

Ellie Ellie's Personalised Music Lyric Artwork make a perfect gift for Father's Day!

Let's face it Scrabble is the root of a lot of family fun. Over the years millions of families have spent an afternoon battling it out for triple word scores. If your Dad is into his board games these Giant Letter Wall Tiles make a fantastic and and innovative gift! You can buy each tile individually, so you can be as creative as you like! We love the idea of having the family surname in the hallway, but you could also go for room names e.g 'Games Room' or 'Office' or even a word that reminds you of a comical inside joke to put a smile on his face!

Ellie Ellie's Giant Letter Tiles are a great way of adding some nostalgic charm to a home

These genius cork boards are all handmade from recycled wine and champagne corks and are a perfect gift for the Dad who likes a tipple and  loves being organized..or who could do with learning to be! Each board is totally individual and are mounted inside an A3 reclaimed wood frame. Great for pinning photos, letters or not-so-subtle reminders!

Ellie Ellie's Recycled Cork Board is a great addition to any study or kitchen! He'll have no excuse for forgetting now!

THE TOKEN GIFT

Okay, so you don't want to go the whole hog. Just a little something to show you remembered? No problem. A keyring is such a good gift idea, not only is it useful but with a little help from us you can now personalise them with something that will not only look cool, but will be priceless in sentimental value too! Each one is double sided, meaning you can now add two personalised map locations. The personalisation ideas are endless - how about where his children (or grandchildren)were born? World is your oyster. 

Ellie Ellie's Personalised Map Location keyrings are perfect for the globetrotting Dad!

New in this season at Ellie Ellie are a house keyring to our collection, perfect to show their hometowns!

Ellie Ellie's super hero cufflinks have been a huge hit. Each pair is individually made from original comic books. Cosmopolitan magazine favourited them last year for the working chap and they make great Father's Day gifts for any vintage comic lover! 

Ellie Ellie doesn't just do Batman cufflinks, head over to the website for Superman, Spiderman and even Where's Wally cufflinks!

CARDS

Our cards all have a great retro feel to them, we use old school Polaroid-style photos which we then mount onto recycled card. We've also launched a new service whereby we can personalise the inside the card and send it direct to your Dad! Easy, peasy and totally hassle free.

You can add a personal message inside any of Ellie Ellie's cards an choose to have them sent straight to your recipient!

Make room for some Easter activities!

Easter is a great time of the year, with a bit of luck Spring will be starting to show it’s face and families will be home together for a day of egg hunts and chocolate eating competitions.

We’ve found a little game that is huge fun for all the family.. Pin the tail on the bunny!

To play is simple – just print out our bunny picture (right click and save the image to your computer, then you can pull it up as an image and print as big as you fancy!) gather some cotton wool and glue it onto a small circle of card (roughly 5cm round) and wait for it to dry. Pop some double sided sticky tape on the back of the tail, grab yourself a vintage scarf to act as blindfold and you are all set to play!

If you fancy going the whole hog, why not get the kids to get their creative juices flowing? Everyone loves a bit of colouring in!

Pin your bunny masterpiece up on the wall, blindfold your first player and give them a spin around! Watch in hysterics as they try and find the bunny and pin on the tail!

Great game for an Easter party, whether you’re a big or little kid! Enjoy!
