OMG how good is my photoshopping?! NOT very!  (I know there are lots of graphic designers reading so please forgive the jaggedy edges! :) But, what I lack in Photoshop skills I hope I can make up for with great gift ideas!?  Most of these items are available online or over the phone and can be shipped anywhere in Australia (and some internationally). I can't take the credit for all these myself though... My lovely occasional helper / research assistant Miriam McGarry helped find many of the fab Father Day gift ideas here! The Australian boutique beer pack I think is particularly genius, and I most certainly wouldn't have come up with that one on my own!  Nice one Miriam! (Father's Day in Australia is 2 weeks away - next Sunday September 5th.  I am not sure if it is the same all over the world...?!  But anyway.)
