With Father's day approaching this Sunday, here's some handy gift ideas, together with more summer bargains to get your teeth stuck into...

With Father's Day just around the corner, let's kick off with some great deals you and your dad can enjoy...

It's great news for dads when it comes to days out this Sunday. For example, take him to Bristol Zoo where he'll receive free entry when accompanied by a full paying adult or child.

And, if you happen to live in Liverpool, you can get a similar deal at Knowsley Safari Park, where dads go free with an accompanying adult or child.

If you prefer to give your dad something he can use, Aldi has a range of cheap and cheerful power tools and DIY equipment, including a chisel set for just £4.99. Alternatively, why not treat him to a range of Aldi pampering products that won't break the bank? Items are on offer from this Thursday 12th June.

Alternatively, Borders has a range of books on offer for some hearty bedtime reading. If he's really lucky, you can also treat him to a box of black magic chocolate, free in-store with selected titles.

And don't forget -- you get 20% off if you sign up for the Borders email.

If you're a registered Odeon member, you can get 2 for 1 tickets throughout July when you book online from now until 27th June. Order and you'll be sent a special e-voucher to redeem against your next July visit.

If it's electronics you're after, Dixons are currently selling a Samsung 10 megapixel camera for just £99.99. The camera comes in three colours (purple, black and silver) so should suit a whole range of budding photographers.
