Posted on
To celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday 17th of June, I have teamed up with Frederick Thomas London to bring you a lovely new giveaway. One lucky reader will win a £100 voucher to spend online at www.frederickthomas.co.uk.
Who said Father’s Day ties needed to be boring and that sock’s can’t be fun? If the Man/Father in your life is anything like my Husband then they will be extremely happy to receive socks as a gift – the washing machine monster has stolen all of his (that’s the ones that actually make it to the washing basket and aren’t sitting at the side of his bed dumped as always)
You could help to jazz up your Dad’s wardrobe with some fun dinosaur and skull print ties, or add a bit of texture with linen, knitted, tweed and wool ties.
Frederick Thomas London specialises in handmade ties, socks, cufflinks and other men’s fashion accessories. With an extensive range of styles and trends, they’ve got you covered for the office to weddings and special occasions and they even have some great bags so you can pack up ready for a weekend away in style.

My washing machine monster eats matching socks, so we have lots of funky socks.
