Dad's the word.
They've targeted anglers, they've set their sights upon
cyclists, and they've well and truly aimed their guts out upon skiers and
snowboarders. But now it seems that supermarket chain Aldi are, for their latest
Specialbuy Range, targeting all of the planet's dads, for this year's Father's
Day. We take a look at the Aldi Father's Day Range.
A Nine Inch
Portable DVD Player (£44.99), a range of Automatic Wristwatches (£24.99 each),
a Remote Control Helicopter (£34.99), Leather Golf Shoes (£19.99), a nifty Cocktail
Bar Set (£19.99), the standard Golf Balls (£9.99),
and obvioulsy the usual Novelty Socks (£3.99), as well as
others. Unlike the other Specialbuy Ranges, Aldi have given a great mix of
stuff that should offer any awkwardly-stuck child (be they grown-up or not) a
gift idea for their old man.
Obviously with prices ranging from the £45 DVD player,
right the way to the range of gift cards staring from just 79p, there's
something for all tastes and wallets. As usual we were lucky enough to be sent
a few items from the list to test, but the one that really stood out to us
(because we are so inclined) was the Remote Control Helicopter.
We were actually pretty impressed at how good this
was, and having tested a lot of gyrocopters like this that were pushing £100,
we were pleased at how well it flew. We always try to keep an eye out for
relatively cheap, relatively good RC choppers like this one, as they make great
platforms from which to kick-start an interest in flying gadgets. We think that
should you and your dad want to start out in something like RC together, this
would make the old guy's day.
