Whether your dad is a man of few or many words, there’s no mistaking your meaning when you present him with a framed Scrabble-tile montage to let him know he’s a “VERY SPECIAL DADDY”.

Finding a high quality gift to show a cherished father how much he means to you is a challenge. Copperdot Designs’ stylish, minimalist artwork makes a long-lasting and contemporary keepsake that looks as good on a desk in the workplace as on the wall in the family home.

Copperdot uses vintage-style Scrabble tiles to create quintessentially English art. Creatively arranged on a simple backdrop and framed to the highest standards, their work gives a modern twist to these iconic objects. Based in Northamptonshire, the company sources materials locally where it can, including its frames.

For Fathers’ Day, the simple VERY SPECIAL DADDY design has a very personal feel. But if you’ve more to say, ask Copperdot to come up with a bespoke piece featuring the words or phrases of your choice. The company will style them in a unique design that’s finished and framed to the highest standard. You can spell out a truly personal message that your own or your child’s father will treasure for decades to come. Experiment online with different word combinations at www.copperdot.co.uk until you come up with the perfect expression of your feelings for him.

At the heart of Copperdot’s ethos is quality. The framed word-tile art is designed to last and assembled using painstaking craft techniques. The tiles are mounted on conservation-level backboards and acid-free deep recess mounts to ensure the artwork doesn’t age with the years. Deep moulding keeps tiles away from the 2.5mm clear float glass, giving a crystal-clear finish. The design is presented in a handmade, plain white frame measuring 35x30cm and taped and sealed on the rear. A combination of meticulous attention to detail and minimalism make it the perfect gift for the most discerning of Dads.

Every piece is made to order so Copperdot advises commissioning early to receive your gift in good time for Father’s Day on Sunday 19 June 2011. VERY SPECIAL DADDY is available to order online now for £69. Bespoke artworks are priced individually, from £69. Copperdot also offers a range of Scrabble-tile gifts: the initial letter wine glass charms (£12 each) make contemporary and useful gifts that any vinophile dad might appreciate too.

June 20^th is fast approaching making it the perfect time of year to purchase a GoCycle especially if you are looking for the perfect gift for Father’s Day.  If a bicycle is not the only thing on your mind, here are a few more gift ideas that may help.

First of all, if your father plans to use his new bike for shopping or long expeditions you may want to consider purchasing a bike rack for him or a pannier to help him carry his weight on the bike instead of on his bike.  The Altura Arran pannier quipped with a Topeak Super Tourist Rack is a great combination with both priced low at £24.99 and £29.99 respectively from Evans.

If your rather is not a big fan of panniers, you may also want to consider purchasing him a cycling rucksack which is oftentimes much more comfortable and designed for better bike comfort versus traditional backpacks.  One in particular that sticks out from the crowd of bicycle sacks is the DHB Elsted 30L rucksack which is available from Wiggle and costs £37.99.  Bonuses of the pack include padding and a hydration pack pocket.

Those with a stylish father always on the go may want to consider purchasing an iPhone bike mount that will allow him to appreciate his tunes, Google maps, and performance while on the go.  As a bonus, you may want to consider purchasing a few iPhone bike apps and helping him load them on the mobile as well.
