I should have known better. I told the children what we were giving Daddy for Fathers Day this year and they are practically combusting from the effort of not telling him. They do forget for a while and then I see that look and that smile and I have to resort to dramatic distraction tactics to stop them spoiling the surprise.
And it is a most excellent surprise and I have the wonderful people at GettingPersonal.co.uk to thank for it too. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was the perfect gift and when it arrived, I showed the kids as I knew that the boys in particular would love it too. Big mistake. Firstly, they want it. Secondly, I may have to kick Daddy out of the house until June 15th to avoid spoiling the surprise.
So what is this amazing gift I hear you cry? Well, my husband loves sport. No actually he is fanatical about sport and he is a life-long supporter of Liverpool FC. So when GettingPersonal.co.uk contacted me about doing a review, I didn’t have to look very far as there is was at the top of the page; a Personalised Football Book – For Your Team. It leapt off the computer screen at me and I knew that I need not look any further.
For a dedicated football fan, this is a must. It is a large hardback book with a leather type finish and inside are genuine reproductions of many of the important news stories about their favourite football team over the years; collected from the UK’s leading newspapers. It is just brilliant. Not only that, you can personalise the book if you would like to with a certificate inside the front cover where you can have their name printed and a message. I chose to put a message with my husband’s name with a Happy Father’s Day from the three children.
It is fantastic quality and measures 30 x 39 cm so it is a good size too. For a football loving man who spends hours poring over the sporting headlines in the newspapers, it really is the perfect present, I just hope that the children manage to get to the 15th June before they tell him what it is. Even then, I think he may have to wait in line to get the chance to read it.
GettingPersonal.co.uk are an online company that specialises in unique and personalised gifts and I have ordered a few things from them over the years. They have a huge range of gift ideas for every age and every occasion and I have found them a great source of inspiration for those special occasions when you want something a little bit different.
So if you are looking for the perfect present for Father’s Day or for any other occasion for that matter, GettingPersonal.co.uk should be top of your list.
I was sent the Personalised Football Book free of charge for the purpose of this review. All images and opinions are my own.







What a great gift for a sporty dad. I went for personalised items. Personalized stuff is my favourite at the moment from wall art to cushions!
