It is Valentine’s Day on Sunday. What, I hear you cry, already?! Yes, already, so this is good opportunity to remind you of our fantastic gifts for the man in your life. Firstly, I direct you to last year’s blog post about Valentine’s Day - http://www.wordstothewise.co.uk/bog/valentines-day-advice-from-heath-robinson Of course, How to be a Perfect Husband is a gift that should be given just before Valentine’s Day to ensure the wise words of William Heath-Robinson and K.R.G. Browne hit the mark before the great day arrives. But, you might point out (and you would have a valid point), you can’t gift ebooks bought on Amazon in the UK (although you can if you are in the USA). This is true, so I propose that you recommend this book as a purchase to the love of your life a) as a reminder that Valentine’s Day is upon him and b) as a source of invaluable advice to him to ensure a happy and harmonious celebration on Sunday.
Alternatively, if your chap is a granddad and all you can think of to buy him is a pair of comedy socks or a tie with love hearts on it, may I recommend The Dangerous Book for Granddads to you? This energetic book will keep your Granddad and Grandchildren occupied for hours, outside in the fresh air, with all sorts of projects and pursuits ranging from the mildly hazardous to the downright dangerous. It will do him good and also gives Grandma some very welcome time off, although, of course, Grandma might want to get involved too!

You don’t have to take my word for it. The book has received some wonderful reviews from those who have already read the book. Here are links to some of them:

The Dangerous Book for Granddads is also a nostalgic treat as it includes many illustrations and photos to remind Granddad of his own childhood and the things he used to get up to as a boy. I had great fun doing the picture research to hunt down images like these (the boys on their go carts is my favourite – they are having such a great time!):
The Dangerous Book for Granddads really is the perfect Valentine’s gift for that special granddad in your life.
