After the faces he pulled last year on Father's Day, you swore blind you'd never make such a cock-up of the present again. Well, the time has come. If you are on a last-minute hunt for a great gift for your dad or partner, please don't buy one of these things... 1. Man United football match tickets when he supports Liverpool #divorcepapers 2. A wooden replica of a boat your dad had when he was young, fit and agile #wagon old-man-crying_1497232_GIFSoup.com 3. A how-to guide to illustrate the man's shortcomings #notcool 4. Unnecessary affection #awkward 5. A photograph of yourself #classic 6. Something you think will be a great laugh #funnynotfunny 7. Letting him open the top shelf liquor you got him before the dinner guests arrive #morto 8. A couples weekend away to a yoga retreat you presumed he would be OK with #saywhatnow 9. A record player he asked for six years ago, when he's already sold his vinyl collection online  10. An Issey Miyake aftershave when you know he hates the scent of lemons  11. Heading out with the girls after dinner on his special day #thunder If you have been on the receiving end of the ultimate present fail, do share the fun with karen.forde@herfamily.ie
