Twisted Twee's parent and child matching Tees form a perfect pair

Father's Day is just round the corner!

Although I find dads generally are not so difficult to please, it can still be tricky to find the perfect gift for Father’s Day.

For the inseparable father-and-child, Twisted Twee founder Suzi Warren has got just the right idea and she has cleverly captured her new piggy back twinsets with these fabulous pics featured on her Twisted Twee website.

Suzi took the pics herself and says it only took her 10 minutes to do the shots in Oxford with friends - toddler Sky and Chichi - modelling for her.  They are images of happy bonding doing great every-day fun things, like stopping by the ice-cream van, going to the playground and shopping.

The parent (or grandparent) and child Tee shirts match up to form a complete picture when the infant sits on its parents' shoulders.

In this parent-and-child series are the Balloon and String, Ice Cream and Cone, LO and VE, and a swarm of bees and a hive.

The organic Tees are hand-printed using flock fabric that is textural and will also retain its colour while lasting countless washings, says Suzi who founded Twisted Twee in 2003, and is known for creating “original, surprising, witty, well-made gifts.”

The team is made up of a bunch of lovely mum friends working out of a garden shed in Camden, London, according to Suzi, who are "Responsible for such marvels as Political Nappy Covers, Vintage IKEA bags, Bad Bunting and PMT Pants."


Suzi who's also the designer at Twisted Twee adds: "Orders are packed for free inside a reusable cotton gift bag and on request we are happy to write personal messages on beautiful V&A Museum cards at no extra cost."

We need to think outside the box when it comes to gifting fathers.

According to a recent study commissioned by Photobox, more than half of dads (51 percent) complain Mother’s Day is a much bigger deal than Father’s Day in the UK, with a massive 78 percent claiming mums get much more of a fuss made of them on special occasions.

So it comes as no surprise that the majority of fathers (54 percent) responded in the study say that they feel taken for granted by their children, with as many as one in three saying no fuss whatsoever is made for them for birthdays, Christmas or Father’s Day.

And when we do remember to give them gifts, the nation’s dads get some of the most undesirable gifts from their own children.  Items like novelty socks, Y-Fronts, cans of deodorant, hair dye and EVEN verruca cream have been named as some of the WORST presents British dads have ever received, along with book tokens, grass seeds, cans of WD-40 and bottles of shampoo, out of date vouchers, garden spades and football shirts for the wrong club.

One in three of the 2,000 dads polled, admitted that when they do receive presents, they are more often than not, deeply disappointed.

The study, revealed that the average British mum has £31 splashed out on her on Mother’s Day, while, if we do remember to buy dad a present, it is never worth more than £25, according to the poll.

And this is in spite of the fact modern dads spend countless hours ferrying their kids around, helping them with their homework, handing out pocket money and doing grocery shopping, according to the research.

However, despite the family favouritism, 41 percent of dads admitted mum probably deserves to receive more of a fuss and better gifts on their special day.   A further 70 percent of dads wouldn’t dream of telling their kids they didn’t like their gifts.

Rory Scott, spokesman for Photobox commented "We wanted to shine a light on the gifts that British families give and receive, and were shocked to see how many dads feel undervalued on Father’s Day, and the number of truly awful Father’s Day gifts that have been given to British dads. 

"While it’s clear that many believe mums should get the better presents on their big day, we at Photobox think that it is important to celebrate dads, and so taking the time to think about something they might really like, such as a personalised gift, is so worth it.  Let’s make dads feel special on 17th June.”
