The dad who built things on the kitchen table and complained when he had to clear it for dinner
What it is
Meccano metal construction set building twenty-five different models, supplied in a carry case with tools. Sold from Forestdale, Queensland, four in stock, free delivery.
Why we picked it
Meccano was the fifties boyhood, and the modern sets are still real metal, real nuts and real spanners rather than plastic pretending. It is the one gift on this page that is better with a grandchild in the room, which for a lot of men at this age is the actual present.
