IS the man about your house a super-hero? If so, we can suggest just the gift for Father's Day this Sunday.

But if a superman outfit doesn't appeal. then take a look at our other gift suggestions here. They might just solve a problem.

HERO DAD: THIS is one for superhero dads -- a Superman Muscle Chest costume. It features a jumpsuit -- with six pack! -- and attached boot tops, a belt and cape in the traditional Superman colours and logo. The suit costs around £39.99 and is available from all good fancy dress and party stores, or mail order from Mail Order Express on 08700 129090.

FLYING START: Looking for an alternative to that garish tie or pair of cosy socks? Try the online shop for 350 "experience gifts" such as a clay pigeon shooting session (£55) or fly fishing school (£99). Or would he like to drive a classic 309QV Ferrari or fly this 1942 Tiger Moth (£90). Other options include two weeks on Eddie Irvine's yacht, owning an acre of the moon or flying a MIG fighter jet over Moscow. See www.buyagift.co.uk.

AFTERSHAVE: This Givenchy Pour Homme is a masculine gift box for father's day -- a 50ml bottle of the new men's fragrance and a 75ml tube of All Over Shampoo from the Body range, price £27.50 from all good perfume counters.

FOOTBALL MAD: Here is one for the World Cup fanatic father -- two pint glasses with the St George's flag and markings for the kick off, half time and extra time. This means dad will not have to get up from the sofa to get himself another liquid refreshment for the duration of the match. Cheers! The glasses are for sale at £7 from Marks & Spencer.

CELEBRITY STATUS: Linford Christie, Tim Vincent, Lemmy and Frank Skinner are all said to be fans of Original Source. so you might just please your dad with one of their products. How about one of the seven shower gels at £2.49, or some of the Tea Tree and Mint products, with prices from £1.49 from all good chemists, supermarkets and department stores.

RECYCLE-MANIA: Recycled gifts are all the rage -- and we do not mean passing on your unwanted Christmas gifts. These models (£8.99) are made from old drinks cans, such as Fosters lager. For more "rubbish gifts", such as salvage stationery sets (£14.25), a recycled plastic bee nester kit (£9.95).
