Hello, can I help you? You seem unsure about what to buy. You: Hi, yes I'm looking for a birthday present for my dad but I don't know what to get him. He's quite hard to buy for. Assistant: I understand, dads can be tricky. Does he have any hobbies or interests? You: Well he likes gardening and DIY projects around the house. He's always fixing or building something. Assistant: Ah perfect, I think we have a few ideas that would work well then. Over here we have some gardening tool sets with things like pruners, gloves and trowels.
