The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Father's Day Gift

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Father's Day Gift

It's almost Father's Day, a great time to show your dad or father figure how much you appreciate them.

This guide will help you find an ideal gift for the special mentor in your life. It talks about what to get him based on his interests, his sense of humour, and your budget. So, relax and let us show you the different gifts you can snap up to reflect your relationship and his personality.

Understand Your Dad

When picking out a gift for dads, stepfathers, grandfathers, and other father figures who have been important in our lives, it's helpful to think about the things they like. Does he have a specific hobby or interest that brings him joy, like motorbikes, BBQing or art? That’s a great place to start.

Honour their efforts, hard work, and love with something they will personally appreciate, and display or use. This way, your gift will trigger fond memories for years to come.

Choosing the Perfect Father's Day Presents

Choosing the perfect Father's Day gift can sometimes be challenging, as every dad is unique. However, with a little thought and consideration, you can find a present that will make your dad feel truly appreciated.

Here are some Father's Day gift ideas to help you choose:

Consider his interests and hobbies

Is your Dad happiest when a fishing rod is in his hand? Why not adorn the kitchen, or a crib, with a piece of practical New Zealand art like this Tea Towel from Moana Road?

Maybe Dad prefers to entertain around a poker table or BBQ, at home? In that case he’ll love a set of durable Liiton Whiskey Tumblers. These whiskey glasses are uniquely designed to enhance the whiskey drinking experience. Their carefully crafted shape concentrates the aromas, allowing the drinker to fully appreciate nuanced flavours.

Or his very own Huski Beer Cooler, to keep his beer cold while the BBQ heats up. These are premium high-performance coolers that keep beer ice-cold while drinking.

If Dad prefers to tinker in the shed or garden, why not elevate his afternoon with a portable aGroove Plus speaker that can amplify his favourite playlist with incredible depth and clarity or keep him up to date with the latest talk back topics, with 30 hours of battery life.

Sometimes Practical is Best

For super-dads, the greatest gifts aren't always the priciest or fanciest. They truly appreciate things that make their lives easier and show you've been paying attention. Is his wallet in tatters, or is he always losing his car keys? Even if your budget is a bit tight, here are some practical gift ideas that Dad will thank you for.

Surprise your dad with this novelty bottle opener that bound to “break the ice” on any occasion.
