10 sweet-as gift ideas for Father's Day

I don’t know about you, but each year I'm finding the task of getting the perfect gift for dear old Dad harder and harder, I mean, it’s not the same as buying him a birthday or Christmas gift….Father’s Day is something else - a different level of acknowledgement, appreciation and affection.

Let’s forego the traditional (and un-inspiring practical) gifts such as ties, socks, underwear and handkerchiefs, why not do something different to really show your ‘Old Man’ how much you care. Remember a gift doesn’t have to be large or expensive, just heartfelt and genuine. We've listed some suggestions below:

• You can't go past a classic Father's Day card! If you want to save trees and go techie, send him a FREE online card which you can personalise yourself, or opt for the more traditional and hand select (with love) a Father's Day card from your local bookshop or supermarket.

• Breakfast in bed – better yet, impress with a big cooked breakfast with bacon and eggs on toast, grilled or fried tomatoes, sausages etc and pair it up with a nice hot cup of tea/coffee/freshly squeezed juice. Or if you’re a bit of a Jamie Oliver in your kitchen, have a crack at making a cafe style breakfast….if all else fails - take him out for breakfast at his fav cafe or bakery

• Mow the lawns, wash and wax (wax on, wax off Daniel-San) the car, clean the house (vacuum, wash the windows, clean the bathroom, do the dishes), paint the fence or chop some firewood – do some sort of helpful chore so that Dad can get the day off from having to work.

• Rent or buy him a new gadget. Drink cola, tea, eat pizza or snacks and play racing and fighting games with Dad all day. Let him win on occasion (hehe)

• Get him a subscription to his favourite magazine or music streaming service like Spotify or iTunes

• "Smellies": cologne, shaving stuff, razors, soap and other male personal care products. Because Dads likes to smell good too.

• Buy him a nice bottle of wine or his favourite six-pack of beers. If you can afford it and are able to buy it, a good bottle of whiskey or bourbon is usually appreciated.

• Organise a family (or friends) BBQ or dinner with lots of scrumptious food, and to save you time you could even get your food shopping delivered! If Dad still wants to rule the BBQ pretend you like burnt sausages...

• Go to the movies or maybe get Dad tickets to a favourite sporting event or concert. Better still take time out during the day to play a sport with him – squash, golf, tennis, fishing, something he likes.

• Give Dad a hug and a kiss - yes that means you sons too! (or a phone call if you’re a fair distance apart). It doesn’t cost you anything but it is the most worthy gift.

If you’ve recently attained ‘Dad’ status, congratulations on making it to your first ‘Father’s Day’, and if you need some (genius) knowledge on Dad-stuff, then look no further than this Dad who lives around here. 👍

Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad. So Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads, Step-Dad’s and Grand-dad's who step up to the plate - Legendary!
