August is looking pretty good at Ballina Homemaker. There are plenty of retailer offers to check out this month, plus Father’s Day is just around the corner — meaning now's a good time to start looking for something Dad will actually want.
From home upgrades to gift ideas, here’s what’s worth a look on your next visit!
Father’s Day? Consider This Your Head Start.
Sunday, 6 September isn't as far away as it sounds. Dad might say he doesn't want anything. We both know that's probably not true!
Father’s Day Gift Guide: What Kind of Dad Are You Shopping For?
Dad says he doesn't need anything. Classic Dad.
Luckily, Ballina Homemaker has a few ideas for the different types of dads — from the tech-obsessed to the one who'd rather spend Sunday at home.
For the Tech Dad
For the dad who always has a new gadget on his wishlist.
Upgrade his setup with the JBL Bar 1000MK2 Soundbar for a more immersive movie night, or the Belkin BoostCharge 10W MagSafe-compatible Car Charger for easier charging on the go.
For the Homebody Dad
His ideal weekend involves the couch, a coffee and absolutely nowhere to be.
The Toronto Pebble Leather Electric Recliner is made for kicking back, while the Loomy Floor Lamp adds the perfect reading or relaxing light beside his favourite chair.
For the BBQ / Entertaining Dad
Because apparently every family gathering is an opportunity to show off his grilling skills.
Let him take his grilling game up a notch with the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ, Grill, Air Fryer and Smoker, then set the table for the feast with the KOO Check Cotton Table Cloth.
For the Dad Who Loves a Good Night's Sleep
Some dads don't want another gadget. They want to be left alone in bed.
Give his bedroom a comfort upgrade with Stonewashed Cotton Coconut & Chocolate Thin Stripe Sheet Separates, paired with the Crown Posture Bedding Physio Pro Advance Mattress for a seriously cosy setup.
For the Pet Dad
Technically, you're shopping for Dad. But we all know who runs the house.
Make his pet's favourite spot even comfier with the Lexi & Me Fluffy Dog Mat, or add some extra lounging comfort with the Maisy Polka Dot Chocolate Pet Pillow.
Start with what he actually enjoys.
If your first three picks aren't quite right, think about Dad's usual weekend routine. Is he the BBQ guy, DIY guy, tech guy, outdoor guy or homebody?
There's plenty to browse across Ballina Homemaker, so you can find something that feels a little more him.
And Don't Forget the August Sales
While you're here looking for Dad, you might as well have a browse for yourself.
OZ Design - Winter Sale 25-50% Off. Ends 24 August.
With August offers across the centre, it's a pretty good time to tick off the shopping list — and maybe sneak in one little home upgrade while you're at it.
