Made for Dad

Let’s be honest: some Father’s Day gifts get a polite “thanks” and then disappear into a cupboard forever.

This year, go for something Dad will actually use, wear, take outdoors, tinker with or enjoy. From practical upgrades to a few things he probably wouldn't buy for himself, here are some ideas to get you started.

Father's Day: Sunday, 6 September

Upgrade His Weekend

Give him something to look forward to.

‍Anaconda – OZtrail Getaway Camping Chair
‍Give Dad a comfy seat for his next camping trip, outdoor adventure or weekend in the sun. It’s basically an armchair he can take anywhere.

Macpac – Geothermal Thermal TopFor the Dad who refuses to let the cold stop his plans. This warm, lightweight thermal layer makes chilly mornings and outdoor adventures a whole lot more comfortable.

For His Next Project

Because apparently there's always something to fix.

‍Bunnings – PXC 18V Grass Trimmer & Blower Kit
‍For the Dad who sees a messy lawn and immediately thinks, “I can fix that.” This handy cordless duo makes tidying up the yard easier, so he can get the job done and get back to enjoying it.

Bunnings – STANLEY Measuring Bundle
‍For Dad's next DIY project, this handy measuring bundle has the essentials to measure, level and get things lined up properly — because “close enough” isn't always good enough.

Something He'll Actually Use Every Day

The best gifts don't end up in the junk drawer.

Harvey Norman – Nintendo Switch OLED Model
For the Dad who likes his gaming wherever he goes. He can settle in for a session on the TV or take the fun on the road with the vibrant 7-inch OLED screen.

Harvey Norman – Apple Watch Ultra 3 GPS + Cellular
A smart upgrade for the Dad who likes to stay active and connected. With a rugged titanium case and cellular connectivity, it’s made to keep up with busy days, workouts and weekends away.

A Little Treat for Dad

Because practical doesn't have to mean boring.

Chemist Warehouse – Swisse Men’s Multivitamin 120 Tablets
A practical everyday pick for Dad, helping him stay on top of his daily wellness routine without making it complicated.

Chemist Warehouse – Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau de Toilette 125ml
For the Dad who likes to smell as good as he looks. A classic fragrance that makes an easy upgrade to his everyday routine.

For the Dad Who Takes BBQ Seriously

Give him a gift he can actually look forward to.
