Top 10 Gift Ideas for Father's Day

By Che

Finding the perfect Father's Day gift for your dad can be a challenge sometimes. Thankfully we've put together a list of 10 of our top gift ideas to help you find something meaningful for your dad's special day.

For the BBQ Dad

No dad is immune to the temptations of grilling food at the BBQ and we've got some great gift ideas with that in mind.

Everything's better around a campfire with friends and marshmallows, and the Round Foldable Fire Pit and BBQ Grill is perfect for such occasions. The Ape Basics Premium Double (Twin) Burner Butane Camping Stove Kit is great for the dad that likes to take his BBQ with him. Your dad will love adding the distinctive flavour of Jack Daniel's Sweet & Spicy Steak BBQ Sauce to his BBQ creations with this Jack Daniel's: Old No. 7 Three Piece BBQ Tool & Sauce Set.

Get him a book

Books are a great gift idea for dads that love a yarn. Award-winning Kiwi illustrator Toby Morris's Dad Man Walking is a humourous insight into the ups and downs of dad life. Clarke Gayford shares stories and recipes from New Zealand and Te Moana Nui a Kiwa in Fish of the Day. For rugby-mad dads you can't go past Steve Hansen The Legacy. If a thriller is more your dad's bag then check out Stephen King's Billy Summers or Daniel Silva's The Cellist. Take your dad on a journey with The Big Bike Trip, an epic journey by four Kiwis packed with stunning photography.

Kickstart his homebrewing hobby

Does your dad fancy himself a connoisseur of beer or wine? Perhaps he'd like to try his hand at brewing some himself. Whether it's beer, cider, spirits, or wine, we've got a homebrewing kit to match your father's tipple. If it's juice that he prefers, get him a hand-press manual juicer so that he can squeeze his own!

Give the gift of movies

Nothing says family like Fast & Furious, treat your dad to Fast & Furious 9 for loads of action and laughs. If it's just action that he's after then we recommend Guy Ritchie's Wrath of Man, or if it's just laughs then the new season of Wellington Paranormal is the one. For something more heartfelt he'll love the adorable local doco James & Isey.

A gift to keep him active

Does your dad even lift? We have a variety of workout apparatuses to help keep your dad in shape including the Ape Style Adjustable Gym Bench with Resistance Bands, Ape Style 3-in-1 Elliptical Cross Trainer Bike with Resistance Bands, and Multi-Weight Smart Adjustable Dumbbell. Help him track his fitness progress with a Fitbit, ease his muscle pain with an Electric Muscle Massage Gun.

For coffee connoisseurs

No cafes near the home office? Never fear! Bring the cafe-quality coffee right to the stay-at-home Dad’s waiting lips! Check out our range of Bodum coffee accessories for coffee makers, glasses, and more.

Something that will help him look and feel good

Does your dad like to look and feel good? The VS Sassoon Carbon Titanium All-In-One Grooming System is a great kit that can do it all and keep it all together! Grab him a bottle of his favourite fragrance. If your dad is of the bearded variety the Proraso: Wood Spice Beard Care Gift Set will help to keep it in check. You could even get him an acupressure mat and pillow to provide some relaxation.

For Gamer Dads

Do you have a gaming dad? Does he fancy his driving skills and think he has what it takes to put a stop to Lewis Hamilton's winning streak? Then the new F1 2021 game for PlayStation and Xbox might be up his alley. Does he picture himself more like a samurai? Take him on a trip to late 13th century Japan in Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. If he prefers something more retro check out our My Arcade range of mini arcade classics.

Give the gift of music

We've got some great new music for dads on vinyl and CD including Crowded House's Dreamers Are Waiting, Shihad's Old Gods, and Brian May's Back To The Light. If he needs something to pump out his sounds from then a wireless Bluetooth speaker from Ultimate Ears will do the trick!

The old classic, socks and undies

Thought you’d finally found a gift guide that doesn’t mention socks and underwear? THINK AGAIN! There’s a reason giving dad’s socks is such a stereotype… it’s because they go through so many! Get your dad a fresh pair (or three) to replace those holey ones your family's been trying to sneak into the fireplace for awhile…

And there you have it. We hope that you've found this gift ideas useful. Check out our Gifts for Dad selection for hundreds more gift ideas.
