A definitive guide to Father’s Day shopping this September

Where would we be without the dads, the step dads and the men who stepped up to the mark when a tire needed to be fixed? While this may seem like a rhetorical question, the answer is: not very far. From teaching us how to ride a bike, drive a car and give a hard and slightly intimidating handshake, to perhaps the more meaningful moments that can't be boiled down to a single action. Showing us unconditional love and support, holding our hands when the going gets rough and being at the top of our dial list in emergencies (and not), dads are the best.

DAD WHO LOVES TO SMELL GOOD

Montblanc Legend Red

Dior Sauvage Elixir 

Dior dads, this one’s for you. For fathers with a refined taste, no other present will impress like Dior Sauvage Elixir. A fine liqueur made of exceptional ingredients, the fragrance balances the emblematic freshness of Sauvage with an extreme heart of spices, tailor-made lavender essence and a blend of rich woods. 

 

FASHION-FORWARD DAD

Gucci T-Shirt

Inspired by travel to warm places, this Gucci Love Parade button-up is the perfect prezzie for dads who bring a bit of colour into our lives. Just in time for the warmer weather, this dad-pleaser is at the top of our father’s list must-haves. For what says ‘dad mode’ more than a hawaiian-esque tee?

Louis Vuitton Wallet

Nothing quite says ‘coolest dad ever’ like an LV monogrammed wallet. In Louis Vuitton’s signature earthy hues with various pouches and places for cards, cash and receipts, this designer pouch is just as functional as it is fashionable. What’s more, you can customise the wallet with dad’s initials, making for an extra special father’s day gift. 

Tiffany & Co. Lock Bracelet

Keep dad up to date with the trends in this Tiffany & Co. Lock Bracelet. The iconic jewellers’ newest collection transforms a lock mechanism design with that coveted quirk that is so quintessential of the Tiffany’s brand. An added bonus? Its unisex style makes it perfect for sharing - even if dad doesnt know it yet. 

Rolex GMT-Master II Watch from Partridge Jewellers

The watch to watch, nothing quite makes a statement like a Rolex on your wrist. With a 24-hour rotatable bezel, black dial and oyster steel frame, dad can be fashionably late minus the tardiness.

If he wears the pants, buy him a top-notch belt. Our recommendation? This belt from R.M Williams. Combining timeless style and quality craftsmanship, this practical piece holds its own in function while maintaining that everyday essential role in any well-stocked wardrobe. 

Emporio Armani Bag

For the workaholic dad, get him a present that can keep up with the job. This Emporio Armani Bag is in a rectangular shape, making it the most fashionable laptop bag on the block. Made in black leather with various straps and handles to suit his style, it's just as practical as it is polished. 

Levi’s Jeans

There’s no better gift to get dad this Father’s Day than a staple he’ll keep in his wardrobe for years to come. A trend that will stand the test of time? A classic pair of Levi’s 501s. Offering a straight, mid-rise fit, relaxed, comfy wear and the foundation for any good outfit, it will be ‘jeans and a nice top’ from here on out. 

G-SHOCK Watch

For dads on the clock, there’s no better time-teller than a G-SHOCK. Known for creating some of the most durable and versatile watches in the world, G-SHOCK has introduced a full-metal addition to the 2100 line, with all the G-SHOCK quirks we know and love and a sleek new style to keep dad’s on time. 

 

ADVENTURE DAD

Moncler Jacket

Keep dad toasty and trendy this winter with a jacket that does both seamlessly. Straight out of Moncler’s latest campaign Grenoble, this barnave short down jacket enhances sleek designs with water resistant zippers and under-arm ventilation, making it a perfect fit for the great outdoors. 

 

Specsavers x Ted Baker Sunnies

The perfect ‘cool dad’ accessory, help dad fend off the sun rays with a pair of sunnies from the latest Specsavers x Ted Baker collab. With some killer shades to block out the sunlight (and the haters), summer days in the sun couldn't come quicker. 

Puma Slipstream Sneakers

Take dad back to the good old days with a shoe inspired by nostalgia. A modernised version of the signature high-top basketball style born in 1987 and reissued in crazy colourways in the 2000s, this reinvented retro icon can only be donned by exactly that - a retro icon. 

 

LOVES A BEVVY DAD

Trinity Hill Homage Syrah 2019

For all our beloved wine dads, get the best of the best this Father’s Day. Trinity Hill’s flagship wine is a definitive expression of New Zealand Syrah and a top player in the red grape game.

Altos Tequila

Tell dad to get the old cocktail shaker out - it's margarita time! The award-winning Altos Tequila is our go-to when mixing together the famed Mexican must-have, which is why this is the perfect gift for a dad who likes to shake things up when it comes to cocktail night. Did someone say salud?

Glenmorangie 

Get dad a drink that is completely tailored to his palate. On an endlessly imaginative quest to create deliciously diverse whiskeys, Glenmorangie can nail an old fashioned just as well as its more inventive ventures (did someone say cake?). Whether he’s concocting up a cocktail or swigging it straight, there's a tot for every taste bud with Glenmorangie. 

Bombay Sapphire

For a dad who’s a sucker for G&Ts on the sun deck or perhaps a cheeky martini at the bar, there’s no better booze than Bombay Sapphire. The world’s number one premium gin, Bombay Sapphire boasts aromatic flavours with that crisp yet delicate finish that is quintessential to the renowned gin label. 

American Express Gold Card

With up to $200 in dining credits given to all American Express Gold Card Members every year at some of the country’s best restaurants, dad will be spoilt for choice when having to choose his after-work watering hole, especially once he’s seen the calibre of restaurants that are part of the Amex Local Dining Collection.

Ligne Roset Sofa

What’s a drink without a good sofa to sink into? There’s no better place to stretch out with a drink in hand than on the Ploum Settee. Designed for maximum comfort, both in feel and posture, just add a tall drink and a happy dad to the mix and you’ve got yourself the perfect possie for an afternoon sundowner.

Nothing will quite cool dad down this spring like a cold kombucha quencher. With less than 1.6 grams of sugar per 100ml and fruity flavours to please the palate, Quite Good is providing the perfect after-work bevvy for dads who like a cold one in the sun - best shared with friends. 

 

LOVES A PAMPER DAD

Bulldog Razor

Moroccanoil Body Butter

Dads are notoriously renowned for not moisturising their skin but that isn't an excuse this September. Give dad the perfect pamper with this richly concentrated Moroccanoil body butter. Providing abundant nourishment and long-lasting hydration, it's a no-brainer for dads with dry, damaged skin. 

Revitalash Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner
