For those of us lucky enough to have a father figure in our lives, Father's Day is a perfect opportunity to spoil and celebrate these wonderful men that do so much for us. While it’s easy enough to pop down the road and grab some socks for Dad - and socks are definitely still an option - the gifts that he will treasure are those that are a bit more personal and show him you understand who he is and what he likes.
If you want to make sure that your Dad feels a bit special this year on Father’s Day, make sure you take a moment to consider who he is and then choose a gift that reflects how much you value him. While the old saying may be that ‘men are impossible to buy for’, this is actually not the case anymore. There are loads of fabulous ways to show Dad you care, and at Funky Gifts, providing amazing presents for men happens to be one of our specialities!
So what are you going to get Dad for Fathers Day? Are you still a bit flummoxed? Don’t worry; we have you covered! Read on to explore some fantastic ideas for meaningful gifts to show your love on Father's Day.
Make it Fun!
If you want your dad to have a laugh on Father’s Day, make sure your Father's Day gift is fun! Showing up with a present that lines up with his Dad Jokes may just make your present the fave on the day, so think about tickling his funny bone with a book like “Fifty-Two Things To Do While You Poo” or take a classic and add a hilarious twist with a “Man Flu - Moana Road Kawakawa Soap” - or rock up with a card that tells Dad “Thanks for putting up with my s**t” in no uncertain terms ;)
Nail The Classics
The classics are, well, classic - and they are classic for a reason - they stand the test of time. Nothing says ‘Father's Day gift’ like socks. The difference is these days; you can choose a pair that speaks to your Dad as the unique man you know him to be! Think Blue Q Socks with a slogan, choose from “Selective Hearing” or “I Left The Seat Up For You”, or tune into his obsession with all things tech with “Control Alt Delete”.
Another classic is, of course, the old soap on a rope. These have come a long way, both in terms of the type of soaps available and the packaging. Moana Road has an exquisite range of Kawakawa Soaps that are soothing and smell great; some even include pumice and coffee to exfoliate his delicate skin. These funky soaps on ropes also have cute names and slogans like “Big Belly Soap - Rub on belly daily to reduce swelling” or “Listening Soap” that features the hot tip “Clean your ears out and don't make your partner repeat themselves”!
Hobby Gift
If you really want to impress Dad with your Father's Day gift, show him that you know him with a gift that celebrates his favourite hobby (or do we call that an obsession…). Nod to his desire to go fishing every weekend with a Moana Road NZ Fishing Club Memory Game that features a slew of iconic New Zealand fish. Choose a Fisherman's Friend Gift box that includes a Gentlemen's Hardware Fisherman's Friend Multi-Tool, a Fishing Club Tea Towel and Triumph & Disaster Shearer's Soap, so he gets home NOT smelling of fish.
If it’s Golf, he’s into; he will be super easy to buy for. Tee off with a Swing Your Thing Gift Box with Golf Socks, a cool Multi-Tool, a magnet and some snacks to keep his strength up as he strolls around the course avoiding things he should be doing around the house.
Gizmo Guy
Some men just love a good gadget, so it could be that the perfect Father’s Day gift for the dad in your life is a new pair of Bluetooth earbuds or a cool retro/modern clock radio. Dads also love a Bookaroo Travel Tech Tidy Kit that will keep all his various charging cords, pens, and cards snugly tucked away where he can find them. It’s also true that you can’t go past a novelty knife as a Father’s Day gift. Think a Gents Hardware - Fish Pen Knife No.88 or a Plier Multi Tool to tuck away in the glove box or the golf bag.
