7 Father’s Day Gifts Your Dad Will Love For Years to Come

We all know that almost nothing in this world makes a man prouder than lighting a fire. Whether they’ve used fire lighters or built the fire from scratch, there’s something undeniably impressive about building a robust fire in a fire pit to gather around with friends and family.

If your dad loves to let a bottle of red wine aerate in a carafe but also loves a mid-week tipple, the Vinturi Red Wine Aerator is a must. Essentially, it mimics a wine carafe except you don’t need to decant an entire bottle to reap the benefits. Instead, you simply pour a serving of wine straight into your glass via the aerator and voila! You’re done. This is the type of gift your dad will be confused by when he first opens it, but he’ll be sending you a text a few days later to say just how genius it is.

For the dad whose morning doesn’t start without a cup of coffee, the Vertuo Next Machine and Aeroccino3 Bundle ($229, originally $329) is a gift that he (and not to mention the whole family) are sure to get good use out of for years to come. The sleek machine, which lets you make café-quality coffees from the comfort of your own home, can deliver a strong coffee thanks to its double shot capsule options –  no barista required. Conveniently, Nespresso is running a Father’s Day promotion so you can save up to $100 on selected Vertuo Machines including the Vertuo Next and Aeroccino3 Bundle if purchased before September 26, 2021.

Grooming products are always a winner for Father’s Day and few brands do it better than Aesop. The Complete Shaving Kit is on the exxy end of the gifting spectrum, but if you have a sibling or two to split the cost with, it’s not so steep. The fun thing about this kit is that you can deselect any items you don’t think Dad will like and this will also bring the price down. The full kit comes with a double-edged razor, shaving brush, plus the shaving serum and post-shave lotion in Aesop’s musky Moroccan Neroli scent.

Some of the best presents are the ones you didn’t even realise you wanted until they landed in your lap. Enter: this cube and sphere ice mould for cocktails. This particular set includes a six-cube mould and two spherical ice moulds, too, so Dad can fill them with water and have bespoke ice cubes waiting the next time he makes a Negroni or old-fashioned cocktail.

This might sound like a rogue recommendation for Father’s Day, but hear us out. Eye masks are a total game-changer for sleep and the Manta Sleep Mask is one of the best. The cushion eye cups don’t press on the eyes directly (which means they don’t interfere with eye movements throughout the night), the adjustable strap makes it incredibly comfortable, and it’s 100% blackout.

We know that we don’t need to sell you on the merits of LEGO (Hamish Blake has done a pretty good job of that already), but here goes anyway. The LEGO Stormtrooper Helmet set is ideal for puzzle-loving dads who also love to keep their creations on display. The set includes 647 pieces and the finished product is 18cm tall, so big enough to feel like a huge accomplishment, but not so big that it’ll take over your living room.
