If there’s one universal truth about Dads, it’s that they’re hard to buy for. Which is why come Father’s Day they’re usually lumped with some combo of socks, jocks and maybe a “World’s Greatest Dad” mug. If they’re lucky. But this September, we’ve taken the guesswork out of your gift-buying with a range of goodies designed especially for blokes. Whether he’s a cool dad, a sporty type, or just regular old, trustworthy dad, there’s something here that will make his day. You’re welcome.
For The Cool Dad: You know the type: he rides his bike to work, still shops at Zara, and probably even has a hipster beard. Cool Dad doesn’t want no daggy t-shirt for Father’s Day. Instead, get him something he’ll actually use… like this cool Beard Grooming Kit by Badger Balm.
For The Handyman Dad: He’s the type that’s always out in the shed tinkering with something. There’s nothing Handyman dad can’t fix from the dishwasher to a wobbly table leg and he’s always the first person you call when something breaks. Well, poor old handyman dad probably has some beaten up hands from all that fixing which is precisely why he needs this soothing, ultra-rich hand balm that can work its smoothing magic on even the roughest of hands: Badger Balm Hardworking Hands Balm (Large), $21.95
For The Sporty Dad: Sporty Dad probably coached the footy team… and the cricket team… and showed you how to shoot pool when you were only eight. But, there’s only so many times you can buy him the same footy guernsey before it gets old (and he runs out of cupboard space). So this year get a little quirky instead with a sport inspired Smelly Balls Kit.
For The SNAD: The SNAD (or sensitive, new age dad) likes to take care of himself, and isn’t afraid of helping himself to some of Mum’s fancy face cream. So, this Father’s Day, give both him and Mum a treat by buying him his very own skincare and body care products like Noosa Basics All Skin Type Wash, $26
For The Dad Who Has Everything: He takes “impossible to buy for” to the next level… which is why something like this Coconut Candle is perfect. Or why not choose something more personal and get him a cool new fragrance in an unexpected scent like Tokyo Milk Dark Excess, Eau De Parfum, $85 or Demeter Fragrance Library Cologne Spray in Leather, $32.95.
For All Dads: If you’ve got yourself a regular dad who just likes regular dad things at the very least he will need to shave, or tend to his beard. So, you can’t go wrong with a little beard grooming gear like these Badger favourites: Badger Balm Shave Soap, $25.95 or the Badger Balm Moustache Wax, $27.50.
