When it comes to getting your dad a gift – for Father’s Day, his birthday, or even Christmas – it’s easy to revert to a new pair of socks or a bathrobe. This year, don’t make that rookie mistake and get him something he’ll actually want (and maybe need).
Rugged and ready for anything, this is the father you’ll call when you need to borrow a tent, a fishing rod or just need a jack for your car while stuck on the highway. Get him a pair of sunnies from Puma’s new Active collection(from R1 725) to wear on his adventures.
For the handyman dad
When your ceiling starts to leak or your table needs fixing, there’s no one you’d rather call than your dad. He’ll bring in his toolbox and get cracking on that burst pipe with the enthusiasm of a child. Keep him happy by adding to his list of do-everything tools with a Typo hammer(R149.99) that also functions as a bottle opener!
For the active dad
Whether he’s running a marathon or simply heading to the club for a spot of golf with his mates, your dad loves sport and makes time for it between all his other activities. What does he do with his wallet when he’s in the middle of a game, though? Make his life so much easier with this practical Mujjo cell phone case and card holder (R550).
For the jetsetter dad
He loves his wife and kids, but his work takes him the world over. If your dad is constantly travelling, this Case Logix LoDo satchel(R1 700) will hold all his essentials – and remind him of his amazing family back home.
For the whisky-loving dad
If your dad is the kind of guy who likes to finish off the day with a good drink, then he’ll love this gift (especially if he regards himself as a whisky connoisseur!). Treat him to Glenlivet’s Nàdurra (R818), a craft whisky worthy of the most discerning palate!
For the modern dad
If he has an appreciation for the good things in life, he’ll love the vibrant Mont Blanc Legend Spirit Pour Homme EDT100ml (R1 095). It smells of lavender, water and musk with a citrus twist. Perfect for a man who likes to get noticed.
For the business dad
Get the most professional man in your life a professional tool to conduct all his business – the Huawei Mate 8(R10 000–R11 000). This ultra slim smartphone packs a punch with a 2-day battery life and a 6-inch full HD screen.
For the classic dad
A stylish timepiece that doesn’t date is the ideal gift for a man who always looks sharp – from his head to his toes. This SKAGEN watch (R3 299) with brown leather strap will pair well with everything he has in his closet.
