Ask any Dad, and they’ll tell you that helping to raise kids is the most awesome and rewarding experience. That’s true on every day of the year except one: Father’s Day! Yes, that’s right, the one day of the year that should be all about them too often means another pair of novelty socks or a tie for the office.
To help you make the Dad in your life feel extra special this year, we’ve come up with a great list of products – our top picks for Father’s Day gifts for 2020.
So bad they’re good
Groan or giggle, Dad jokes are a thing – if only Dads didn’t keep repeating the same ones! This puntastic Dad jokebook contains 301 incredibly corny and cringeworthy new jokes to make any Dad smile – and everyone else roll their eyes. You have been warned!
Keeping up appearances
Dads can be forgiven for letting themselves go a little during lockdown, but now it’s time for them to spruce up and face the world again. This grooming starter kit contains everything your Dad needs to look and feel smoother, and less like a caveman!
Hooked on a feeling
You have to feel for Dads – the fact that they can’t multitask means that they need help getting organised. That’s where this classy, solid wood Man Stand comes in. It’s ideal for the home office or the bedside table and will let your Dad keep track of his keys, glasses and watch, while charging his smartphone.
Bottomless coffee
Well, almost… help your Dad get through the day with this original Bodum “Brazil” French press. It has an 8-cup capacity which is more than enough to keep anyone wired, and its special safety and aroma seal will keep his coffee fresh and hot for longer.
Help Dad with the daily grind
As well as a coffee plunger, your Dad is going to need some quality coffee to kickstart his day. This awesome RYO (Roast Your Own) Coffee selection pack contains four bags of single origin coffees from around the world – each with their own unique aroma and flavour. There’s also a bag of the RYO house blend. Available as beans or filter coffee.
Tackle that Dad bod
The Garmin Vivosport fitness tracker will be the perfect incentive for any Dad who wants to get back into shape. It monitors and records heart rate, stress, and distance, and provides plenty of motivating feedback on progress.
Music on the move
Now that your Dad is inspired to get active, he’s going to need some tunes to help him get up those hills (even if you know he’ll only actually listen to ‘Eye of the Tiger’ on repeat!). These Volkano Sprint Series wireless headphones will pair instantly with his phone, and won’t fall out. Plus, there are no cables to get in the way.
It’s not an apron, honest!
Tell your Dad that this wooden braai tools set comes in a pouch, not an apron – otherwise he might never wear it. Which would be a shame, as he’d be missing out on having all the tools he needs for the perfect braai at his fingertips.
Farm to Fork
Help your Dad become a braai guru or a meat master with this fascinating volume – part recipe book, part guide to choosing meat and supporting farmers who care about flavour and the planet. No Dad should be without it.
Chill out, Dad
When your Dad has waited weeks for a beer, the last thing he wants is a warm one. With this inflatable novelty beer bucket, temperature will never be an issue – plus he’ll always have a conversation starter at braais.
