Does anyone else feel like they blinked and it was suddenly June? How did that happen? While June gets substantially colder, and we all warm up around fireplaces and heaters, we also get to celebrate all the dads in our lives! June 19th is Father’s Day and we wanted to share a cozy father’s day gift guide with all of you to start giving you last minute ideas. We have also teamed up with a few providers and all readers get a chance to win on our social media pages!

Do you need the perfect gift ideas for dad while celebrating Father’s Day? While considering the ideal gift to present him, among other things, you should find out his need, hobby, and desires. Irrespective of how cheap or expensive the present is, the important thing is that it must be one that he will appreciate as we all know not one dad is the same.

For the braai dad,

Men’s aprons makes a great Father’s Day gift and a thoughtful present for your father if he likes to braai. Some can be genuine leather and super fancy and others can be painted on and personalised by little hands.

For the down to earth dad,

This winter is going to get even colder. Why not get dad a nice comfy pajama set or slippers. Or (and I was horrified when I saw these) man size onesies! Wearing one presented by his kids will make him and them feel happy.

For the office dad,

There is virtually no man who does not like a multipurpose wallet; so, a gift like this to celebrate him on this special day will make a lot of difference. You can be sure it is one of the best Father’s Day gifts your daddy can get.

For the travelling dad,

The insulated steel bottle has different designs ad can be personalised. He can use it to keep water icy cold for a full 24 hours. However, if the weather is cold, his hot tea or coffee can be kept warm for up to 8 hours.

For the hands on dad,

Let’s give a gift where we can all get involved! Why not buy a plaque set which can be done with any engraving and language. Plaques can come in braai master, tree and hands down plaques. They also have stands and mini paint pots available so that the kids and dad can make them together. You can even customise bigger boards to include the whole family.

For the snack dad,

Chocolate! Chocolate and chocolate. Why not get a chocolate board, we found this chocolate board which has orders closing on the 14th of June to be able to ship them out on the 15th of June. It includes the chocolates and is R150. Alternatively make your own snack pack and hamper for dad.

Whether you choose sleek leather goods, make the gift yourself or buy him something fun, nothing is too much or too little to give your father on this special day.
