The Best Father’s Day Gifts For Every Dad

Dad, pāpā, daddy, pop, tamā, Brian - whatever you call the father in your life, be sure to give him some love on September 1!

Father’s Day is a time to show your favourite father figure that you think he’s pretty awesome. And, while most Kiwi dads won’t admit it, they love to be spoiled!
So… why not think outside pineapple lumps and tickets to the rugby.. and get him something that’ll make him look and feel great?

Here are our top Father’s day gift ideas that are fun, useful, and a bit out-of-the-box. From swanky men’s gift sets to sensible accessories, we’ve got something for every dad.

For His Dad Bod

Some dads run, some lift weights, some do CrossFit… and some prefer a nice hike, a round of golf, or the odd bit of rugby (playing, not just watching!). Whatever the activity, a little extra protein can help him keep going for longer. 

Musashi 100% Whey is a super-premium blend of whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate to support lean muscle and optimise recovery from exercise. This delicious, low-carb formula is great for active blokes looking to top up their protein intake in the easiest way possible. Simply mix with water, milk, or food and use throughout the day and on non-training days. Choose from Vanilla Milkshake, Chocolate Milkshake, and Salted Caramel.

For His Dad Do'

Whether he admits it or not, your Dad loves his hair to look and smell great. So why not give him the ultimate excuse for pampering his lustrous locks? 

The Organic Formulations hair care range is made from plant-based ingredients and organic essential oils, and completely free from SLS, parabens, silicones or soap. Infused with the blissful scents of Coconut, Lemon myrtle, or Mandarin & Rose Geranium, these divine shampoos and conditioners leave hair feeling clean but not stripped, so they’re perfect for everyday use. Best of all, the Organic Formulations range is committed to sustainability, so you’ll be helping to save the planet, too! 

For His Dad Face

If your old man doesn’t already have a skincare routine, it’s time to get him started! All blokes need to cleanse and moisturise every day, especially in New Zealand’s harsh climate. A basic skincare routine can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. 

Wild Ferns® Rotorua Mud skincare is a proud Kiwi brand that celebrates the essence of New Zealand’s nature. Uniquely formulated with mud from Rotorua’s famous mud pools and other New Zealand-sourced ingredients, this highly therapeutic range is rich in minerals and restorative nutrients. Treat Dad to a Mud Face Pack with Manuka Honey, or go all out with a Wild Ferns Rotorua Mud Gift Box.

For the father figure who likes to get his hands dirty, the Wild Ferns Lanolin Hand and Nail Creme with Rosehip Oil and Keratin will help keep calluses at bay. And for keeping his lotions and potions safely stored away, grab a snazzy toilet bag from the huge HB&Co range. 

For His Dad Smell

Your dad should feel scent-sational every day of the year, and Father’s Day is the perfect time to update his fragrance! 

If he’s the sporty type, he won’t be able to resist an Eau de Toilette from the Adidas range. The Adidas Team Force EDT is a fresh, energetic fragrance with notes of grapefruit and lemon, fruity green pear, and a musky base. 

More of an office dad? CALVIN KLEIN Aqua for him could be just the ticket. Inspired by the freshness of the ocean and the modern man, this aquatic-woody fragrance features notes of water-drenched green leaves, cucumber, and the warmth of sandalwood. Fancy!

Can’t decide? Brut is a fail-safe, tried and tested classic. Even Elvis Presley used it! This iconic men’s fragrance is masculine yet sophisticated, and it’ll keep Dad feeling suave whether he’s in a board meeting or on the farm. And if the Brut Original EDT isn’t enough, throw in the Brut Original Roll on Deodorant or perhaps a Brut Original After Shave Lotion.

For His Dad Fuzz

Dads and tools go together like bacon and eggs (which, by the way, would go down a treat on Father's Day morning). And the one tool that every dad should have is an electric shaver. Electric shavers don’t just mean fewer nicks and scrapes; they make the daily chore of shaving and trimming a doddle. And who wouldn’t want their old man to look smooth and stubble-free?

The Braun 310BT Rechargeable Electric Shaver & Beard Trimmer will give Dad a real buzz. This 3-in-1 electric shaver and beard trimmer can be used wet or dry, and includes a 3-Flex head for efficiency and skin comfort, plus a beard trimmer head and five combs for stubble. 

Cordless and rechargeable, it’s everything a self-respecting pāpā could want in a shaver! 

But if he’s the type of bloke who prefers a good old blade and foam, the Gillette Fusion Proshield Razor is a cut above the rest. Featuring FlexBall technology, this classy razor shields skin from irritation and gets “virtually every hair” effortlessly. 

For His Dad Dentistry

Sure, a waterflosser might seem like a weird gift - but why not show your favourite father figure that you care for his dental health? Besides, dads love gadgets!  

Water flossers are a super efficient alternative to regular flossing. They help to clean away plaque and trapped food by blasting water between the teeth and under the gumline. The smart way for Dad to keep on top of his oral hygiene! The Waterpik® Ultra Plus Water Flosser features 10 pressure settings and comes with six unique tips. For dads on the go, the portable Waterpik Water Flosser Cordless Express is perfect for small spaces, travel, and using in the shower.
