Whether it be a dad, step-dad, granddad, uncle, husband or just a general father figure, there’s likely someone special in your life you’re wanting to celebrate this Father’s Day.
Maybe you’ve been trying to come up with great ideas for weeks, or, like us, you’ve left your shopping to the last minute.
No matter the case, shopping for dads alike can be a tricky business, particularly when it comes down to the final days, hours and for those daring enough, minutes.
It may feel like you’ve already had every great idea in the book, and even gifted the book itself, only to be left stumped this year.
Before you go for your stock standard socks and undies (no judgement, anyone who doesn’t enjoy a new pair of these bad boys is kidding themselves) take a peek at some of these Father’s Day gift ideas.
Skincare
Dapper dad
Skincare is just as important for dads, so why not treat him to something extra special.

Oxfam
The gift of giving
Dad’s are pretty selfless beings. After all, they raised you with unconditional love. If they truly want nothing on their special day, a gift that gives back is one you can both feel good about.
You can gift a goat, chicken, clean drinking water and many other essentials to those struggling in poverty ravished countries and you get a cute card to gift as thanks.

Koala
Adopt a fire-ravished furry friend in need
Another option for those big-hearted dads out there, and one that hit particularly close to home after this year’s devastating bushfires, is to adopt a koala.
The World Wildlife Fund has options for all budgets and they’ll send you an adorable pack if you sign up. For those who can’t wait for the pack to arrive, they also have an at-home adoption certificate to print off and gift.
