Keep scrolling to discover our last-minute Father’s Day gift guide of pieces you can pick up before Sunday. You are most welcome.
The foodie dad
For the foodie dad, there are only two real ways to impress: something he can consume, or something he can consume something out of. You can’t go wrong with some special Father’s Day-themed choocies from Koko Black, or locally sourced honey from The Tea Centre. And for something a little bit different, go for a keep-cup or thermos for those daily commutes or weekend adventures – it’s the gift he won’t even know he wanted.
The “finer things in life” dad
Who doesn’t love a bit of luxury? For the dads that have a taste for the finer things – the kind of dads who have taught you everything you know about shopping – opt for something that little bit more elevated. We say a silver keytag pendant has got his name on it, especially if you get it engraved at Duncan Vickers Engraver for the extra special touch. If not, a cologne or bodycare kit never goes amiss, or something big-ticket like a Montblanc pen from the experts at The Pen Shoppe will go down a treat.
The chill dad
This is the kind of dad that should be the easiest to buy for, but alas, the chill dads are so “go with the flow” they’ll never give you the gift hints you are after. When in doubt, think of things he will use every day, like wearable staples such as leather belts or basic tees from Bolt + Buckle, or an old-faithful Birkenstock Boston he will simply live in for years to come.
The outdoorsy dad
This one’s for the dad who will never be caught more than two days in a row indoors. Gift him something he can take on those weekend camping trips, like polarised shades to keep him looking cool, or a Bolt + Buckle leather duffle for all his essentials. Or for something even more unique, go for a luxury lighter or pocket compass, equally sentimental and practical options for this Father’s Day.
For all your Father’s Day gifting needs this weekend (and maybe a little something for yourself too), head to the heart of the city where Brisbane Arcade is ready to help you tick everything off the list, all in one place.
