Father's Day is this Sunday 4 September and if you need a last minute gift idea, you can get your hands on a winning Father's Day gift within a stone’s throw!
There are so many great ideas and experiences right here on the Beaches. Think a private lesson with a golf pro, hiring a boat for the day, a brewery tour, unique artwork or fancy handmade keep cup or tickets to a local event.
And the best bit is, dad gets an awesome gift and you’ll be supporting our local businesses.
If you’re stuck for ideas, try one of these.
Go out for a great meal
Many local restaurants and cafes are offering Father’s Day brunch, lunch and dinner. Find out if your local is doing anything special and support them.
Or buy a gift voucher for dad to enjoy at a later date.
Love for local retailers
Lots of local surf shops, gift shops and other retailers have popular last minute gift ideas for dad.
Be a tourist in your own backyard
Support our local tourism operators and explore our glorious area.
Buy a gift voucher or spend some time with your dad and hire a kayak, stand up paddle board, or mountain bike. Book a sailing lesson, a brewery tour – the options are endless.
Give the gift of experience
Vouchers for a local cooking class, art workshop, gin tasting, spa voucher (dads like spa days too!) can be something extra special you could do together.
A perfect local present is the gift of theatre with a gift voucher to Glen Street Theatre.
Gift dad something truly unique
Support our local creative community by buying a unique gift for dad from a local artist or from our MAG&M Design Shop.
Donate to your dad’s favourite charity
Do some good and give the money you would spend on a material gift to a charity your dad feels passionate about. There are many local charities and services who could do with your donation.
A green gift for their home or garden
Who doesn’t love a little bit of greenery to add to their living room or home office? Buy a funky new plant from your local nursery.
Remember to wrap your gifts sustainably by using old wrapping paper, ribbon, fabric, newspaper and make your own cards.
We hope you enjoy Sunday and are able to make your dad and the important men in your life feel special.
