Father's Day Gifts 2025

When is Father’s Day?

In Australia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. In 2025, Father's Day will be on Sunday, 7th of September.

Why Do We Celebrate Father’s Day?

The first Father’s Day was celebrated in June 1909 to complement the Mother’s Day celebrations which were extremely popular. We celebrate our fathers and father figures in our lives and in the community, recognising their massive, positive impact on our lives. It was thought that children have a closer bond with their mothers growing up, and we should also form a close bond with our fathers as well.

What to Write in a Father’s Day Card?

4. Warm Closing: End your card with a warm closing to get Dad smiling.

What to Get Dad This Father’s Day?

What to buy your Dad really depends on his interests and hobbies. Here are some ideas:

Sports Enthusiast: Consider getting him a portable speaker or a TV for him to listen to the sports while working in the garage. A new sports jersey or memorabilia from his favourite team could also be a hit.

BBQ Master: We have a range of BBQs, plus all the added tools and BBQ accessories such as mitts, drip pans, grill baskets, and cleaning gear.

Tech Lover: If he’s into gaming, a Nintendo Switch, Xbox, or PS5 could be a great gift. Games provide many hours of family entertainment, and you can even let Dad win a few games on Father’s Day. Additionally, consider accessories like a gaming headset or a charging dock.

DIY Enthusiast: A new set of tools, a high-quality drill, or an organisational system for his workspace could be perfect for a dad who loves DIY projects.

Health-Conscious Dad: Consider a massage gun to help him relax and recover after workouts or a long day.

What to Do with Your Dad This Father’s Day?

Outdoor Activities: If your dad is sporty, you can go for a hike with him. Share his passion for the great outdoors, and consider a Fitbit fitness tracker to count steps together. You could also plan a fishing trip, a day at the beach, or a camping weekend. Don't forget to bring your power station to keep your devices charged during your camping adventure.

Art and Culture: If your dad is artistic, treat him to an art gallery or show. You could also explore art walks and trails in your area.

Gaming: If your dad is a gamer, join him in some video games. Let him enjoy a new gaming console like an Xbox or PS5 and some new games. Organise a family game night with classic board games or multiplayer video games.

Gardening or DIY: Help Dad in the garden or in the garage. Sometimes, the best thing you can give Dad on Father’s Day is your time and company.

Foodie Dads: Gift Dad an air fryer. It's a great way for him to cook delicious, healthy food with ease. You could also plan a day of cooking together, trying out new recipes, or even taking a cooking class.
