While it doesn’t seem like that long ago you were picking out a gift for your dad or partner for Christmas, here we are, nearly at Father’s Day! When we say ‘nearly’, don’t panic — it’s still more than a month away, with the occasion falling on Sunday, September 4 this year.

Still though, no matter how much time you have, it often seems never enough to find something suitable for someone who already has everything. So, from an apron with all its proceeds going to charity, to an air fryer big enough to cook a whole chicken, hopefully you’ll find at least one thing that will suit dad within this gift guide.

Get your dad a great gift and donate to a good cause with this T. House cotton apron, designed especially for Father’s Day. All proceeds from it go directly towards Eat Up Australia. They deliver thousands of meals to Australian schools weekly with a mission of feeding hungry children to allow them to grow, learn and succeed.

Gift dad to a nice bottle of gin he can break out after a long day. Co-owned by Ryan Reynolds, Aviation Gin ($79.99) is distilled using eight botanicals, including cardamom, coriander, lavender, and anise seed. Never Never Distilling Co’s Dark Series Oyster Shell Gin ($75) was developed in collaboration with Society Restaurant in Melbourne, and is an expression of the Australian coastline.

Comfy bedding is definitely a practical gift, but still, one they’ll appreciate. Tontine Mattress Topper ($63) adds an extra layer of cotton and polyester cushioning above a mattress — and, even at king size, is small enough to fit in the wash. Another option is the The Koala Pillow ($169) — though you’d like want to get at least two so $338 for both. The gel foam pillow has both a softer and firm side.

Chances are your dad or partner already has a weekender bag, so, if that’s the case, check if it’s in need of an upgrade. If so, consider July’s Carry All Weekender ($295), which has a minimalist design with, helpfully, a padded sleeve compartment for laptops.

Dad or your partner will appreciate a massage — especially if he doesn’t even have to travel for it. On Blys, you can choose their preferred massage style — Swedish Relaxation, Remedial Tissue, Lymphatic Drainage and Sports — along with the treatment duration, and then book a therapist to come to their home to do it. Prices start at $124.95.

For many men, a facial is a treat they rarely buy for themselves. So, spoil them this Father’s Day by getting them one. Choose from facials including AquaFacial ($169), Anti-Ageing HydroJelly Advanced Facial ($99) and Illuminating Orange Peel HydroJelly Advanced Facial ($149). For each, the facialist will customise the treatment to combat their specific skin concern.

Another great spot for mens’ facials, with over 100 locations around Australia, is Endota Spa. Their New Age Light Therapy ($165) treatment uses a mango and pomegranate enzyme peel to deeply cleanse and exfoliate, as well as an LED light, while their Laser Genesis ($250-$300) gently heats deep layers of the skin.

Let your dad or partner easily soothe their tired muscles by gifting them a Theragun. The Theragun Mini ($240. 84 ) is a great option for on-the-go, while the pricier Theragun Pro ($714.95) offers a deep muscle treatment that enhances muscle recovery, releases stress and tension and soothes discomfort.

For the dad in your life who likes cooking, to help make it easier for them to fry, bake, grill or roast, get them an air fryer. The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL (now $534.65) automatically adjusts its cooking time and temperature based on the food inside. And, at an XXL size, it’ll fit a whole chicken or 1.4kg of fries, and cooks twice as fast compared to a mini oven.
