Quick, it's time to spoil dad! And we've got the gifts to do it
Because Father's Day is this weekend people...
PSA: Father's Day is just days away. Landing on Sunday 1st September, if you've not already got your dad sorted, this is your sign that you really need to get it done. But thankfully we've rounded up all the best beauty and wellness gifts for the guy in your life this Father's Day.
Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day Wellness & Tech Gifts
We know when we say Father's Day and beauty in the same sentence so many people instantly think 'not my dad!', but we're here to prove to you even the most masculine of men can benefit from a bit of beauty in their lives.
Case in point: the 'wellness' arena of beauty. Because what dad doesn't need a little extra wellness? Pair that with the often tech-related aspect of the category and most men will be stocked.
We've found the similarity that almost all men share, and it's a lack of water consumption. Yep, random right? But how many men do you know that actually drink their two litres of water a day? We'd bet very few. So, maybe if we gave them a super cute (and easy to sip from) water bottle, maybe they'll be more motivated to take a swig. We reckon the Hydro Flask Wide Flex Straw Bottle ($79.99 at Katmandu) will be the key to their success!
If your dad is forever complaining about being sore, then we've found the tool to help soothe his aches and pains. The Therabody Theragun SENSE ($449 at Adore Beauty) is the lightweight at-home massaging device that will help to relieve his soreness and take away his stresses.
If the men in your life are anything like ours, they probably need a gentle nudge in the 'new' direction for their grooming tools. And by that we mean flat out buying them the Philips Shaver 3000 Series Wet & Dry Electric Shaver (currently $99 usually $119 at Myer). With its multi-blade, pivoting power their stubble will be trimmed into perfect place. If only the shaver had the power to clean the sink after it was used...
Father's Day Haircare Gifts
When it comes to men's hair, they tend to fall into two categories: 'haven't washed it in years and couldn't imagine styling it' or 'all over their fresh fades'. And while we're pretty confident we can't convert the former, we can definitely stock the shower and bathroom cabinets with all the hair-loving goodies.
If the men in your life have been complaining about a flurry of flakes (or TBH if you're sick of seeing them), Lil J Scalp Repair Shampoo ($30 at Lil J) will work to keep them at bay, plus it has a stunning cedarwood and lemongrass scent.
Once their stands are clean, it's time to give them the chance to mould them into place. American Crew Classic Defining Paste ($29.95 at Adore Beauty) offers a medium hold, matte finish to their look. Because what guy doesn't need a styling paste?
Father's Day Skin Care Gifts
When it comes to getting men to use skin care, we know the struggle is real. But as far as we're concerned, everyone (and we do mean everyone) needs to have a bottle of cleanser and sunscreen on hand. Paula's Choice Clear Pore Normalizing Cleanser (Currently $22.40 usually $28 at Paula's Choice) is great at clearing out all the pore-clogging gunk.
Look, we're going to let you in on a secret here. If you can get the men in your life to wear a sunscreen (especially on their faces), then the mesoestetic Mesoprotech Mineral Matt Antiaging Fluid 50+ (currently $76.80 usually $96 at Oz Hair and Beauty) is the next step (along with a hat, sunnies and frequent reapplication, of course). But why is it so great? Well aside from providing much needed sun-protection, this serum-like fluid also contains anti-ageing and mattifying benefits. Yep, we'll be picking up a bottle for ourselves too.
If your dad's got a beard, then it's time to help him take care of it (because we know it's their downfall). Starting off with the Murdock Barbers of London Clean Shave Kit ($63 at MECCA) they'll be able to perfect those beard lines or shave it all off if they so want, all while nourishing their skin beneath. And because we know beard hair is often coarse and dry, gift them the nourishing Rhone Skincare Beard Oil (currently $30 usually $40 at Rhone Skincare) to help hydrate those strands.
Father's Day Fragrance Gifts
Finding your dad a new signature scent can be tricky. That's why Chemist Warehouse and their 'up to half price men's fragrance sale' is a serious god send. You can either top up what you know he already loves, or force him to branch out. Our pick? Well obviously it has to look as good as it smells, so the Versace Eros EDT (currently $99.99 usually $160 at Chemist Warehouse) is the strong, masculine scent you'll all enjoy.
Is there a better way to get the men in your life to smell the best than gifting them a shower gel and deodorant stick in the same scent? We think not! So you need to add to cart this specifically created for Father's Day collection from L'Occitane ($69 at Adore Beauty). The woody, spicy notes will envelop your senses with their bold, delicious notes.
