Super stuck for inspiration, looking for a break from the norm or maybe you’ve just left it until the last minute? Have no fear, because we’ve got five Father’s Day suggestions that will affirm your position as number one offspring.
1. WAKE UP & SMELL THE COFFEE (That you made)
All Dads love a gadget, and with this your old man will be able to get his morning coffee fix at the same time. Australia’s Oldest Coffee Roasters, Griffiths Bros have put together this rather good gift pack, that includes 500g of Papa New Guinea Roasted Organic Coffee, a starter pack of filters and a classic enamel ‘Man’s Mug’.
Griffiths Bros Aeropress Gift Set $75 www.griffithsbros.com.au
2. PAMPER POPS
My Dad still says the best gift I ever gave him for Father’s Day was anti-aging serum. Seriously! The “Groomed For Success” kit contains a trio of Thalgo’s favourite products for men including Shaving Gel, Cleansing Gel and After -Shave Balm, all contained in a heavy duty, water resistant navy toiletry bag (or Ablutions kit, as my Dad calls it). He’ll experience the benefits of deep skin cleansing, easy glide shaving and ultra superior hydration – all with Thalgo’s unique and subtle men’s oceanic fragrance.

3. COOGEE PAVILLION’S DAD-A-THALON
Having recently celebrated their first birthday, Coogee Pavillion is setting up for all those Dads with a competitive edge by hosting a Father’s Day ‘Dad–Athlon’ – including games, dad joke challenge, nappy changing races and a pizza eating. Sounds like it could get messy…Family friendly of course!
Coogee Pavillion, 169 Dolphin Street, Coogee 2034
4. BEER O’CLOCK
For the grown-ups: Share a paddle o’beer with your Pop, overlooking the fine shores of Manly. 4 Pines on site micro brewery means you can sample their home brewed craft beers and a cracking bar menu. It’s a great pub for your ordinary Sydney Sunday, and a perfect spot for Father’s Day.
4 Pines, 29/ 43-45 East Esplanade, Manly 2095
5. GOLDEN OLDIES
Thinking of doing something other than brunch this Father‘s Day? Why not take your Dad along to Golden Age for a movie date. Classic Dad will marvel at The Maltese Falcon, young-at-heart Dad will love Fantastic Mr Fox, and funny Dad can look on the bright side of life with Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Golden Age Cinema & Bar, Paramount House, 80 Commonwealth St, Surry Hills 2010
