Father’s Day Gift Guide: What Aussie Dads Really Want in 2025

Finding something Dad will actually love? Easier said than done. One minute you’re thinking maybe he’d like something practical, next thing you know you’re three mugs deep into the “World’s Greatest Dad” aisle and absolutely none the wiser.

I’ve been there. Too many times.

So, this year, I made a proper effort. I brewed a cup of tea, parked myself on the couch, and did a bit of a scroll through Everything But Flowers—one of my go-to sites for pressies that are actually useful and a little bit spesh. And let me tell you, they’ve absolutely nailed it this year. I found gifts that are thoughtful, a bit stylish, and very dad-friendly.

Whether your dad’s a golfer, a backyard relaxer, a low-key fashion king, or just a man who loves a laugh, there’s something in this guide that’ll feel right.

Let’s get into it, yeah?

1. The Everyday Card Holder – With a Personal Touch

This Black Leather Card Holder is the sort of thing that makes a dad feel like a proper gentleman even if he’s still using a Velcro wallet from the '90s.

And the monogram? That’s the cherry on top. You can pop his initials on it (or even just “DAD” if you're feeling sweet), and suddenly it feels ten times more personal.

It’s slim, stylish, and honestly – it’ll last him years. Every time he whips it out to pay for his coffee or tuck it into his back pocket, he’ll think of you. Sweet, right?

And hey, if you’re lucky, he might finally ditch that overstuffed old wallet that makes him look like he’s carrying a brick.

2. Gentleman’s Watch Case Duo

This one's for the stylish (or wannabe stylish) dad who’s got more than one watch floating around in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. The Gentleman’s Watch Case Duo gives his timepieces a proper home—and let's be honest, they deserve better than rolling around next to spare keys and loose batteries.

It’s sleek, compact, and says, “Yes, I am a man of refined tastes,” even if he’s wearing thongs at the time. Also, if you’re the one who gave him the watch, this is a perfect follow-up gift. Full circle moment.

Plus, it’s a subtle way of encouraging him to stop leaving his watches all over the house. A win for everyone involved.

3. Golfer’s Hip Flask and Divot Tool

Got a dad who disappears for “just a quick 9 holes” and returns five hours later smelling like sunscreen and beer? This is the one. The Golfer’s Hip Flask and Divot Tool combo is practical, cheeky, and right up a golf dad’s alley.

It’s the kind of gift that’ll get a good chuckle, but he’ll still actually use it. Perfect for slipping into the golf bag for a round with the boys—or even just for a laugh when he's out in the backyard practicing his swing.

And honestly, even if he’s not much of a drinker, it’s still a classy bit of kit that he’ll appreciate. Just the kind of novelty that feels like a treat.

4. His Relaxation Hamper

Some dads are always on the go. Fixing taps, picking you up from the airport, helping mates move house—sometimes you just want to say, “Oi, sit down for five minutes and relax.”

This Relaxation Hamper is the permission slip he didn’t know he needed. It’s full of cosy, soothing goodies—think of Plush Charcoal Robe, Seasalt & Sandalwood Body Lotion, tasty snacks, maybe even a soft white hand towel. It’s all about giving him a moment to pause and enjoy something just for him.

Last year, I gave this to someone who never sits still—and for once, they did. They sank into their favourite chair, opened the hamper, and just... chilled. No distractions, no to-do lists. Just a few hours of pure peace. It was kind of magical to witness.

Sometimes the best gift is the nudge to slow down—and this one delivers.

5. Sunnylife Pool Ring – Call of the Wild

Look, not every dad is serious and refined. Some are just big kids with car keys. If your dad’s the kind who isn’t afraid to have a laugh, this Sunnylife Pool Ring is absolutely golden.

Big, bold, and made for floating around like a boss, it’s one of those gifts that’s perfect for summer arvos in the pool, long weekends at the beach, or even just making a splash on the family holiday.

Watching Dad try to get on it without tipping over? Comedy gold. Bonus points if you catch it on camera and use it as future blackmail. (Kidding... kind of.)

And if you don’t have a pool? Who says you can’t blow it up in the living room for the fun of it?

Final Thoughts (and a Little Heart)

The older I get, the more I realise that Father’s Day isn’t about spending heaps or going over the top. It’s about getting something that makes him feel seen. Something that shows, “Hey, I know you, and I thought of you when I picked this.”

That’s why I adore the picks from Everything But Flowers. The gifts feel personal, like you’ve gone the extra step. So go on, treat your old man. Give him something he’ll actually use, laugh about, or brag to his mates about. He’s earned it.

Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome dads—you are something special.
