Typical dad — the hardest people to shop for because they never want anything specific for any occasion. But how could we not celebrate their tireless work as a parent? If you’re still fretting over what to get for your father, click through the gallery to see what team BAZAAR would like to get for one of the most important men in their lives.
“Dad spends his weekends on his sailboat and we are all rallied to jump on board and help out. It’s beautiful sailing across the open harbour in Sydney but there are times when we dread the outings because of the strong sun or harsh winds. A bottle of wine always comes in handy to calm frazzled nerves and the side eyes on this cutest bottle holder really says it all!”
“Dad used to have a massive home brew system set up but the family staged an intervention when one of the recycled-many-times-over beer bottles exploded. He never really said anything but I think he does miss brewing. This nifty kit lets him indulge in a hobby while being compact and safe. So score on multiple fronts!”

“I’ve been meaning to invest in a proper Backgammon set so my dad, my son and I can play in style.”
“A few years ago when I was at Raffles Spa, I was served this incredible water from this premium Vitajuwel glass bottle, and I never forgot the taste. These hand-picked gemstones are placed in the glass bottles to structure the water according to their unique vibrations. There are 17 gemstone blends available based on your preferences and mood. I purchased a vial of sodalite and clear quartz online and have enjoyed it since. This Father’s Day, I would love to give my dad the Vitajuwel Dispenser Grande (7 litre). He can serve more than just a few cups to guests or family members. My dad will surely enjoy the many benefits of drinking crystal-infused water. It also looks beautiful on the table.”
“My dad used to be a bus and taxi driver. He loves the sun and outdoor activities. I would like to get him cool sunglasses to protect his eyes from UV light.”

“My dad recently moved on from photography and has been taking a lot of videos. I’m getting him this gimbal to help him level up.”
“My dad loves taking photographs of the kids with his massive DSLR whenever the opportunity strikes, and it’d be nice to have them printed into a nicely-bound photo book like those on Milkbooks. I know the world is all about digitalisation these days, but being able to pick up a physical photo book just hits different.”
“Not particularly dad specific, but my entire family has problems sleeping in complete silence, so for Father’s Day I think the LectroFan EVO white noise machine will make a great gift. And it’s more cost efficient in the long run when it comes to saving on electricity bill — when I was a kid, we left the television on as background noise before heading to bed.”
“This self-cleaning water bottle uses light technology to eliminate harmful bacteria. Plus, its double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 hours—perfect for my dad who’s constantly on the go.”

“I am a huge proponent of preventative anti-ageing skincare. The Rich Cream from Augustinus Bader, formulated with proprietary cellular renewal technology, is the perfect all-in-one skincare product for my dad who enjoys fuss-free products that actually work. It’s intensely moisturising and soothing, while promoting healthy, plumper-looking skin. What’s not to love?”
“Health is wealth and my dad has been going on walks, jogs and hikes to improve his stamina and mobility. This Father’s Day, I want to give him a pair of sneakers that are comfortable, practical and, most importantly, stylish. This goes to show, fashion doesn’t always have to be painful.”
