The Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Guide: Four Gifts Dad Will Actually Love

Father’s Day is this weekend, which means the clock is officially ticking. If you’ve left Dad’s gift to the last minute, don’t panic - from premium bourbon and design-led audio to elevated grooming and Australian spirits, these are the gifts worth getting your hands on before Sunday.
For the Dad Who Hears Every Detail
KEF Coda W Wireless HiFi Speaker | RRP $1,499 AUD
For the dad who believes music should be heard exactly as the artist intended, the KEF Coda W is a gift he’ll use every day. Inspired by KEF’s iconic Coda speakers, this all-in-one wireless HiFi speaker combines renowned acoustic engineering with modern wireless streaming, delivering rich, room-filling sound from everything from vinyl records to Spotify playlists.
Elegant, intuitive and designed for serious listening, it’s an ideal upgrade for the dad who has strong opinions about his speakers — and probably already has a carefully curated playlist to match.
For the Dad Who Never Says No to a Great Bourbon
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon | RRP $79.99 AUD
For the dad who appreciates a proper pour, Elijah Craig Small Batch is a Father's Day classic. Crafted from a selection of 8 to 12-year-old barrels and aged in Level 3 charred oak, the bourbon delivers warm spice, subtle smoke, vanilla and caramel, finishing long and smooth.
Whether enjoyed neat, over ice or mixed into a classic Old Fashioned, it’s a bottle worthy of raising a glass to Dad.
For the Dad Who Likes His Grooming Game Sorted
Dulesé Refillable Deodorant | From $34.99
For the dad who appreciates good design and a smarter approach to everyday essentials, Dulesé puts a premium spin on one of the most overlooked items in his bathroom cabinet.
The refillable deodorant system is aluminium-free and baking soda-free, pairing a considered, minimalist design with a more sustainable refill format. The starter set includes the reusable case and first refill, while replacement refills make it easy to keep stocked.
For the Dad Who Appreciates a Good Australian Pour
Seven Seasons Green Ant Gin | RRP $99.99 AUD
For the dad who likes discovering something a little different, Seven Seasons’ Green Ant Gin brings a distinctly Australian twist to the classic spirit.
Made with green ants alongside native Australian botanicals, it’s a conversation-starting bottle that celebrates Indigenous Australian ingredients and the unique flavours of the Top End. Serve it simply with tonic or use it as the base for a more considered weekend cocktail.
Or Skip the Gift and Take Dad Out
Sometimes the best Father’s Day gift is time together — preferably over a very good breakfast or lunch.
For a relaxed breakfast or brunch, head to Martha’s Wareemba for a leisurely morning of Mediterranean-inspired fare, good food and coffee. With its relaxed neighbourhood feel and produce-led menu, it’s an easy option for starting Father’s Day without the pressure of getting everyone dressed up.
For something a little more celebratory, book lunch at Botanica Vaucluse, a beautiful dining destination offering an elevated setting for a long Father’s Day lunch. With its produce-led menu and relaxed yet refined atmosphere, it’s the kind of meal Dad will remember long after the presents have been opened.
Whether he’s a bourbon connoisseur, a music obsessive, a grooming minimalist or simply appreciates a good meal, there’s still time to make Father’s Day count.
