1. Coffee classes for the Dad who runs on caffeine

If Dad can’t start his day without a great cup of coffee, why not treat him to a coffee class? From mastering the perfect espresso shot to learning latte art, these classes turn everyday coffee rituals into a fun skill. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, and he’ll think of you every time he brews his next cup. Plus, these coffee classes are available as instant gift vouchers, making them easy Father’s Day gifts. You can grab one last minute and still feel like a thoughtful champ.

2. Get Dad's hands dirty with pottery classes

For the creative or hands-on Dad, pottery classes offer a chance to get messy and make something unique. Whether it’s a rustic coffee mug or a quirky bowl, this gift will show Dad the feeling of accomplishment that comes with making something with your own two hands. Most pottery classes are beginner-friendly, so no worries if Dad’s never thrown a pot before. These classes are easy to book online and can be enjoyed at a pace that suits him—a relaxed yet rewarding way to celebrate Father’s Day.

We’re loving this hand building class in Annandale, Sydney, which offers creative sculpting freedom with time to paint and decorate too. Some of our community enjoyed this class so much, once wasn’t enough!

“2nd time going to this class. Had a ball the first time and just had to do it again. Couldn’t recommend the studio enough. Just such a fun experience” - Neala F.

3. Leatherwork classes for long-lasting crafts

Leatherwork is one of those cool, practical skills that create timeless, personal pieces. Think wallets, keychains or belts made by Dad himself. These classes are the perfect present for Dads who love working with their hands and can appreciate a well-crafted accessory. Easy to buy online and with most classes providing all the materials, it’s a great way for Dad to dip his toe in this useful and underrated craft. It’s a gift with lasting memories and lasting style.

4. Unearth Dad's inner artist with painting classes

Whether he’s an experienced painter or someone who hasn’t held a brush since school, painting classes offer a creative way for Dad to find his calm and express himself. These can be anything from classic watercolours to bold acrylics, or even themed sessions like paint your pet classes.

Painting classes can be booked last minute as digital gift vouchers, and many studios offer flexible dates so Dad can pick a time that works for him. Plus, it’s a calm, mindful activity, perfect for some downtime away from screens.

5. Cooking classes for the Dad who loves to eat (and cook)!

If Dad’s the king of the kitchen or just enjoys good food, cooking classes make excellent, easy Father’s Day gifts. From mastering BBQ techniques to diving into international cuisines like Italian or Thai, these experiences turn dinner into an event. Plus, with many classes sending recipes before or after the event, Dad can recreate his new dishes for family dinners. Bonus points: you might even get a delicious meal out of it! Cooking classes can be bought as gift vouchers and offer flexible scheduling, making them perfect for last-minute gifts.

6. Raise a glass to Dad with whisky tasting

For the Dad who appreciates a good stiff drink, whisky tasting experiences offer a sophisticated and fun way to explore new flavours. Whether it’s learning about the differences between Scotch, bourbon and rye or discovering hidden gems from boutique distilleries, these tastings provide a relaxed environment to expand Dad’s palate. This is one of those good Father’s Day gifts that are easy to organise at the last minute. Cheers to that!

7. Invite Dad to slow down with bonsai classes

Bonsai might not be the first thing that comes to mind for Father’s Day gifts, but for the Dad who enjoys gardening or a calm, meditative hobby, it’s a fantastic choice. Bonsai classes teach the art of nurturing miniature trees, combining creativity, patience and a love of nature. It’s a gift that keeps growing, literally and figuratively, giving Dad something beautiful and peaceful to focus on. Grab a gift voucher for a Bonsai class and let Dad choose when to start.

All these ideas share one big bonus—they’re experience gifts. That means no last-minute wrapping, no worrying about delivery times and no guessing if Dad will like what you bought. These easy Father’s Day gifts show thoughtfulness and effort without the usual shopping stress. Plus, they often open doors to new passions, hobbies and memories that will last well beyond the day itself.

So, if you’re hunting for easy Father’s Day gifts and it’s already crunch time, don’t panic. An experience gift ticks every box. It’s quick to buy, instantly available and guaranteed to make Dad feel appreciated and inspired.
