Let Dad paint and sip in Mount Lawley, build a Kokedama, or blend his own signature scent.

Foodie gifts for Dads who love to eat
Perth’s food scene is thriving, and we have plenty of delicious options to impress Dad this Father’s Day:
- Asian cooking: Does Dad love Asian food? Well, let him explore his favourite cuisine, whether it’s Japanese, Chinese or Indian food, and make classic dishes you know he’ll love.
- Pizza making: These hands-on classes are perfect for Dads who like to get stuck in. Kneading dough is tactile and satisfying and the reward at the end is a plate full of something delicious you made together.
- Chocolate workshops: Sweet-tooth Dads will love tempering chocolate, decorating truffles or crafting a show-stopping dessert. Bonus points if you bring a coffee from his favourite local roaster for the ride home.
- Barista and coffee sessions: Perth takes its coffee seriously. A coffee class teaches the basics of espresso extraction, milk texturing and latte art, so Dad can pour café-worthy flat whites or cappuccinos in his own kitchen.
Creative gifts for hands-on Dads
Give Dad a chance to make something lasting with these unique gifts for him:
- Wheel throwing: There’s something therapeutic about centering clay and shaping a bowl or mug. A local pottery workshop is a great way for Dad to try a new skill and he’ll get a finished piece fired and ready to use.
- Crochet and knitting: More men are getting into crochet and knitting and for good reason! It’s satisfying and meditative and allows Dads to get out of their heads and let their hands knit away until they’ve made their own woollen scarf or beanie!
- Metalwork: For Dads who love DIY, an introductory metalwork session is a brilliant choice. He can learn safe tool use and craft a simple project, then come home fired up to tackle any improvement projects at home.
- Fluid art: Help Dad make his own resin art cheeseboard or alcohol ink pot planter, perfect for adding a pop of colour to his space.
Relaxed ideas for Dads who need a break
Sometimes, the best Father’s Day ideas in Perth can offer are the ones that invite Dad to slow down:
- Candle making: These classes are aromatic, soothing and surprisingly technical in the best way. Dad can customise scents and leave with a set that turns his home into a calm retreat.
- Perfume blending: A personalised fragrance workshop is a cool twist he won’t see coming. It’s a chance to learn about notes and essential oils and bottle something that’s uniquely his.
- Paint and sip nights: Zero pressure, all fun. Bring your dad, paint something cheerful, have a laugh and leave with a bright canvas for the study or living room.
- Kokedama making: Let Dad relax and slow down at a Kokedama making class! He’ll learn how to make his own moss ball while spending quality time with his loved ones. What a win-win!
Why experiences make the best Father’s Day gifts
Stuff gets used up or forgotten but experiences become stories. A workshop or class lets Dad learn a new skill, switch off from daily life, and leave with something he made himself. And if you book two spots, you’ve instantly built in quality time. Team up on a pottery wheel, battle for the best dumpling folds or paint side by side and compare masterpieces. It’s a gift and a plan rolled into one, which is a big win if you’re short on ideas or time.
Last-minute but still meaningful
Running late this year? Our gift cards are an excellent save. They’re delivered by email, can be redeemed on a huge range of Perth workshops, and let Dad pick what he’s genuinely excited about. You can print the voucher, pop it in a card with a handwritten note, and you’re done. Add a small tie-in gift to round it out: a packet of specialty coffee with a barista class, a blank leather notebook with a leathercraft session or a set of paintbrushes for a painting workshop.
Personalising your pick
To zero in on the perfect Father’s Day ideas Perth offers, think about:
- His weekend vibe: Is he high-energy or laid-back?
- Time preferences: Early bird or night owl?
- Social style: Would he enjoy a bigger group or prefer a cosy, small class?
- Practical takeaways: Would he love coming home with a new skill, a handmade item, or a set of recipes?
How to book smoothly
- Browse our Perth workshops early for the best dates and variety.
- Check skill level and what’s included so Dad shows up prepared.
- If you’re keeping it secret, pop the class date into his calendar after you give the gift.
- For family groups, see if a private session is available so the whole crew can join.
So there you have it! This guide has made planning your Father’s Day gifts in Perth simple and easy to organise! Whether Dad is a foodie, a maker or a homebody, there’s a workshop that fits him perfectly. Add a personal note, a small local touch, and you’ve got a Father’s Day gift he’ll talk about long after the day is done.
