Intrigued? Read on to discover our beginner-friendly guide to help you come up with a gift that your father will absolutely adore.

Find something that sparks their interest 

The first step in finding the perfect gift for your dad is understanding what he's passionate about. Whether he loves the great outdoors, is an avid reader or he enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, knowing his interests could lead you straight to his ideal present. 

If your dad is an art lover, check out our paint and sip classes in Australia—a fun-filled event where you’ll get hands-on painting lessons while enjoying your favourite beverage. This activity is the perfect combination of creativity and relaxation, making it the right present for Dad, especially if he’s interested in painting but never got around starting it himself. Guided by a passionate artist, Dad will learn how to paint a masterpiece while catching up with you over a drink. During the class, you’ll find Dad laughing over shared mistakes as well as complimenting each other, making this experience go beyond just learning how to paint.

For Dads who love nature and have a green thumb, bring him along to a terrarium or kokedama making class near you. These hands-on activities will help Dad get out of the house, slow down his mind and embrace the present moment. Learn how to choose and arrange gorgeous succulent plants, and take home his very own mini jungle to add to his home or office space. 

Discover Dad’s love language 

The concept of 'love languages’ isn't just for romantic relationships, it can also help in understanding what kind of gifts would resonate most with your dad. The five love languages– words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch—all represent different ways people feel loved and appreciated. So which one does Dad fit with the most? 

Knowing your dad's love language is essential to find the perfect gift for him. If your dad’s love language is physical touch, pottery classes make an excellent date night idea with Mum. Sink your hands into clay or get behind the pottery wheel and learn how to make unique ceramic pieces. Guided by an experienced ceramicist, Mum and Dad will learn the basics of wheel throwing or pinch pot building, then they’ll get plenty of time to bond and create something beautiful together using nothing but clay and their two hands. 

If your father's love language happens to be words of affirmation, which is expressing affection through spoken affection, praise, or appreciation, coffee classes could indeed make him feel loved and cherished! Signing him up for coffee brewing classes would not only provide practical skills but also give you plenty of opportunities to give him compliments along the way. Tell him how much you admire his determination to learn something new or express your pride as he masters each stage of coffee making. What’s more, every time he brews coffee at home using the skills learned from class—whether it's first thing in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up—he’ll be reminded of your thoughtful gift and heartfelt words. Whatever Dad’s love language is, swap material gifts for unique gift experiences for Dad and take your gift giving to the next level.
