1. The Gold Gods Solid Gold Franco Chain and Matching Bracelet
In Partnership with The Gold Gods
This Father’s Day, give the gift of timeless elegance with a Solid Gold Franco Chain and Matching Bracelet from The Gold Gods. Both pieces are crafted from 100% authentic solid gold and can be selected in various sizes to suit his personal style. Together or separately, they represent a thoughtful gift that celebrates the special bond you share with Dad but also signifies a lasting token of appreciation. Let’s take a closer look at both pieces.
Solid Gold Palm Wheat Franco Chain Hollow – The Franco Chain “link” is known for its robust and resilient design, intricately weaving together a classic pattern of V-shaped links. This stellar and stylish design not only ensures durability and a comfortable fit but simultaneously exudes bold sophistication. Perfect for daily wear or special occasions, it can complement both casual and formal attire, making it a versatile addition to Dad’s arsenal.
Solid Gold Palm Wheat Franco Bracelet Hollow – Round out Dad’s stylish new look with this matching solid gold bracelet. It pairs with the aforementioned chain and brings everything together in perfect cohesion, thereby amplifying his overall aesthetic. Call it a striking yet subtle touch of luxury that functions as wonderfully on its own as it does when combined with the gold chain. Choose between a variety of lengths and widths to give him a personalised fit.
With their fingers on the pulse of urban fashion, The Gold Gods deliver maximum quality and cutting-edge style in equal measure. Their beautiful accessories source the finest materials such as the 100% real solid gold used on the Franco Chain & Bracelet Set listed above. We don’t know your dad personally, but we do know that he’ll be looking downright sharp—and feeling all kinds of confident—when rolling with this kind of jewellery. Look out world!
2. R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman
Price: from AU$649
When you see the name R.M. Williams next to words like “comfort” and “craftsman,” you know your feet are in for something special. Each boot is forged in Adelaide from a single piece of yearling leather, with a padded heel and durable rubber sole. A bit pricey perhaps, but also worth every penny.
3. LEGO Porsche 911 #10295
Price: from AU$259.99
For car lovers and LEGO builders, we present the perfect mix of hobbyism and collectibility. Assemble 1458 pieces to create a miniature Porsche 911, complete with tilting seats and other painstaking details. Display the results in your man cave while you save up for the real thing!
4. High Camp Firelight 750 Flask
Price: from AU$159.99
High Camp calls the Firelight a hip flask but we like to think of it as a portable party apparatus. It holds room for up to 750ml of liquid and uses stainless steel construction with vacuum insulation to preserve temperature and quality for up to 24 hours. Two full-size tumblers are part of the package and they magnetically integrate with the main vessel for seamless storage and transport. Now who wants a drink?!
5. TRUFF Hot Sauce
Price: from AU$32.95
We’re not ones to say “da bomb” but there’s no other way to describe this truffle-infused hot sauce. Add it to your savoury dish of choice and prepare for a flavour experience like no other. Yum.
6. GoPro HERO12 Black
Price: from AU$649.95
GoPro’s HERO Black range is a great thing that keeps getting greater. Now in its 12th generation, the popular action camera offers best-in-class image quality, 4K video resolution, HyperSmooth stabilisation, an expansive field of view, and other choice specs. Thanks to an upgraded power management system, users also get improved temperature control and longer runtimes.
7. Fluance RT81 Elite High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable
Price: from AU$400
If Dad is thinking about getting into vinyl (and he should because it rules), Fluance’s RT81 Elite Turntable makes for a perfect point of entry and a decor-boosting one at that. Equal parts sleek and robust, it features an internal pre-amp and an array of premium components to offer easy set-up and superior performance for years to come. The price is definitely right so don’t hesitate to grab this one as we approach Father’s Day. An entirely new mode of music enjoyment awaits.
8. Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Select Bourbon
Price: from AU$97
Two high-rye Kentucky bourbons of four years and seven years (respectively) came together to form this classic whiskey. It opens on a nose of spicy rye and cinnamon before rolling over the palate in waves of caramel, butter, and tart cherry. We get more tangy fruit at the finish, followed by hints of burnt sugar and clove. You should be thirsty right about now.
9. Sonos Ace Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
Price: from AU$699
Sonos delivers a masterclass in modern performance with its Ace Over-Ear Headphones. Top-shelf engineering and Active Noise Cancellation dial up the immersion while ergonomic comfort, sleek style, and long-lasting performance round out the experience. Enjoy them wirelessly for up to 30 hours at a time or take advantage of the USB-C and 3.5mm cable options.
10. Uniqlo AIRism Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt
Price: from AU$19.90
Is Dad the active type? Then we have just the tee for him. Developed by Uniqlo in partnership with cutting-edge material manufacturer Toray, it combines AIRism fabric with cotton construction and a touch of stretch to offer the best in comfort and performance alike. At under $20, this one’s a steal.
11. H24 Herbes Vives Eau de Parfum
Price: from AU$157
Hermès in-house perfumer Christine Nagel created H24 Herbes Vives Eau de Parfum as a testament to modern man. Aromas of fresh herbs and pear granita intermingle with high-tech Physcool molecules to render a zesty olfactory impression that’s been described as “rediscovering urban nature after the rain.” One or two light spritzes and you’re ready to roll.
12. Hamilton American Classic Boulton Watch
Price: from AU$1,200
If it’s good enough for Indiana Jones, it’s good enough for Dad. Originally released in the 1940s, the Boulton is a timepiece that oozes affordable luxury and heritage. This particular model, which appears on the wrist of Harrison Ford’s famed treasure in the new film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, has been subtly adapted to suit modern wearers. It features slightly larger proportions along with an updated leather strap and steel case; however, it maintains the distinctive cushion shape and Art Deco aesthetic. Best of all, the Hamilton Boulton is priced at just USD$695, not bad for a piece of watch (and film) history.
13. Bellroy Tokyo Totepack Compact Backpack
Price: from AU$259
Bellroy’s Tokyo Totepack Compact Backpack is a product of perfect proportions that scales ample room and pocket space down to size. Crafted from 100% recycled, water-resistant woven fabric, it migrates from tote to backpack (and vice versa) depending on your carry needs and looks downright handsome in the process. Features include padded shoulder straps, a 13″ padded laptop sleeve with zip guard protection, mesh grab handles, and more.
14. Twelve South AirFly Pro
Price: from AU$109.95
The world becomes wireless with an AirFly Pro at your disposal. This pocket-sized adapter plugs into traditional headphone jacks to function as a Bluetooth transmitter, allowing you to use wireless headphones at places like the gym or on a plane for up to 25 hours at a time. It can also relay audio from your iPhone to the AUX IN connection in rental cars so that you can stream music or follow map directions without syncing your entire digital ecosystem.
15. Apple Watch Series 9
Price: from AU$649
The latest Apple Watch comes available in aluminium or stainless steel and lasts for up to 36 hours at a time (in low-power mode). As smart as it is stylish, the wearable gadget tracks health metrics with vital accuracy and ultra-sharp resolution, which isn’t to mention its host of additional functions and features. Strap up, baby.
16. Flint & Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Jacket
Price: from AU$500
As worn by actor Pedro Pascal in the smash series The Last of Us, this flannel-lined waxed jacket will have you or your dad looking damn good during the zombie apocalypse (or, you know, during everyday activity). It’s cut from weather-resistant Martexin sailcloth and fully lined with 100% polyester striped blanket lining for the best in comfort and performance alike.
17. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
Price: from AU$399
AirPods Pro squeezes massive performance into a compact framework and for that, we love it. Resistant to dust and sweat, the iconic earbud offers Adaptive Audio and other immersive features for up to 6 hours per wireless charge. This is what we like to call a gift that sells itself.
18. Mr Muk Brutal Mud
Price: from AU$30.95
Bolster your grooming arsenal with this low-sheen, brutal-hold mud from Mr Muk. It targets urban adventurers and modern explorers who need a hair product that can keep pace with their active lifestyles. Expect a consistent texture and a humidity-resistant formula that stays the course but also washes out with ease.
19. Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus
Price: from AU$2,500

The second edition of their legendary flip-case wallet features a slim hardshell exterior, built-in RFID protection, and dual magnetic trapdoors, among other things. Enjoy the kind of advanced security and access that only this brilliant product can provide.
Things to Consider for Father’s Day Gifts
If you are looking to make Father’s Day extra special this year, there are a number of key considerations you need to keep front of mind. While it would be great to shower Dad with gifts all year round, we understand that certain surprises are best left for special occasions. Here is what you need to think about when buying gifts for Dad.
- Price – The most important factor in your purchasing decision, the price will play a pivotal role in determining what gift Dad receives. We’d all love to drop a few thousand dollars on a new TV or car, but the reality is, not many people have the funds to make that happen. We recommend opting for a gift that lands in the $100-$200 mark, as that is the sweet spot for most brands. Obviously, you could go above or below this, but there’s no need to bankrupt yourself in the process.
- Availability – Timing is everything. With Father’s Day arriving on the third Sunday of June, it’s important you get your gifts in early. With shipping delays still wreaking havoc on the international market, make sure you’re in the purchasing mood at least one week out from Father’s Day. This way, you can be sure the gift Dad receives actually comes on time.
- Interests – Is Dad a golfer? Looking for gifts for tech dads? When it comes to buying a present that Dad will actually enjoy, it’s worth getting the rundown on his hobbies. You might find that he’s been harbouring secret plans to improve his short game, learn to paint or just take some time off.
