Did you know it's Fathers Day this Sunday? Nope? Well now you do. Go get a gift. No, don't get a jar of chocolate-coated peanuts at the supermarket on the way to his place. We've got some easy and stylish deas that won't strain your wallet or make you look cheap and boring.
Robio in Melbourne have loads of cute things for a creative Dad, or one who needs a sartorial boost. How about a Beautiful Decay T-shirt. He'll impress his mates, and your Mum, with such T-shirt excellence. In Sydney, there's always
graniph in the Galleries Victoria. Their tees are cheap, from $28, so you can get him a few.
If you want something a little more safe. You can't go wrong with a bottle of nice smell, like Davidoff's new
Adventure $120 or Nautica's
Voyage $75
. Adventure has Scottish hottie Ewan MacGregor in the ad, so you'll bring him one step closer to being a Hollywood star. They have these at most pharmacies, so it's just a matter of jumping out of the car for a split second on your way to family time.
Does your Dad love gardening? Then
Via Alley in Sydney is your store. Check out their gold garden gnome. $70 and damn cute.
While he is in the garden, he probably wants to lie around and read the weekend papers. That's right, parents read papers. So get him a weekend subscription to The Age for $182 or the Sydney Morning Herald/ Sun Herald for $166. So much better than socks or jocks.
