Life is busy and it tends to run away with us. This serves as a reminder that Sunday, 18 June is Father’s Day and there is still time to get your dad that special gift to show him that he’s loved.
We’ve taken the liberty of compiling a list of last-minute gifts for Father’s Day. Ultimately, these gifts are easy to find, quick to wrap (or don’t need wrapping at all) and they’re sure to make Dad feel special.
Is your dad a foodie and does he enjoy spending time in the kitchen? Oh My Cake! and Heron Bridge College is hosting a special “Dads and Kids Baking Bootcamp” on Father’s Day weekend, with the event taking place on Saturday, 17 June 2023. Kids between the ages of four and ten are welcome and of course, they will need their dads there to supervise. Ultimately, this is the perfect opportunity for fathers and their children to spend some quality time together.
For R100 per child, families will get a sneak peek into the Oh My Cake! Baking headquarters to decorate two cupcakes from their oh-so-delish selection. Book your 45-minute session online and arrive twenty minutes ahead of time to indulge in a hot beverage before getting started.
You’ll find the Oh My Cake! store at the Woolworths entrance at Joburg’s Cedar Square Shopping Centre.
P.S. If you can’t make the Baking Bootcamp, you can always order dad a Father’s Day cupcake at R45 per cupcake.
Handmade with a soft, durable leather, Baskiti‘s larger-than-the-norm toiletry bag is perfect for dads. It comes with a waterproof liner and a YKK zip, making it tough, yet pretty. Finally, dad can have his own bag big enough for his beard oil, comb and toothbrush!
During a very special Dad’s and Lad’s event earlier this month, GUESS unveiled its latest fragrance. The coveted UOMO Acqua transports any man in our midst (and those catching a whiff as he walks past) from the barbershop to a splash in the Mediterranean Sea.
Get dad the PJs he deserves from Woolies. In fact, you can even get some matching Father’s Day Twinning PJ sets for those cosy movie nights! Pair it with some Chuckles® Malted Puffs in Milk Chocolate Slab and BESTIES™ Favourites Sweet Treats to put an even broader smile on Dad’s face!
Who doesn’t desire a gift from Louis Vuitton at some point in their life? Why not make this year’s Father’s Day super special with a coveted gift from this iconic brand? Surely, between leather goods, modern ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes and fragrances, there will be something suited to your dad’s taste. We are currently loving their LV Signature sunglasses for men – a new collection that was recently launched. In essence, the collection is timeless and universally flattering and it is crafted in lightweight materials with subtle, but recognisable details. Pay a visit to one of their stores or check out the Father’s Day favourites online.
