Gift Ideas for Father's Day

Goat of Bespoke Personalised Tailoring

Goat of Bespoke Gift Idea for Dad

This one is for the corporate dad, or dads who appreciate a tailored suit, shirt, trouser or waistcoat. Goat of Bespoke is well-known for dressing some of the best athletes and celebrities in South Africa. In addition, this is the kind of gift that will last for more than just a season. Why not get your dad a voucher? 

Cheers to you, Dad!

Although it is difficult to find your dad the perfect gift, a special drink to celebrate him will always be a winner! For the dad who loves his tipple, we recommend the Amazing Grace, also known as ‘The Memory Maker’. The story behind this wine makes it the perfect Father’s Day gift, serving as proof that you cherish your dad.

For the traditional dads, why not gift him with a bottle from one of the oldest continuously operating whiskey distilleries in the United States, Buffalo Trace? 

Cool Kicks for Dad

Celebrate Dad with adidas

On 23 May, the fourth adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich collection was launched.

The latest adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich collection sees the brand’s founder, Emily Oberg, turn her creative eye to a bonafide terrace classic, reimagining the Handball Spezial in three pastelle colourways. Each pair features a suede upper, with leather stripes and a leather heel mustache, as well as gold foil ‘Sporty & Rich’ branding. Of course, it also arrives packaged in a custom box.
