FATHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE | NORTHLANDS

Lifestyle

26 August 2025

With Father’s Day soon within reach, now is the time to think about how you’ll be showing the father figures in your life how you feel about them. Notoriously difficult to buy for, we reckon narrowing these legends into a few different categories might help get you started. Whether they’re sporty, arty, or just a kid at heart, check out our gifting suggestions below. While no mere present could ever truly thank the man you call Dad for the years of love and patience he’s given you, it surely couldn’t go amiss!

For the Sporty Dad

Try these sneakers (1) that blend the retro and the modern – a bit like him. Keep his footwear fresh with these specialty crep wipes (2) – something he never would have bought himself (and something he’ll soon learn he can’t do without). Or support his favourite team with a classic fan jersey (3). Just make sure he thanks you every time he wears it.

For the Arty Dad

Decorate his whare with a vintage-style canvas wall chart (4) of New Zealand. Or you can’t go wrong with a beautifully framed (5) picture of a favourite memory – perhaps the two of you.

For The Kid-At-Heart Dad

Make his arcade dreams come true with this epic retro claw machine (6). Maybe indulge his sweet tooth with these cheeky lollies (7). Test how ‘with it’ he really is with a hilarious generation trivia game (8). Or surprise him with his favourite character (besides yourself, of course) in glorious Pop! Vinyl (9).

For The Dad Who Looks After Himself (Or The One Who Needs To)

Help him keep his whiskers slick with this luxury beard wash (10). Or force him (we mean, encourage him) to tune up his self-care regimen with a specialised Skincare Set For Him (11).

For The Fashion Dad

Why not nab him an ultra-soft brushed-back fleece hoodie (12)? Perhaps grab the ultimate weekend companion cable knit (13). Or if he’s been sitting on a ratty old cardholder for a few years, upgrade him to a stylish black leather wallet (14).

For The Nature-Trail Dad

Help him go the distance with these all-terrain Challengers (15).  Or keep him hydrated with a Quencher Pro-Tour Flip Straw (16) from Stanley.

However you celebrate the dads and dad-like figures in your life this Father’s Day, make sure he knows how lucky he is to have you! And have a good one.
