Spoil Dad this Father's Day with these simple gift ideas
When that special father figure tells you not to worry about getting them anything for Father’s Day, they don’t usually mean it. Make his day with a thoughtful, fun and creative gift made (or customised) with love. Whether you’ve got the time to craft a unique DIY gift from scratch or you’re looking for convenient ways to add a personal touch to something, we've got you covered.
01
Make his favourite treats
If you’ve got a bit more time and you’re a whiz in the kitchen, he’ll love an adorable hamper filler with delicious homemade treats. Why not try these recipes for candied beer nuts or rocky road chocolate bark for something to snack on? If he’s a grilling enthusiast, then cherry barbecue sauce or brown sugar and chilli rub will definitely impress.

Gift a DIY hamper
Create a custom gift hamper with his favourite snacks and interests to save you a bit of time and still surprise him with the things he loves most. We recommend zingy wasabi peas for those who like a flavour punch, or indulgent caramel slice for those with a sweet tooth.

Decorate a cake
Transform a classic Woolworths mud cake into a stunning creation for Dad’s special day with frosting and creative flourishes. It’s a fuss-free way for getting the kids involved (although a little messy) and sure to bring a smile to Dad’s face.
