21 Best Father’s Day Gifts: Presents That Your Dad Will Actually Use

Father’s Day in Australia is closing in fast, and if you’re still empty-handed, you’re certainly not alone. Now’s the time to sort something properly impressive that your old man will actually use this year. Forget the cliché socks and BBQ aprons; he has enough.
This year’s best Father’s Day gifts are the kind of things that will give him more joy than Sunday arvo in the lounge; more happiness than a Bunnings sale. We’re looking at a slick new ASUS Zenbook for the workaholic, an AI-powered Philips i9000 Prestige Toolkit for the dad who takes his grooming seriously, Nike’s Metcon 10s for the gym rat, and a bottle of 1800 Añejo for the man who knows his way around the bar cart.
We’ve pulled together the ultimate Father’s Day Buyer’s Guide for Australians who want their gifts to land. Practical, stylish, and guaranteed not to end up gathering dust. Don’t just tick the box, give him something he’ll use, enjoy and cherish. This is how you win Father’s Day 2025.
Work, life, and Netflix, Dad juggles it all, usually on outdated tech that should have found its way into the skip (or safely recycled) months ago.
The ASUS Zenbook changes that. It’s sleek, impossibly light, and powerful enough to keep up with everything he throws at it. Whether he’s running spreadsheets, editing photos, or streaming the footy highlights, this laptop is a powerhouse of performance at a fraction of the weight. ASUS has built a reputation for pairing design with performance, and the Zenbook is its flagship expression of it.
The Rugby World Cup is the peak of international rugby, where the best nations collide and legends are made. With official hospitality through Rugby World Cup Experiences, Dad doesn’t queue for a seat and a pie, he steps straight into world-class dining, premium seating, and travel packages that turn a match into a lasting memory.
From the Women’s World Cup in 2025 to the Men’s in 2027 and beyond, this is how you gift a Wallabies fan rugby at its highest level. For the father who loves the game, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Made from a premium Australian wool blend with performance stretch, Van Heusen’s premium collection keeps up with meetings, school pickups, and the occasional dad-dance at parties, all without sacrificing style. That’s Father’s Day, sorted.
Acqua di Parma has been bottling Italian elegance since 1916, and Buongiorno is their ode to mornings done properly.
It’s arguably my most used fragrance in current rotation, with big hits of citrus, herbs, and breezy freshness that transports you to a sunlit terrace in the Amalfi. For the dad who values the ritual of a crisp shirt, a strong espresso, and a moment of calm before the day, Buongiorno is the final detail.
This is not a razor. This is a grooming system designed to make every shave feel like a spa treatment.
The Philips’ i9000 Prestige Ultra uses AI-driven skin sensors and nano-sharpened blades to adjust in real time, giving Dad a shave that’s closer, smoother, and kinder to his skin. The wireless charging stand looks as good as the tool itself, which is why this belongs on the bathroom counter, not hidden in a drawer. For the dad who thinks grooming is part of the uniform, this is the Rolls-Royce of shavers.
Breitling has been making watches that demand attention since 1884, and the CHRONOMAT B01 Chronograph 42 is certainly no exception.

It’s $16,000 of pure confidence; one that’s loud, proud, and unapologetically Breitling.
Tequila has grown up, and so has Dad. 1800 Añejo is a world away from the shots of his youth.
