Shop Local This Father's Day
 
It’s that time of year again, Father’s Day is just around the corner! 

Are you scratching your brain for ideas of what to buy Dad? It’s no secret that Dads can be some of the hardest people to buy for, we’ve all been there.

Luckily we’ve got a list of local Perth Upmarket creatives with a huge range of products perfect for all the different Dads out there. Whether you consider your dad the “Foodie” Dad, the “Footy” Dad, or the Dad who “already has everything”, we’ve got some brilliant ideas for how to treat dear old Dad to some original and exciting gifts.

Ditch the old go-to “socks and jocks” gift and surprise Dad with something he won’t be expecting, all while supporting local businesses.
 

For the “Foodie” Dad
 
If a sure-fire way to Dad’s heart is through his stomach, you won’t be lost for ideas with these options. Gift Dad some premium culinary ingredients like the black garlic and cherry paste or aged black garlic and balsamic vinegar from Black Garlic and Co, or some handcrafted curry blends and sauces from Ceylon Spice Heaven. You could also spoil Dad with some Smoked Onion Marmalade or Bread and Butter Pickles from The Mulberry Pig. If your Dad appreciates quality food products, be sure to gift him some of Nectar Ridge’s award-winning organic honey.
 
If you’re stuck on which product to buy, we suggest selecting a few and bundle them together - is there anyone who doesn’t love a hamper full of appetising, gourmet snacks and delectable treats?
 
Even better, you’ll be supporting local small businesses when purchasing any of these products.
 

For the Dad who “likes to indulge”
 
This one is for the Dads out there with a sweet tooth and a taste for indulgent treats. Perth Brittle co has a great variety of cracking brittle and we think there are a few flavours that the Dads out there would love, like Trail Mix brittle or Spiced Maple Pecan brittle. If you want to give Dad something really delectable, place an order with Fudge Affairs for a batch of rich handmade fudge.
If your Dad is the kind of guy who appreciates the aromatics of a great locally handcrafted gin, check out Amber Ches Distillery and Sin Gin Distillery.

Amber Ches Distillery are currently doing gift boxes where you can select 3 different flavoured bottles.

Heads up! The creators at Sin Gin Distillery have recently come out with a Spicy Gin which combines Australian mountain pepper berries bitter orange, cubeb pepper and sansho.

For the “Footy” Dad
 
We know a few Dads out there who are the ultimate footy fans. If that includes your Dad, check out Rolla Games’ Mad for Footy board game! We’re thinking this could be Dad’s most favourite board game to date. Score as many points as possible for your team, develop footy smarts, and “learn the values of Australia’s great game” whilst making memorable moments with family, friends and of course, Dad. 
 
It might be the game that Dad actually wins every time, talk about a gift that keeps on giving.
For the “On Trend” Dad
 
Looking for a classy gift for Dad this Father’s Day? John Taylor Watches is the definition of minimalist and effortless style - these watches are sure to elevate Dad’s wardrobe.
 
On the other hand, you might be interested in gifting Dad something classy, but also distinctive. Hello Mr Badger creates accessories that encourage individualism, with each piece of their collection being completely unique. The handmade time-piece cufflinks by Hello Mr Badger are the perfect gift.
For the Health Conscious Dad
 
If your Dad is the kind of Dad who enjoys trying out new healthy and nutritious foods, we recommend gifting your Dad some of The Natural Food Emporium’s goodies. These local artisans have a huge range of wholesome breakfast cereals, flours, and “make at home” mixes, described as “gluten free scrumptiousness”. Help Dad achieve his health goals by fueling his body with The Natural Food Emporium.
We believe more Dads should enjoy some R&R and treat themselves - Dad style! Imagine this, Dad puts on some Bourbon and Vanilla beard balm after using the all-inclusive Shaving Kit from Hairy Man Care. He then uses the Witherspoons’ Working Hands scrub to restore moisture to his hands, all while burning the delicious Cognac and Cubans Soy candle from Esencias.
 
Hairy Man Care are also doing a great 22% off for Fathers Day (ends 31/08/2022).
For the Dad who “already has everything”
 
Last, but certainly not least, here are some unique and alternative gifts that are great for the Dad who already has everything.
 
For the Dad who loves to be in the kitchen, The Grainger Collective has some stunning, quality chopping boards, cheese knives, coasters and candles (or combine them all in a gift box). The Grainger Collective’s products are handcrafted and designed locally using mostly West Australian timber that showcases its beautiful grain and texture.

If you’re trying to think a little bit outside the box this Father’s Day, gift Dad something from Dirty Rat Lamps. They design and hand-make bespoke industrial-style lamps using retired instruments, pipes, and West Australian timber. Consider it the perfect present for Dad’s “man cave”. You can also request a custom burn-engraved message into the timber with a personalised message just for Dad.
Interested in giving Dad something else unique that he can display at home? Have a look at the creations from That Brick Pot Guy. These pots are cut from rocks so they take the shape of a stunning geode formation - each pot is definitely one of a kind. What’s a pot without a plant? Add a little greenery to contrast your rustic pot with a plant from The Home Plant co.

From the team at Perth Upmarket, we wish all the Dads a very Happy Father's Day!
