Last Updated: 23 May 2018

You may think it’s easy getting a gift for pops. Some cigars, slippers, perhaps a new golf shirt. WRONG! Dad is fickle. Underneath his crow’s feet and receding hairline lives a man who wants more from his kids, other than the average gift. And that’s what we’re here to assist you with come Father's Day. Without further delay, we present our dad-tastic list of great Father’s Day gifts:

Treat your pops to some excellent brewed coffee from Cape Town’s award-winning coffee showroom
Being a father can be a stressful job, but luckily there’s very little that a delicious cup of coffee can’t fix. Mischu, the popular coffee showroom in Sea Point, invites you to buy their Isabella blend coffee beans and capsules in their store, and online. Don’t give dad the boring old slippers, but rather something he can enjoy – like coffee. And save on it too by getting 30% off coffee capsules on Mischu’s online store.

Celestial Gifts
Men are begging for better Father’s Day gifts. They want their loved ones to think out of the box a bit. Why not surprise your partner or father with the Champagne Sunset Picnic Cruise for Two by gift experiences company Celestial Gifts. The 90 minute cruise includes a trip on a beautiful catamaran with champagne and a picnic off Clifton beach, where guests can cuddle up and enjoy their picnic while taking in the exquisite coastal scenery splashed by the sunset colours of dusk. This experience comes with concierge service.

Darling Sweet Toffees 
Treat your pops to a sweetie or two from Darling Sweet’s variety of handcrafted toffees. The wide range of flavours are bound to delight your old man. Let the paternal palate be pleased with flavours like the Bird’s Eye Chili, Red Wine and Chocolate, and Coffee Toffee. Make sure you stock up on all the flavours, some of which include, the Ormonde Wine, Liquorice, Tannie Evita’s Classic, Honey & Salt, Orange & Cranberry, and Mint. The toffees are handcrafted using traditional methods, guaranteeing no artificial colourants, preservatives and flavourings. You’ll be thrilled to know you can also purchase toffee spreads to give dad a proper toffee-inspired gift basket. 

Cigars
Give your dad a classic gift from one of the prime cigar lounges around our lovely Mother City, and have him puffing away with a glass of whisky to accompany it. Visit any of the Cape’s cigar lounges and get a fabulous selection of local cigars, or treat your father to an array of international favourites. We suggest you ask each place you visit for a special one and build your old man a custom cigar collection. This will also make it easier for you when the next Father’s Day rolls around – you’ll already be sorted when it comes to gifts (sneaky but genius wouldn’t you say?).



Table Mountain Chocolate
He will try and pretend that he doesn’t love chocolate as much as the “youths”, but lets face it your old man craves that sugary delight more than you do after dinner. So treat him by giving him a bite of the Mother City… literally! Buy a couple of Table Mountain- shaped chocolates and enjoy the childlike smile that pops onto his face! Pair your Father’s Day gift with this present and you’ll have hit a homerun this year! 

Crystal Whisky Glasses
For the sophisticated drinker, whisky has long held mystical powers. Why not use this Father’s Day as an occasion raise a glass with your old man at the end of a long day? The tinkling of ice cubes only makes sense emanating from Tidy & Co’s classic crystal glasses, merrily awaiting the golden ambrosia!

Wixworth is a classic London dry gin married with the flavours of South African to give it a taste of home. It is created with the finest botanicals, delicate floral flavours and spicy notes of Mzansi’s Renosterbos.
