With Father’s Day just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to spoil Dad rotten. Because God knows he deserves it…
But the burning question is what to get the guy that’s simply happy with a Bunning’s voucher (and a snag)? Well, we’ve taken the liberty of doing the groundwork, curating a list of this season’s hottest items that Dad will come to love and adore no matter the occasion.
Read on for the 2019 Man of Style Father’s Day gift guide.
Something handy
July Luggage
As your Dad ventures into the next phase of his life, we’re sure he’ll get great use out of one of these carry on or checked luggage pieces by July. Perfect for short or long haul flights, July utilise luggage space effectively, with a range of compartments set to make travelling all the more easier. We not only love July for its considered design and effortless style but the best bit: its hidden power pack, so you’re phone or iPad will never run out of juice when you need it most (Netflix is a handy pastime during delayed flights, folks.)
If placing an order before Father’s Day, Dad will score a complimentary Father’s Day Gift Pack, including a hand-written card and two packs of Coffee Supreme Instant Colombia.

Something stylish
Luca Faloni Cashmere Knit
Knitted in Italy with a quality two-ply pure cashmere from Cariaggi – weavers of the best cashmere in the world – the cashmere cable knit by Luca Faloni is a timeless staple item fit for any Dad’s wardrobe. This knit is designed with a refined textured pattern that is not only stylish but allows you to dress it up or down, no matter the occasion. And thanks to the insulating property of cashmere, you can wear it from Autumn to Spring.
Luxuriously soft, lightweight yet durable, don’t blame us if you find Dad wearing this knit all the time!

Something nice
Jo Malone London
Jo Malone London are leaders of the gentlemanly scent, curating unique fragrances since 1983. Not only are we fans of the Jo Malone London brand ourselves, but we think that Dad will love these scents so much, it’ll become a part of his daily grooming repertoire for years to come.
For something warm, woody and slightly spicy, try English Oak & Hazelnut cologne. Its blend of green hazelnut, cedarwood and roasted wood produce an addictive note that is perfect for both day and night activities. For something a little darker, the Dark Amber & Ginger Lily cologne is spectacular. Fresh, full-bodied and bold, it features a blend of black cardamom, black orchid and kyara incense. What results is a smoky and seductive scent that captures the essence of the evening. Mix the two scents together for something truly unique.

Something sentimental
Serica W.W.W. William Brown Edition
A gift that holds true sentimental value, this unique timepiece by Serica takes inspiration from the classic military field watches of yesteryear. Moreover, it’s an instrument that will follow Dad everywhere he goes for years to come.
Serica is a collaboration between the guys behind Les Rhabilleurs (a French watch blog) and The WM Brown Project, which is the brainchild of Matt Hranek – a fashion, lifestyle and watch blogger.
This timepiece comes together beautifully, offering a nostalgic and rugged feel that we’re sure Dad will appreciate. It’s full mil-spec, featuring a nice 37.7mm steel case, an ETA 2801-2 movement with a 42-hour power reserve, a domed hardened mineral crystal case, and your choice of dial colour (black or white), hands (Broad Arrow or a more simple Alpha handset), straps (tan or black), among other thoughtful features.
The W.W.W. WMB edition is priced at $540 USD, which is a fantastic price point considering the watch at hand.

Something loud
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1
This portable speaker may look small but boy can looks be deceiving. Packing an absolute punch well beyond its weight and size, the Beoplay A1 offers jaw-dropping sound in a cute, compact Bluetooth speaker design with up to 24-hours of playback. And thanks to its True360 sound, the Beoplay A1 ensures a balanced dispersion of music from wherever you put it, with a peak power of 2×140 Watts.
Whether your Dad is an audiophile or just appreciates a good tune, this portable speaker is designed to be used in everyday life. Thanks to its splash and dust proofing, Dad can use it outside in the garden or hang it up in the kitchen when (or *if) cooking; the choice is yours!
Available in a range of colours, this will prove one of Dad’s new favourite toys; we guarantee it!

Something special
2015 Penfolds Grange
Not the ordinary gift but one sure to make an impact on Dad, a bottle of 2015 Penfolds Grange goes well beyond the apparent; it’s not just a bottle of wine but a memory waiting to be made.
2015 Grange is not only the 65th consecutive release of Grange and arguably one of Australia’s most celebrated wines, but it was awarded a perfect 100 point score by Andrew Caillard MW – a truly impressive feat, and not just by Penfolds’ standards.
If Grange is slightly out of budget, be sure to check out the 2019 Penfolds collection; a formidable group of fine wines that embody a distinct character, quality and provenance, synonymous to the Penfolds brand.
