Now that the easy days of picking up a hammer or a ‘World’s Best Dad’ mug at the school Father’s Day stall well behind us, we are left to search endless shops and websites for the perfect Father’s Day present.
With Dad’s day fast approaching, we’ve come up with a Rescu. gift guide so you’re not stuck sans gift this September 5.
For the new Dad
Smallprint
Smallprint produce fine silver jewellery, cufflinks and key rings that capture a child’s fingerprint to create a unique keepsake that Dad can cherish forever. We love the High Fives cufflinks that have a mini impression of your child’s hand imprinted into elegant silver cufflinks. You can choose from oval or square variety and can have them made double sided with different stamps. Too cute!
To order, head to www.smallp.com.au High Five cufflinks (start at $240.00)
For the obsessive groomer
VS Sassoon i-trim stubble + Facial Groomer
Achieving sexy subtle stubble wasn’t always as easy as Jake Gyllenhaal makes it look. But all that is about to change with VS Sassoon’s i-trim. This innovative trimmer offers an incredible 44 new cutting length settings as well as an interchangeable foil shaver attachment to deliver a clean, sharp edge to his stubble.
New technology ensures Dad won’t suffer uneven, patchy results and the one touch control allows perfect precision.

For the man who cares for his hair
Kerastase Homme Collection for Men
It’s no secret that most men care a lot more about their hair than they let on.
Kerastase have identified Men’s hair care concerns such as oiliness, dandruff and thinning and used new technology to create daily programs that target individual needs. Including a shampoo and leave-in treatment, these products target key concerns and work to deliver results.
Get this to save Dad from admitting to his hair concerns aloud!
Available from Kerastase Paris Consultant Salons. Visit www.kerastase.com.au for full stockist details. (Shampoo $29.50, Treatment $38.50)
For the family Man
My Dad’s Got Mojo by Gary Bertwistle
Gary Bertwistle is the co-founder of the Tour De Cure, an annual bike ride aimed to raise awareness and money for cancer research. He has now released a book which is essentially a ‘Dad development guide’, showing fathers how to set the right tone, example and environment for their kids.
This practical parenting guide is aimed at regular guys who want to be the best dad they can be. It is refreshing to see a parenting book for Dads, rather than the typical guide aimed at Mums.
Available through Wiley Publishers at all good bookstores ($29.95)
For the father with everything
Beer Cartel
Australian online retailer Beer Cartel has a range of gifts for any budget. If your Dad is a total beer aficionado, we suggest you check out the incredible Deluxe Beer Hamper which features seven different beers, two Italian made beer glasses, tasting notes and a book on Australia’s craft beer brewers, all packaged in a rustic wooden box. ($119.00)
There is so much to choose from on the Beer Cartel site, you’re sure to find something special for the Dad who has everything.
Head to www.beercartel.com.au to find the perfect gift.

One of our favourite brands, Witchery, recently took the plunge into menswear and we couldn’t be happier with the results. This just launched watch is testament to Witchery’s classic, sophisticated style. The 100% stainless steel Japanese movement watch is an elegant gift for any stylish Dad.
