Father's Day is creeping up (first Sunday of September, mark it in the calendar), and if you're anything like us, the search for a Father's Day gift he'll actually use starts right about now. At Pookipoiga, we've pulled together a lineup of thoughtful gifts for dad that are practical, a little bit cheeky, and kind to the planet - plus, if you're in Melbourne, same-day delivery means you can sort it without the last-minute panic.

Here's our pick of the bunch.

For the Handy Dad

If your dad's the type who's always fixing something, the Gentlemen's Hardware Survival Multi Tool Kit is built for him - compact, rugged, and ready for whatever the weekend throws at it. Cyclists in the family will get just as much use from the Gentlemen's Hardware Bicycle Repair Kit, while the Gentlemen's Hardware Hammer Multi-Tool covers the odd jobs around the house. All three are the kind of gift that gets used constantly, not shoved in a drawer.

For the Dad Who Likes to Unwind

Not every dad wants a toolkit. For the ones who'd rather kick back, the Gentlemen's Hardware Hip Flask is a classic for a reason, and it pairs nicely with something from our chocolate or tea range if you want to build it into a bigger hamper. For grooming, the Gentlemen's Hardware Close Shave Kit and the Brush It On Reusable Safety Razor swap disposable plastic razors for something he'll keep for years. Add the Hunter Lab Charcoal Cleansing Kit, a Summer Salt Body Essential Oil Roller, or the Valor Shaving Soap and Pit Stop Mini for a proper little pamper kit, minus the fuss.

Finishing touch: Solid State for Men Supreme Cologne - a cologne that doesn't smell like every other cologne.

For the Dad With a Sense of Humour

If your dad's more "world's okayest golfer" than sentimental card, our Blue Q range has him covered - think tea towels and socks with a wink, like the Blue Q Butthead of the Household Men's Socks. Pair it with the Rad Dad Seed Card - a plantable, recycled paper card that grows into flowers once he's done reading it - for a gift that's genuinely funny and genuinely zero-waste.

For the Dad Who Loves a Good Pair of Socks

Socks get a bad rap as a boring gift, but ours pull their weight. The Conscious Step Socks that Protect Tropical Rainforests fund real rainforest conservation with every pair, the Otto and Spike Mondriano Australian Cotton Socks are locally made and built to last, and the Tightology Tevere Long Socks bring a touch of patterned style to the drawer - a small swap that quietly does more good than it looks like.

For the Dad Who Loves a Good Drink

For the dad who enjoys a good drink, whether he's into mixing cocktails or relaxing with a glass of wine, we've got a few thoughtful options. The Gentlemen's Hardware Bartender's Cocktail Shaker is a fun addition to his home bar, while the King Valley Prosecco makes an easy celebratory gift. The Cheese and Wine Tool and Cheese Board and Knife Set with Wine Opener are ideal for pairing wine with cheese and nibbles - or mix and match to build a gift he'll genuinely enjoy.

For the Dad Who Loves to Cook

For the dad who's always at the barbecue or setting out a spread for guests, the Gentlemen's Hardware Portable Stainless Steel BBQ folds out from a neat suitcase-style case into a full grill and coal tray - ideal for camping trips, picnics, or firing up wherever he fancies. Pair it with the Upcycled Bottle Art Wine Bottle Platter & Cheese Board and matching Dip Dish, both handmade from repurposed glass bottles, for laying out nibbles once the grilling's done.

Build Your Own Father's Day Hamper

Can't land on just one thing? That's what we're here for. Mix and match any of the above - say, the hip flask, a cologne, and a funny pair of socks - and we'll put it together as a hamper.

Browse our full Father's Day collection or the full Gifts for Him range get in touch and we'll build one for him. It's an easy way to give a gift that feels considered without the stress of picking the "perfect" single item.
