How to make a D.I.Y. star tree
It’s the one day of the year that’s all about dads, and yours deserves something special. Whether you’ve got a big budget or the belt is a little tighter, here’s the easy way to nail the present dilemma. This Father’s Day gift guide is stacked with unique Father's Day gifts and practical ideas for any budget, from our top buys under $20 and under $50 to great gifts for Dad under $100 and over $100.
With Father's Day at the start of BBQ season, grabbing a grill-friendly gift is a no-brainer. Help Dad retire his charred old tools with a sturdy set made to flip, fork and flame up a feast. The easy-to-clean stainless steel trio has comfort-grip handles, a spatula that scrapes down the hotplate and a built-in bottle opener.
Forget FOMO, now it’s nomophobia we’re feeling as we watch the phone battery percentage get way too close to zero. That makes this a pocket-sized gift of peace of mind for Dad or Grandpa, and you can’t put a price on that. Use it to top up one or two devices on the go, then recharge it via Micro USB or USB-C (cable not included).
Meguiar’s 700 x 400mm Supreme Shine Drying Towel
Car lovers know that a good towel protects your budget from the pain of a paint correction, so this gift punches above its weight on wash day. The thick, plush microfibre with satin edging lifts and traps grime rather than dragging it across the paintwork, helping avoid the fine swirls an ordinary chamois can leave. It also absorbs up to three times more water than a terry towel, for faster drying with less wringing.Keep the family fun alive beyond Father’s Day – this great-value gift will get Dad ready for weekend gardening with kids of all ages. Even if all that youthful energy doesn’t rub off, his hands won’t tire easily with these hedge shears, thanks to the non-slip grips and rubber shock absorbers. Gentle on green stems, the bypass pruner works well for shaping shrubs and light garden tidy-ups.
Ryobi 18V ONE+ Drill Driver Starter Kit
Every dad's toolkit needs a drill driver – it’s the best-value way into picture hanging, flat pack assembly and other D.I.Y. projects. A big step up from a hand-held screwdriver, this beginner-proof cordless kit drills pilot holes and drives screws in seconds, with no sore hands or extension-cable headaches. It's lightweight, has a built-in LED for dark corners, and starts Dad's Ryobi ONE+ collection so future tools share the one long-lasting battery.
Blink 2K Wired Indoor Mini Security Cameras
Your favourite dog dad has probably wondered what his best mate gets up to when he's home alone. These smart security cameras let him check in from anywhere, catch the couch invader in crisp 2K video and say a firm "off" through two-way audio. They plug in and set up in minutes, with no drilling or wiring.Jumbuck Charcoal Drum BBQ and Smoker
Whether Dad already sees himself as a serious outdoor chef or needs a delicious new hobby, this gift sends all the right smoke signals. The multi-functional drum design suits smaller spaces and means it can even come along on camping trips. With heaps of BBQ and smoker tips and ideas to get him started, you’re all in for a flavour-packed season of juicy, smoky goodness.
Ryobi 18V ONE+ 37cm HP Brushless Lawn Mower 4.0Ah Kit
Introduce the family’s lawn mowing pro to the cordless mower. With a push-button start, no pull cord, no fumes and quiet enough for early starts, it’s the kind that keeps Dad happily in charge of the lawn. Easy to store and carry, this kit is a whiz on smaller lawns – for larger ones, it has a battery bay for a spare, so you’re all set for summer lawn care. And because every tool runs on the one fast-charging battery, the more excuses he has to grow his Ryobi ONE+ collection, the better.
