7. Boston B-450 450 Hardwood Pellet Smoker From Appliances Online
WHY WE LOVE IT: It’s perfect for dads that like to cook up a storm
If Dad’s a bit of a barbecue buff, holy smoke, he’ll hands down love this awesome gift. The Boston B-450 450 Hardwood Pellet Smoker will have him smoking beef brisket, ribs and all manner of meats in next to no time. Perfect for the dad who already has most cool cooking gadgets, this is a serious step up and is sure to turn him into the ultimate smoked-meat master.
The Boston B450 Pellet Smoker uses hardwood pellets to give food a subtle wood-fired flavour and the large 6.8kg automatic pellet feed means there’s no running out of smoke partway through cooking. The cooking barrel itself is designed to lock in moisture for deliciously juicy meats and that delicious smokehouse flavour.
With a digital temperature range from 82-232 degrees, Dad can smoke meat at a higher temperature while mastering the art of cold-smoking cheese, nuts and butter at the lower temperature. Also comes with a heavy-duty cover, to keep the smoker looking schmick, and folding front shelf for all Dad’s handy utensils.
8. Byron Bay Cookies

These blissful morsels of deliciousness are baked to perfection in the heart of Byron Bay. The perfect addition to Dad’s lunchbox and an ideal bite to accompany a cuppa, Byron Bay Cookies are made using only the very best ingredients.
These Byron Bay Cookies Special Edition Assorted Gift Tins (200g) contain a mix of yummy cookies. There’s the Peacock Tin, containing Triple Choc and Lemon Macadamia cookie bites, the Flamingo Tin with White Choc Macadamia and Triple Choc and the Cockatoo Tin, containing Rocky Road and Dotty. With each bite, Dad will be reminded just how much he’s appreciated and, if you’re lucky, he might even share the love!
The keepsake tins feature beautiful illustrations of brightly-coloured birds. So once all the bite-sized cookies have been devoured (believe me, it won’t take long!) Dad can use the tin to keep his loose change, spare batteries or buttons in.
9. Matching swimmers for Dad and his ‘mini me’
WHY WE LOVE THESE: Great for the sentimental or stylish beach dad
Aussie swimwear brand Infamous Swim has just extended its range to include super cute matching swimmers for men and their mini-mes. Who says #twinning is only for women?

Sure to capture Dad’s heart, there’s also a range of matching kids’ swimmers for boys and girls. Hey, why not deck out the entire family in a new pair of swimmers to celebrate Father’s Day (there are bikinis and one-pieces for you too, Mum)!
10. Make it Personal at Bunnings
WHY WE LOVE IT: Perfect for the DIY dad, or not so DIY dad, Bunnings has something for everyone!
It wouldn’t be a Father’s Day gift guide if we didn’t include the classic Bunnings gift card. We especially love the idea of getting a personalised gift card – one that includes a photo or special message. You can order them online, have them delivered to your door and redeem at any Bunnings store across Australia. Too easy and too cute!
