Father’s Day Gift Guide: 5 Products You KNOW He Doesn’t Have, But Needs

Look, we get it; Father’s Day brings with it a lot of pressure. You want to get your dad something that says just how much you mean to him. But you’ve also left your shopping to the last minute (no judgment here, we all lead busy lives), which means you have limited time to find that perfect Father’s Day gift.

No worries, we’ve got your back! We’ve curated a special collection of local Father’s Day gifts to make dad feel truly appreciated on Sunday, 16 June. Along with our top picks, we’ve included a few exclusive deals to help you find the perfect present.

Ring Spotlight Cam Plus 

Price: R3,999

Ring has been delivering some fantastic home camera and security tech over the last few years, and the Amazon-owned company has introduced a new camera product into SA: the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus. What makes this weather-resistant camera different, though, is that it bundles (as the name suggests) a lighting solution and camera into one package. Furthermore, it’s wireless, so installation is extremely easy and intuitive. Whether it’s the 1080p wide-angle view, motion detecting spotlights, and accompanying app to customise the functions to your needs, this is a solid gift option for a home-centric dad.

Jockey U-Pouch underwear

Price: R319.95

Let’s be honest: most men need an underwear upgrade. Throw out those older, hole-filled undies and take a gander at Jockey’s U-pouch offering. They feature an innovative seam-free design offering anti-friction wear and complete comfort, and have a shaped crotch area to help provide support, comfort, and breathability that other underwear options don’t.

While many men roll their eyes at the process of going to the local pharmacy or store to pick up some necessary grooming items, it doesn’t have to be as much of an expensive chore as you think. On top of that, finding the right products that streamline your morning or nighttime routine is key to fussing less and wasting time with too many creams, gels, serums and other fandangled options. We’ve rounded up three simple and affordable products to enhance your grooming regime:

Playstation 5 Pulse 3D Audio Headset

Price: R1,699

If your dad is a gamer, the PS5’s 3D Audio Headset is an absolute winner. Developed specifically for the PS5 (although they do work on PS4 and PC), Sony’s 3D audio headset leverages the hardware’s object-based system to place virtual objects in 3D space around the user, and accurately place the corresponding sound, rather than simply left/right (stereo).

Therefore, when using the Pulse 3D headset, you get a far more accurate ‘location’ of the sounds from games, both in frequency and velocity. For example, during our playthrough of the Dead Space remake using the headset, overhead noises from air vents ‘appeared’ to come from above, while the spatial audio made identifying how far and where enemies were far more precise and, therefore, immersive. On top of the great audio quality, the headset also features dual noise-cancelling microphones, a built-in rechargeable battery, and an array of easy-access controls.

Bluebeards Revenge Big Blue Bar of Soap

Price: R270

Men are simple creatures, and Bluebeard Revenge knows this with the Big Blue Bar of Soap, which is as self-explanatory as it gets. With its chunky ingot shape and vibrant blue colour, it promises to stand out from the crowd; and is fragranced with the brand’s fresh and masculine Original scent, it’ll leave you smelling great from first sud to last.

Hugo Boss Absolu fragrance

Price: R3,465 (200ml)

Hugo Boss has been knocking it out of the park with its recent fragrances and scents, and Absolu is one of the brand’s best releases for men looking for something strong, elegant, and featuring that woody, leathery masculine aroma. Bottled Absolu was created by Annick Menardo and Suzy Le Helley; and also features notes of Patchouli and Myrrh, along with base notes of Cedarwood and Davana. If you want a fragrance that just oozes sophistication, this is it.
