It\u2019s that time of year again! Lastminute lovely Shauna has handpicked a few gift ideas to spoil your lucky Dad this Father\u2019s Day.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n

With Father\u2019s Day on Sunday September 2 this year, it\u2019s just around the corner! But don\u2019t lose sleep over it because we\u2019ve compiled a list of thoughtful (who cares if we did the thinking for you?) gift ideas that will suit any type of Dad.<\/p>\n

Do’s and don\u2019ts<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t<\/strong> buy him a barbecue kit \u2013 that includes accessories, utensils, and condiments.
\nDo<\/strong> book him into a cooking class<\/a> so he can learn some skills that he\u2019ll be able to take home and use again.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t<\/strong> buy him another bottle of wine or tasting pack of beer.
\nDo<\/strong> get him involved in a tasting tour<\/a> for a delicious day out.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t<\/strong> buy him a DVD \u2013 if he does watch it, it\u2019ll only be that one time.
\nDo<\/strong> get him out of the house by signing him up for an extreme activity<\/a> for a spot of adrenalin that will get his heart pumping.<\/p>\n

Gifts that keep on giving for every kind of Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Outdoorsy Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n\"<\/a>\n

Book your Dad in for the ride of his life \u2013 a Harley tour<\/a> of the NSW South Coast and Kangaroo Valley. Taking off from Sydney, Dad will spend the day riding around the beautiful pristine coastline of NSW with the wind in his hair.<\/p>\n

Victorian Dads need not miss out! Get Dad involved in a four and a half hour Harley tour to the Mornington Peninsula<\/a>. Dad will love the adrenalin!<\/p>\n

What we can\u2019t guarantee however, is that he won\u2019t get addicted!<\/p>\n

The Artistic Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n\"<\/a>\n

If you really want to impress Dad, put his name down for a four hour photography tour<\/a>. An intro to the world of photography, a refresher course, or simply an opportunity to get out and practise his skills under the guidance of a pro, this course will have Dad showing off in no time!<\/p>\n

For Perth-based Dads, sign him up to experience the stunning Fremantle coast with a full day photography class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u2018willing to give it a go\u2019 Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n\"<\/a>\n

If Dad doesn\u2019t have access to a camera or isn\u2019t too keen on photography, why not test his bravery with a two and a half hour cage-less shark dive<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Let him explore the world\u2019s only guaranteed shark diving experience with no cages, and prove once and for all that he\u2019s not scared of a few big fish!<\/p>\n

For those Dads who live outside of Sydney, have a look at our other shark dive options.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Masterchef Dad<\/strong>
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does Dad love to cook? Well I hope you weren\u2019t planning on buying him another cook book this year!<\/p>\n

Tantalise his tastebuds with a three hour Asian Fusion Cooking Class<\/a>. Designed for the beginning to the intermediate cook, this class will add a fresh touch to Dad\u2019s cooking repertoire.<\/p>\n

Or have him learn how to cook the perfect pasta with a three hour pasta cooking class<\/a> in Brisbane. Bellissimo!<\/p>\n

The R&R Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n\"<\/a>\n

Does your Dad need some time out? Indulge him with some pampering<\/a> that will de-clutter his brain and get his toes tingling again.<\/p>\n

What about a one and a half hour massage and mud mask <\/a>? Massage therapists can come out to accommodation in most Australian regions. How convenient!<\/p>\n

You know what they say… give a gift that you\u2019d like to receive!<\/p>\n

The Tasting Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nSign Dad up on a two and a half hour beer tasting class<\/a> where he\u2019ll be able to experience the finest brewery of boutique beers in Sydney.<\/p>\n

Or if he\u2019s more into wine, why not send him to the Barossa for some grape appreciation? A full day wine tasting tour<\/a> and a two-course lunch is where it\u2019s at!<\/p>\n
