Father’s Day Done Right - What Dad Really Wants This Year

August 26, 2025 Share Article

With Father’s Day landing on 7 September this year, August is the perfect time to lock in a gift that speaks to your dad’s taste. Forget the socks, ties, and mugs. This Father’s Day is all about giving him something he will genuinely enjoy. Whether he is a fan of good wine, craft beer, top-shelf whisky, or gourmet snacks, a well-curated hamper brings it all together in one stylish and thoughtful package.

Why Hampers Are the New Go-To for Father’s Day

Choosing the right gift for Dad can be tricky. You want something personal, but you also want to avoid spending hours hunting through stores or scrolling endlessly online. This is where hampers come in. A Father’s Day hamper takes the guesswork out of gifting.

Our hampers are carefully curated to combine quality, style, and practicality. They are packed with premium products that are chosen to match a variety of tastes and interests. You simply choose a hamper that suits your dad’s personality and preferences, and we take care of the rest. From luxurious packaging to easy delivery, it is a seamless way to make Father’s Day special.

Hampers also feel more thoughtful than a single bottle or box of chocolates. Each one offers a mix of gourmet items, drinks, and accessories that create a complete experience. When your dad opens a hamper and finds his favourite craft beers, a rich red wine, or a smooth whisky paired with indulgent snacks, it feels like the gift was made just for him.

For the Beer Lover: Craft Brews and Savoury Treats

If your dad enjoys a casual beer session on the weekend or loves trying new local brews, a beer-themed hamper is an easy win. Instead of grabbing a standard six-pack, choose a curated hamper that pairs boutique beers with a selection of savoury and sweet treats.

Look for options that include:

  • Local or craft beers from boutique breweries
  • Classic snacks such as nuts or artisan crisps
  • Choc chip shortbread for a sweet finish

This combination feels both familiar and elevated. It is perfect for dads who like to unwind with a beer but also enjoy a few gourmet nibbles on the side. A hamper like this is equally suited to a backyard barbecue, a game night, or a quiet afternoon with family.

For the Whisky Dad: Small-Batch Spirits and Sweet Pairings

If your dad prefers the finer things in life, a whisky-focused hamper is an unforgettable gift. Whisky lovers appreciate quality, and a hamper that includes a premium bottle along with elegant accessories shows that you have put real thought into the occasion.

Consider hampers that feature:

  • A premium or small-batch whisky that feels exclusive
  • Crystal-clear tumblers for the perfect pour
  • Smooth marble coasters to add a touch of sophistication

Many whisky hampers also come with complementary gourmet pairings such as dark chocolate, shortbread, or spiced nuts, which are perfect for enjoying alongside a glass of whisky. A gift like this not only celebrates Father’s Day but also creates a memorable experience that your dad can enjoy for weeks to come.

For the Wine Guy: Bold Reds and Chocolate

Wine lovers are easy to spoil when you choose the right bottle. A bold, full-bodied red wine paired with rich chocolates and artisanal snacks makes for a perfect Father’s Day hamper. It is a classic combination that works for both intimate family dinners and relaxed evenings at home.

Look for hampers that include:

  • A standout red wine, whether it is a Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, or a smooth blend
  • A charcuterie board set for effortless entertaining
  • Chapter Sommelier Wine Tumblers for a premium drinking experience

A wine-themed hamper is ideal for the dad who loves pairing good food with great wine. It is also an excellent choice for a Father’s Day gift that the whole family can enjoy during a shared meal.
