Father's Day 2019

Ultimate gift ideas for Dad this Father's Day

Just like mums, dads are super-important in our lives and the day to recognise that is just around the corner. For most of us, dad is the one who works tirelessly all day so that he can take care of his family’s financial needs, and in most cases, their wants too. He is the superhero who, despite his busy schedule, still finds time to support his children every step of the way. To honour him, we celebrate Father’s Day once a year, and this year we’ve rounded up some ultimate and unique gift ideas that will show dad just how much you love him.

Give him a few hours of adventure

If your dad loves adventures but never really gets the chance to indulge, now’s the time to give him a gift that’s guaranteed to produce an adrenalin rush. Take him on a V8 race car driving experience! With just 2 to 3 hours to spend from the briefing and driving, he doesn’t have much time to lose while he enjoys the fast-paced action. Check out what’s on offer at Red Balloon.

For dad’s who love the water

If an exhilarating experience like car racing isn’t for your dad, then maybe an on-water experience is more to his liking. From shark-diving and swimming with humpback whales through to jet ski safaris, fishing, sailing and everything in between, Red Balloon have a huge range of on-water options right across the country. Dad is sure to have an unforgettable Father’s Day celebration with any of these treats.

Personalised gifts

Okay, so maybe your dad is a bit of a couch potato and his idea of an awesome Father’s Day is to spend some time just resting. It’s a Sunday after all so he might just want to laze around and recuperate after a week of hard work. To show him just how important he is, give him a personalised gift with his name written on it, or a beautiful quote to express how much you love him. Or just stick to the simple but meaningful word “dad” (feel free to add the words “world’s greatest” in there too!). A mug perhaps? Or a credit card holder? A personalised keyring is a good idea too. Whatever your dad fancies, you can have it personalised. Give it to him and say “I love you” while he’s still in bed on the morning of Father’s Day. He’s bound to be delighted to wake up with your special gift to him.

Breakfast in bed

Here’s another way to make your gift to dad unforgettable! After handing him your personalised gift, go all out and surprise him with breakfast in bed. Make sure you wake up before him so you have plenty of time to prepare and cook his favourite breakfast. It doesn’t have to be a gourmet dish - it can be something as simple as an omelette and toast. But if you want to go the extra mile and prepare a more lavish breakfast, give dad a big fry up of eggs, smoky bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, plus some hash browns or beans. Your dad will surely remember the effort you’ve put into it for a long time to come.

Dinner for two

If you don’t have the time or the skills to cook for dad, why not take him out for dinner instead? It’s the best chance for both of you to talk and catch up. Take him to his favourite restaurant and order his favourite meal from the menu. Of course, it has to be your treat so get the credit card ready! How often do dads get a treat from their children? It's usually dad who does the spending so he'll feel extra special if you treat him on Father’s Day. Just don’t forget to book a table in advance as restaurants are very popular on this special day.

Plan now!

With Father’s Day coming soon, you need to start planning now. Whatever gift you choose, the day needs proper planning. If you choose to take your dad for the car racing, fishing, or dinner, you need to book your spot early, or you might miss the chance. Personalised gifts also take time to create and order, and don’t forget you also need to buy the ingredients for that special breakfast in bed.

We understand that indulging dad comes with a cost but if you’re a little low on cash right now, we’re here to help. Just check out our fast cash loans from $1K - $5K to find out how quick and easy it is to get your hands on some extra funds. Once a loan is approved, we can usually deposit the cash into your bank account within a few hours - so apply now and get ready to delight your dad this Father’s Day!
