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.

If your pops needs an upgrade in the underwear department, Jockey’s new ‘U-Pouch’ range is the way to go.

Elevated Audio: Baseus H1i Bowie Noise-Cancellation Wireless Headphones

Of course, one of the best game-changing gadgets for anyone who works in a busy office, loves listening to podcasts, or wants to appreciate the finer nuances in music, a good set of Bluetooth headphones is a must. The Baseus H1i Bowie Noise-Cancellation Wireless Headphones support 40dB of noise cancellation, include Bluetooth version 5.2 for a quick connection, and a large battery capacity that allows for 70 hours of listening time at 70% volume.
Winter wonder: Bionic Gilet Puffer from Curve Gear

Minimal Multitasker: Baseus Back Stick Silicone Card Bag

This may seem like a small addition, but it can change your daily routine (for the better) quite substantially, and we’re all for that. The silicone card holder simple sticks to the back of any smartphone or smartphone cover, and allows you to slip cards, folded cash, or anything else that fits into the slit.
