Perfect online gifts for dad
FATHER’S DAY: BREAK AWAY FROM HUMDRUM AND YOU’LL BE HIS FAVOURITE
Don’t forget to spoil your old man on Father’s Day on Sunday.
From a lowveld getaway and a camera to capture those magic moments to an
Airbnb adventure.
Father’s day is this Sunday. Gone are the days where gifts were mundane and not well thought-out. Even with Covid-19 restrictions and not being able to shop for longer hours, here are some gift ideas for the dad and special man in your life.
Looking for a different type of gift that can be delivered to your door step and make the shopping experience less daunting and quicker? We’ve put together some different yet easily available options.
For the techie
Introduce dad to a new world of photography with Sony’s a7 III 24.2MP 35mm full-frame camera.
It combines advanced imaging innovations, high-speed response, ease of operation and reliable durability that’s ready to meet any of dad’s shooting needs.
Equipped to capture life’s most breathtaking moments, the camera’s outstanding imaging capability and high-speed performance is contained in a compact body that will give dad the power, precision and flexibility to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments.
An entirely renewed sensor and image processing system further enhances the a7 III’s image-capturing quality, so dad can relive every moment in realistic detail.
The camera’s detail reproduction and area-specific noise reduction technologies maintain image details and cut out noise, while the effective performance in mid-to-high sensitivity ranges means dad can shoot at high ISO with no concerns about noise and image deterioration.
Pair this imaging powerhouse with the SEL 28-70mm zoom lens.
This exceptional addition delivers outstanding contrast and resolution right out to the edges of the image.
It also features Optical SteadyShot to keep images stable, even when dad’s hands aren’t, for brilliant photographic results.
Price: R35 999 and receive 10% cash back till 25 June at any retail store in SA.
For the adventurer
If your dad is a lover of travel and the outdoors, treat him to a trip to the lowveld?
Even though leisure travel is not permitted right now, you could still buy a voucher for him to claim once he’s able to.
Places like Buckler’s Africa
Lodge by BON Hotels have great cancellation policies in place, allowing you to modify dates free of charge.
This lodge offers luxury self-catering accommodation on the banks of the Crocodile River, overlooking the Kruger National Park. The wide-open lawns create a feeling of space and tranquillity, and as you pass through the lodge, you look directly over the river and often see wildlife right on your doorstep.
For the foodie
Here we’re talking about the dads who enjoy the eating part more than the preparing part.
Why not treat Dad to a delicious homemade meal on Father’s Day? If your dad stays in Cape Town, you could order in from Gia’s Kitchen.
This local food supplier specialises in nutritious frozen meals, providing the ultimate convenience for delicious meals at home.
They also offer a variety of dishes via online orders and delivery to your door.
For the bookworm
There has never been a better time to be a bookworm.
With many of us still spending the bulk of our time at home, a best-selling page turner will be a most welcome gift.
In celebration of Father’s Day,
loot.co.za is running a special of 35% off selected books. Hop over to the website to find something that’ll suit his taste.
Pro tip: add in a special brew of coffee to your gift. With winter setting in fast, a warm cuppa to go with a good book is sure to make the gesture all that more special!
For the culture curious
Who would’ve thought that during lockdown, you could enjoy a local jazz club’s cocktail hour, do a mind and body class with an Olympian, or a sound bath meditation with a Singapore DJ?
Airbnb recently announced the launch of Online Experiences to allow people to explore the world from home, while also giving their hosts a way of continuing to earn an income.
From living rooms in New York, to kitchens in Italy, to the shores of Cape Town, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Airbnb Experiences are a unique way to celebrate the day from the comfort – and safety – of home.
For the drinker
Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for. They aren’t likely to tell you what they need, and they probably already own the tools and sports essentials. So, go to Thirst Bar Services to make your Father’s Day shopping easier.
Their Father’s Day gift boxes will surely lead Dad to finally admit you’re his favourite child (or the best wife).
