With Father’s Day 2025 less than four weeks away, it’s time to start looking for gifts to say thanks to our favourite tax-return helpers, grass-cutting aficionados, and one of the many "make-everything-better-again" heroes in our lives - our father figures.
Whether that be our biological fathers, grandfathers, our special uncle who helped raise us, or even that kind neighbour who has always been there to lend an ear. They all deserve a little something special.
First stop: fragrance! For some of the best Father’s Day colognes, we’ve rounded up our top picks here.
And if that's not enough (it never is) and you’re looking to pair that with a little something extra, here’s our edit of 7 excellent Father’s Day gift ideas in the grooming department to add to cart.
Best Father's Day Gifts Australia.
1. American Crew Beard Serum, $29.95
Is your father figure’s beard looking a little...unruly?
The American Crew Beard Serum might just be what he needs.
This oil-based beard serum works to instantly condition and nourish the beard as well as help to keep it soft and shiny.
Let’s be real, this is also a needed gift (read: reprieve) for mum too.
American Crew Beard Serum review:
"Hubby loves this beard serum he says it has promoted more growth and his beard is more manageable.” - AB customer Natalie.
"I bought this product for my partner as his beard is always so scratchy. He absolutely loved this product and his beard now has that extra glow and feels super smooth." AB customer Kat.
I don't know about you, but I've definitely seen my brother forcefully discussing and testing both his favourite massage tool and foam back roller on my dad, and although my dad showed ZERO interest at the start, the end of the conversation went like this: “Wait, can you come over once a week and massage me with that?”
Enough said.
The Therabody Theragun 12" Wave Roller is perfect for the father figure who needs a post-workout recovery treatment that goes beyond a normal foam roller.
Or even better? The Therabody Theragun massage tool with 3 science-backed, specialised attachments for the father figures who desparately need a daily, soothing massage (a great way to give them something to look forward to every day after a hard day at work).
Male pattern baldness and hair loss are incredibly common among men over 50, but the right products can go a long way in helping Dad maintain a fuller, stronger head of hair.
Enter Kérastase…
Known for their incredibly high-performance haircare, Kerastase have formulated a range tailored specifically for men’s hair loss. (If that doesn't scream: best presents for dad - we don't know what does. Don't dads LOVE a solution?)
The Genesis Homme collection is the brand’s first dual-action anti-fall line for weakened hair prone to thinning, combining style with serious science.
Infused with Creatine to fortify each strand from within, and invigorating Ginger Root Extract to refresh the scalp and boost strength, it’s a grooming upgrade that also delivers a little confidence boost, too.
Adore Beauty’s own Head of Retail Marketing and self-confessed beauty snob/luxe beauty lover did a Kerastase Homme review, read his honest thoughts on the range here.
It's the shower routine upgrade he didn’t even know he needed.
Kérastase Homme Shampoo review:
"I purchased this shampoo for my partner who noticed his hair was thinning. It has strengthened his hair and his scalp is much healthier." - AB customer Mags.
"Bought this for my dad and his hair condition has improved, the scent is pretty nice too." - AB customer Milly.
Help restore dad’s glow without stripping an ounce of hydration from his already dry face with this gentle exfoliator.
With 99% natural ingredients, this scrub uses finely milled bamboo particles to gently polish away dead cells, while Vitamin C and Pink Grapefruit extract boost brightness and radiance.
Rich emollients like Camellia Seed and Rosehip Oils soothe and hydrate, making it ideal even for sensitive dad complexions!
5. STRAAND The Crown Cleanse Prebiotic Shampoo and Conditioner, $28
Speaking of hair loss or other hair woes our father figures would probably prefer to avoid talking about (ahem: flakey scalps).
It's time to turn to STRAAND.
STRAAND is an affordable hair care brand that focuses on scalp health, without the fancy schmancy fluff that can sometimes deter our father figures from giving a damn about their scalp health.
Plus, if your father figure doesn't want to use anything "fancy”, but still wants something that he'll enjoy using - this is the affordable haircare for men he will appreciate.
The STRAAND shampoo also comes with a refreshingly peppermint scent that will give your father figure that cooling and revitalised feeling we know he secretly loves just like the rest of us.
STRAAND doesn't do intimidating routines or overly fancy bottles, just simple, effective formulas that get the job done.
6. ECOYA Sandalwood & Amber Car Diffuser Refill, $14.95
Raise your hand if, as a kid, you ever dropped a rogue Macca’s patty, muddy football socks or some other mystery mess in Dad’s car and he just had to cop it?
For the father figures who treat their vehicles like prized possessions, consider upgrading their ride with a sleek, elevated car diffuser to say thank you and sorry for those nostalgic days!
Perfect for scent enthusiast dads who like to keep their vehicles, crisp, clean and smelling fresh all the time.
Our top pick? The warm, sophisticated and grounding notes of sandalwood and amber.
For the rough-around-the-edges but equally endearing father figure who loves his “manly accessories” and his “me time” in the bathroom, Tooletries accessories (made from long-lasting, antibacterial silicone) from is the perfect one-stop shop.
Here are some best sellers to add to cart:
Tooletries Back Scrubber & Hook Set Charcoal - A must-have shower kit containing a long-handled, antibacterial exfoliating scrubber tool that gently exfoliates and cleanses plus a handy hook to store it on.
"I was dubious about the length and softness of the bristles, thinking this might eat body wash and not be tough enough to exfoliate but I was so pleasantly surprised! Actually makes the body wash go further and definitely firm enough to really scrub! Also so hygienic, love it!" - AB customer Rowan.
"Great quality, feels great on the skin." - AB customer Ben.
