Father’s Day is mere weeks away, and once again we’ve got the ultimate guide to spoiling dad this year.

So, if you’re looking for tips on what to get him, where to take him for lunch or dinner, or of course, what events are on, then look no further because we have it all!

Every father needs a gift that’s selected for him by his loved ones. Unfortunately we’re not always chockers with great ideas on what to get the man who seems to have everything. No stress, we here at Glam have put our heads together and come up with a collection of gift ideas for those who are stuck. From fashion to spa packages, we’ve got you sorted.

Gifts

Wirra Wirra Wines

If your dad is a wine aficionado, or even just loves a tipple, head down to Wirra Wirra Wines to pick up the perfect present. Internationally regarded as McLaren Vale icons, Wirra Wirra Wines are some of the best South Australia has to offer. Pair a bottle of Church Block with a Wirra Wirra Decanter and he’ll be in wine-lovers heaven.

Swiss Wellness Natural Health & Beauty Spa

Woodside Cheese Wrights

Maybe your dad would rather gorge himself on cheese all day… So why not take him up to the Woodside Cheese Wrights Cellar Door. Full of cheese and produce tasting, local art and exclusive giftware, Woodside Cheese Wrights is the perfect place to let dad choose his own gift (probably his weight in cheese but you can always help him with that).
