Father's Day Gift Guide 2026
Father's Day falls on Sunday 6 September 2026. If you want something that isn't socks, here's what we'd actually recommend from the shop — and how to pick the right one.
Order by Tuesday 2 September for delivery before the weekend. Free shipping on orders over $99.
If he drinks tea: a cast iron teapot
Cast iron holds heat far longer than ceramic, so a pot poured at the table is still hot at the last cup. It's the gift people keep for twenty years, and it looks better the more it's used.
Which size?
- 600–800ml — one or two people. Our Yellow 800ml at $54.60 and Dark Green 800ml at $45.49 are the easiest to handle.
- 900ml–1.0L — the everyday size for a household. The Galaxy 900ml ($66.50) has a speckled black finish, and the Ginkgo 1.0L ($62.99) carries a ginkgo leaf relief.
- 1.2–1.6L — for a family table or a long afternoon. The All Black 1.2L is $41.99, the Red Mame 1.25L $67.19.
All cast iron is hand wash only — no detergent, dry it warm, and it will outlast everything else in the kitchen.
If he takes tea seriously: a full set
A complete set is the better gift when he already has a pot. Everything arrives boxed.
- JDZ Artisan Celadon Teapot Set, carp pattern — teapot and two matching cups, $49.99. The quietest of the sets and the one we'd pick first.
- JDZ 4 Cups & Teapot, Blue Flower — hand-painted Jingdezhen porcelain, $55.99.
- JDZ 4 Cups & Pot with travel case, gold handle — $68.60, packs into its own case for camping, the office or the bach.
If he drinks coffee
- Hario V60 Ice Coffee Maker 700ml — $41.99. Brews straight over ice for 2–4 cups; the right gift heading into summer.
- Loca ceramic filters — a reusable ceramic filter instead of paper. Nothing to buy again.
If he'd rather have something to drink from
- SAMADOYO 400ml Thermos Tea Cup — $69.99, double-walled with an infuser basket. For the desk or the ute.
- Moomin mugs — $29.99 ceramic, $39.99 stainless double-walled.
- Wooden beer mugs — $19.99, small or large.
Something special
The ISHIZUKA ADERIA El Dorado glass set ($119) is a pair of hand-finished Japanese whisky glasses with a gold vine motif. Ishizuka has been making glass in Japan since 1819. This is the one for a milestone birthday or a significant Father's Day.
