Father's Day Gift Ideas 2020

Reclaim your rightful place as favourite child with these Father's Day gift ideas...

The magic of Father’s Day in our family died around the same time birthdays become less of an accomplishment, and more of a reminder that you ain’t getting any younger. Now, we just let dad pick out something for himself (usually biking related), say it’s from us, and call it a day. 

What I’m trying to get at is dads are infamously hard to buy for. But dads are also, well, dads are the best. So this year we think it’s time to step up our game and reinject the excitement back into Father’s Day with these actually thoughtful, actually good gift guide ideas. 

Amisfield Degustation 

Treat dad to an unmatched gastronomical experience at Queenstown’s famed Amisfield Bistro. If you’re someone that tends to suffer from decision paralysis, you’ll be well served by the high-ceilinged confines of the restaurant, where there is only one rotating menu on offer, that flows seamlessly - and theatrically - from one course to the next. There’s mischief at every step, with delights that provide consistent deliciousness and floor staff that keep proceedings fun.
