Father’s Day Gifts for your Hubby:

  • Personalized Docking Station. Send him subtle messages to keep his things in order. These stations often include a space for his wallet, a shelf for his phone, watches and keys.
  • Bluetooth Speaker. A must for a braai party, or a little lunch with the family.
  • Couples Drinking Card Game. Even if you think you know everything about each other, there is nothing like a little (adult/drinking) game to spice things up a bit!
  • Hot Sauce Subscription. Speaking of spice. A subscription allows him to explore new flavours every month.
  • Bathrobe. Because it’s cold! Something warm and snuggly can help your man brace the winter with ease. No apologies if he starts wearing it all day and night.
