Top 7 Father’s Day gifts

With Father’s Day rapidly approaching — it’s on Sunday September 6 for those not in the know (don’t worry I had to Google it too!) — we thought we’d put together a gift guide that has something for all tastes and all budgets. So this year, give Dad something a bit more interesting than socks and undies!

PosterCandy from PosterCandy: With just $15 and a few clicks of your mouse, you can create a stunning personalised poster using your own photos from Instagram, Facebook or your smartphone and computer. Every poster is finished on gallery grade Kodak paper following a traditional photographic process, meaning the quality is superb (I have a poster myself, so I can attest they’re great!).

The Salt&Pepper FROMAGE 28cm Round Board from House: There’s truly nothing quite like a glorious cheese platter, and what better way to display it then on an Acacia wood board that pays homage to the true cheese-connoisseurs: the French?! At only $19.95, it will add rustic charm to a contemporary space.

GPO UK Attaché Case Turntable – Vinyl Record Player from Rockit Record Players: Stylish, lightweight and available in a range of colours (vintage brown, pillar box red, sky blue, black and pastel green) this $199 record player makes it easy to play vinyl. Made of wood and bound in leatherette, it features a built-in stereo so you can tune in without needing a speaker system.GPO_UK_Attaché_Case_Turntable_–_Vinyl_Record_Player_–_Green_21Mad Men Draper DOF Tumbler Pair from Waterford Crystal: Steeped in ’60s style and luxury, the Mad Men Draper DOF Tumbler Pair is neither subtle nor inconspicuous — thanks to its crystal with superior cutwork detailing and bands of rich 18 carat gold. At $249 it is perfect for indulging in a decadent night-cap!

BUSINESS MAN from Man Mail: The ultimate kit for every type of business man, this gift box sorts out Dad’s desk, snack attacks and life. Boom! At $170, it includes a signed copy of Unleash Your Alpha by Mike Campbell, a travel essential pack by Murchison Hume, a porcelain mug and tub by Seletti and some yummy snacks from Pana Chocolate.

Inissia & Aeroccino3 Breville from Nespresso: Add some colour to Dad’s daily grind with the Nespresso Breville Inissia in ruby red, tropical green or white. Catering to all coffee needs, the Inissia features two programmable cup sizes, a 25 second heat up time and an Aeroccino3 milk frother with ceramic coating for milk based coffees. Compact and lightweight it is ideal for any interior space – from the benchtop to Dad’s home office, and is currently available at the special price of $189.

The Uniden Jump Start Kit provides drivers with a one-stop-shop for all car troubles, recharging a flat car battery and adjusting the tyre pressure without the need of third-party roadside assistance. The compact, self-sufficient kit also has the ability to charge mobile devices, inflate sporting equipment and includes an LED flashlight. It retails for $199.95.

First look at the H&M Home range in the new Melbourne store

If you’re anything like me, you’re often more excited about cushions than clothes. There’s room for both in my life, don’t get me wrong, but my first thoughts on Australia’s first H&M were whether they’d have the homewares range too! And they have! Hoorah! Here are some first glimpses of them in store and it’s looking good!

It’s all covered, from dining to bedroom to bathroom. Excited yet?

H&M_Melbourne_08-01

I’m happy to see there’s plenty for children’s rooms. All of a sudden, with the likes of Pottery Barn Kids and the new Cotton On Kids linen, we suddenly have some great high street options for kids which we didn’t just a year ago.

But back to grown-ups and products to style up your bathroom…

It really is an impressive looking store and I can’t wait to visit on my next Melbourne trip, for the affordable homewares and clothes!

I picked out a few favourites (clockwise from top left): On-trend metallic copper and linen cushion cover, $14.95 | towel (also in yellow), $19.95 | double duvet set, $69.95 | ceramic pot, $14.95 (also comes in other colours).

They intend to fill a gap in the Australian market with stylish, affordable homewares, bedding, cushions, kitchenware and more. The much anticipated first store is set to open at the iconic GPO in the next few months, as a full concept store. Spanning approximately 5,000 square metres, it will be one of H&M’s largest globally.
