Gozney pizza oven

Gin School at Republic of Fremantle
Gift your Dad the unique experience of being a distiller for a day. Kicking off with a gin and tonic on arrival, he’ll distil his very own 500ml bottle of gin with a lesson from Republic of Fremantle’s spirit experts. He’ll also learn about distilling history and processes, before choosing between floral, spiced, zesty, and savoury botanical combinations.
A thrilling, adrenaline-filled experience
For a gift that’s absolutely guaranteed to knock his socks off, Red Balloon has a range of exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping experiences that he will never forget. Think flying adventures like a tandem skydive over Rottnest Island, a scenic helicopter flight or a hot air balloon ride over the Avon Valley.
Cooking Class
If food is his thing, a cooking class might just be the quintessential Father’s Day gift. There are so many great Perth cooking classes to discover new culinary tips and tricks, but our favourite is the West Perth-based, Salt and Company. Here, they believe cooking is art, but you can eat it too. The classes are hands-on, interactive, and enjoyable, with experienced instructors guiding you through recipes ranging from Greek and Italian to Sri Lankan and French. He’ll learn techniques to take his cooking to the next level, as well as the fundamentals of each cuisine, and the purpose of key ingredients. Delizioso!
YETI water bottle
For the Dad who loves getting outdoors, a YETI water bottle is a great addition to help him stay hydrated while spending the day off the grid. These bottles are 100 per cent leakproof, easy to carry, double-wall vacuum insulated, and able to keep ice for days. Tried and tested, they’re worth every penny.
Wine decanter
A functional and beautiful decanter is a must-have for wine lovers and oenophiles. Whether you’re looking for a one-off piece or something a little more budget-friendly, there’s nowhere better to go than Kitchen Warehouse.
Luxe Island Seafood Cruise
For the ultimate foodie experience, give Dad a journey of the senses with a Luxe Island Seafood Cruise with Rottnest Cruises. Think four blissful hours of sightseeing, drinks, and a seven-course menu of local ingredients, and fresh seafood. The centrepiece? Western Rock Lobster, prepared by a private chef and enjoyed while soaking up the magnificent views aboard a 69-foot charter boat. He can even join in fishing for his own lobster and watch as it’s cooked for him on the deck. He’ll also have time to swim, float or relax on board while anchored in a pristine opal bay.
A beautiful watch
For something a little more luxe, acquire the luxury watch of his dreams at Barbagallo Watch. Set in the heart of Perth, inside a dreamy boutique guaranteed to impress, choose one for him or let him pick his own.
BCF Voucher
If he’s serious about adventure, help him fund his boating, camping, and fishing addictions with a BCF voucher. Whether he’s in the market for a new tent or camping oven, it’s safe to say he’ll find it here.
R.M.Williams boots
In 1932, R.M.Williams created his first elastic-sided Chelsea boot. Perfected over time, these legendary RMs are still made by hand and built to stay strong for years to come, making the perfect gift for your Dad this Father’s Day. Yes, they’re a little on the expensive side, but in our opinion, they’re worth every dollar.
