Father's Day lands on Sunday 6 September, which means you have got three weekends to work out what to get the man who says he does not want anything.

Here is what we would grab, floor by floor, plus a competition worth entering before you go.

Sign up to win

We are giving away $250 to four lucky winners*. To enter, sign up to the Altona Gate mailing list before 02 September 2026. You will also be first to hear about offers, events and new stores, which comes in handy well past September.

For the dad who runs the barbecue

Sacca's Fine Foods Butcher and Fish is where the good stuff lives. Ask for a thick cut scotch fillet, some marinated ribs or a kilo of prawns if he is a seafood man. Round it out with tongs or a cast iron pan from House.

For the dad still wearing that same old tee

Connor has shirts and polos that look like an effort was made. Just Jeans and Cotton On Mega cover the casual end. And do not underestimate a Bonds multipack. Socks and undies are the gift every dad claims not to want and then quietly wears every week.

For the dad who is on his feet all day

Skechers and Sportsco both do the kind of comfortable, wear anywhere sneakers that get worn out within a year. Which is exactly the point.

For the dad who genuinely has everything

Get something with his name on it. Mister Minit can engrave a keyring or a hip flask while you shop. Salera's Jewellers has watches at a range of price points if you want to go bigger. Or book him in at Barber Dollz, TikTok Barber or Cuts and Colours for a proper cut, which is somehow harder for men to justify buying themselves.

For the dad who needs to sit down

A massage at Rox Chinese Massage and Acupuncture. A cake from 21st Century Bakery. A robe or a set of decent towels from Sheridan Outlet or Bed Bath N' Table. None of it costs a fortune, all of it says slow down.

For the dad and his pride and joy

The car, obviously. Star Car Wash for a full detail, or Mycar if it is time for a service. Practical, but he will love it.

Still stuck?
