Break out the BBQ grill this weekend

BBQ cooking

Many Australians love being responsible for the barbeque, so why not help him take his cooking skills to the next level with a Father’s Day BBQ cooking class? He’ll love meeting like-minded people around his local area and learning tips and tricks from local BBQ experts! 

Expect to learn how to marinate meat and smoke it to perfection, all while drinking a beer or two. This genius cooking class is the perfect opportunity for a first-time Dad to learn new skills he can put into practice and improve the quality of his family’s mealtimes. Looking for Father's Day presents for Grandad? We've got you covered. 

Embrace his green thumb with a terrarium making class

Terrarium

Help Dad get more creative while getting his hands dirty in a terrarium making class. This popular first Father’s Day gift idea is an exciting opportunity for Dads to learn how to master the art of building a terrarium for the home. Because it’s suitable for beginners, he doesn’t need to feel overwhelmed by his lack of plant knowledge. He’ll learn all about different types of soils and succulents to use as well as when to water them and where to put them in the home. This confidence-building workshop is a fantastic way for Dad to get his DIY skills on in a unique setting. Bring the whole family along and create gorgeous memories as you learn all about plants together.

Take a mindful break from his daily routine with a pottery class

Hand building clay

Pottery classes are really popular gift experiences for men, especially for first Father’s Day gifts in Australia. In this relaxing beginners class, Dad will be able to spend time away from his busy schedule and relax while learning new DIY skills in a creative environment. 

He’ll learn the art of clay-hand building or take on a pottery wheel throwing class and be mesmerised as he learns to form objects simply by moulding and shaping clay in his hands. There’s something incredibly satisfying and rewarding for many people when it comes to pottery making classes, a perfect option when looking for Father’s Day ideas in Australia.

Dad will learn to make anything from plates, bowls, vases or mugs for the home, all of which will make fantastic keepsakes he can use every day as a reminder of his first Father’s Day as a proud dad.  

Learn how to take amazing photos

Capturing special moments has never been easier! Thanks to smartphone photography (and probably Instagram), taking photos has become more popular than ever. First-time Dads know how important it is to capture special moments of their children before they’re all grown up. Think he might like to take his phone photography to the next level? Head along to a fascinating smartphone photography class together.

There’s much more to taking photos than pulling your phone out of your pocket! Discover tips and tricks from a local photography expert who will teach Dad how to take exceptional images of his family now and into the future. He’ll also learn which editing apps to use and how to frame his subjects in the best way possible.

Make the perfect brew at home

Coffee classes

If there’s one thing parents need more of when having a baby, it’s coffee! Dad will love a barista class as he’ll learn everything there is to know about making the best cup of coffee, just as the barista does at his local coffee shop. Let him do you both a favour and learn everything about using coffee machines, what coffee beans to use, how to heat milk perfectly and even create some Insta-worthy latte art! Dad will build his confidence (and maybe even chat with some other sleep-deprived Dads) and will soon realise what a fantastic first Father’s Day gift idea it really is!

Head on a paint and sip date night with Mum

Paint and sip

When starting a family, date night tends to go out of the window. Bring Mum and Dad together for a night off at a fun paint and sip class! Paint and sip is exactly what you might think – painting and sipping a glass of wine. It's all about taking a more relaxed approach to art and enjoying the painting process instead of the destination. And of course, you’ll have a glass of wine on hand to help you relax into it. As Mum and Dad learn to paint a modern masterpiece, it will help them reconnect, while taking some well-earned time out and away from the little one. It’s a popular couples activity and makes one of the best first Father’s Day gifts for Dad in Australia.

Simply choose a beautiful Father’s Day card and organise a gift experience that will surprise him. It will certainly be a memorable first Father’s Day gift in Australia – one that all Aussie Dads will love!
