Sunday, 21 June is Father’s Day in South Africa, and what better way is there to show dad some love than by getting him the ultimate father’s day gift? Although some shops have opened up now, online shopping is still a winner. Here are our favourite, super-awesome, but simple gift ideas that you can have delivered straight to dad’s door!
1. Patriotic Socks
You may have seen these fancy flags worn by the crew of both Phoenix Racing teams at the Odzala Discovery Camps 52 SUPER SERIES event in Cape Town earlier this year. Now, dad could be sporting these on his next adventure out the house as well.
These performance, active socks from Versus Socks are specifically designed to provide you with a super comfortable fit. Whether you’re sailing, cycling, running, gyming, playing tennis, golf or in fact any other sport, be ready to meet your new favourite pair of socks.
2. Ullman Sails Gear Barrel Bag
Make sure dad’s ready for his next weekend away with the beautiful and durable barrel bag range from Ullman Sails Gear. The BRAVO BARREL BAG is a great versatile bag. The large compartment is perfect for your trip to the gym, weekend cruise and even the next race. This bag has you covered regardless of the situation. The classic design is simple, classy and thanks to the effect of ULLMAN SAILS FIBRE-PATH, it’s industrial.
- Large internal pack space
- x1 external side pocket
- Crossbody strap and handheld straps
- Made from sail material and Ripstop fabric
3. Cheeky Swim Shorts
Although it may be a winter in the southern hemisphere, we still have warm, balmy days down South. Brighten up any day with these super fun swim shorts from Granadilla, a local brand from Cape Town with the best designs around. Even better yet, they have an Eco range! South Africa’s most environmentally conscious pair of swimming trunks – made from 100% recycled fabric (ocean fishing nets and plastics). These revolutionary shorts dry 50% faster than our Originals and have a luxuriously soft finish to top it off. They are made in the classic above-the-knee cut, with an elasticated waistband and drawstring. These swim shorts are not only contributing to ocean clean up by using trash to make treasure but are also our highest quality product made to date.
*All shorts are gift-wrapped in an iconic Granadilla tin
