THE FATHER’S DAY FIX continued

MUSIC DAD It doesn’t come much easier than this, does it? Does he dig vinyl or buy CDs? Adding to a collection is a safe bet and asking some carefully concealed investigative questions will put you (and him) on the right track. Does he listen to his music digitally? Grab him a decent set of headphones or earbuds – he’ll be forever thankful. Perhaps he’s been hinting at getting back into vinyl – grab him a turntable and reignite that passion. Does he spend a lot of time tinkering in the garden or garage? A good portable Bluetooth speaker will always hit the spot.

COOKING DAD The modern dad is as happy in the kitchen as he is in the garage, even if his culinary masterpiece ends up being appreciated by the dog – it’s the effort that counts. So, if your dad thinks he’s the king of the kitchen, then reward your foodie monarch with something that will help him create the very best cuisine. Could he use a new mixer or a food processor? What about a quality sandwich grill? Does he enjoy his vino or coffee? How about a wine fridge or a coffee machine?

GAMING DAD Again, like Music Dad, this is an easy category to shop for Father’s Day. Here you have four main areas to drill down into: PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. Under these broad options are a plethora of gifting ideas, from new controllers to storage cases to steering wheels for racing fans. If he plays online, then consider getting him a banging headset. And then, of course, there are the games – again, a bit of investigative work can conjure some ideas here and if all else fails, put a pre-order payment down on an upcoming blockbuster.

Online or a Gift Card If time or pandemic lockdowns scupper your plans in getting to a store to shop for your dad, remember you can always buy a Father’s Day pressie online at JB. And should you have a dad that is seemingly impossible to buy for, a JB Hi-Fi gift card is your new best friend!
