Dad's hard to buy for. He says he doesn't need anything, then quietly hopes for something better than another tie. This year, skip the guesswork. Christmas gifts for Dad from RedBalloon are picked for him: something he'll look forward to, then bring up for weeks after. Looking for cool Christmas gifts for Dad who loves speed, good Christmas present ideas for a dad who'd rather sit still with a beer in hand, or a great Christmas gift for the dad who's impossible to read? There's a match here. Some dads want the rush. Some just want an excuse to slow down. Either way, it beats socks. Gift a story you can't wait to hear.
Every dad is different, so there's no single perfect Christmas present for Dad. Some want their pulse up, some want their to-do list empty for a day, and some just want a decent feed with a story attached. Here are a few Christmas gift ideas for Dad from the RedBalloon range, split by the kind of Christmas present he actually wants.
If your dad measures a good day by how fast his heart was beating, NextGen Mustang Driving 6 Laps and 2 Hot Laps in Sydney puts him behind the wheel for six laps, then two hot laps riding shotgun with a pro. For a dad chasing altitude instead of asphalt, a Skydive Over Sunshine Coast takes him up to 13,000ft before the jump, over some of Queensland's best coastline on the way down.
Not every good Christmas gift for Dad needs an adrenaline warning. A 2 Night Stay in Axedale Stargazer Tiny Home for 2 hands him a fireplace, a view of the Victorian countryside and nowhere to be. Closer to home, a Men's Head Spa with Beard Care in Bankstown is a proper reset for a dad who'd never book one for himself.
Feed him well and he'll forgive you for skipping the wrapping paper. A Burleigh Brewing Guided Backstage Tour with Lunch and Tastings walks him through the brewery on the Gold Coast before sitting him down to a proper lunch. In Victoria, a Texas BBQ Lunch or Dinner with Wine or Spirits for 2 covers slow smoked meat plus a drink to go with it.
Some Christmas gifts for Dad are really about the view. An Adelaide Oval Roof Climb at Dawn with Breakfast gets him above the stadium as the sun comes up, breakfast included. In Perth, the Optus Stadium VERTIGO Twilight Rooftop Tour does the same thing at dusk, harnessed in and walking the roofline as the lights come on below.
Every RedBalloon gift voucher is valid for 5 years, so there's no pressure to lock in a date over the break. Digital vouchers land by email and can be bought right up until Christmas Day itself.
A Jet Ski Tour on the Hawkesbury River covers 30 minutes on the water in New South Wales, no licence or previous experience required.
A Guided Coopers Brewery Tour and Beer Tasting in Adelaide walks him through the brewing process before a proper tasting to finish.
A Hibachi Steak and Native Flavours Masterclass in South Australia has him cooking his own steak tableside, with native flavours and a cook's apron to take home.
A Darwin Harbour Jet Ski Tour covers 45 minutes exploring the Top End by water, with a drink included at the end.
An American BBQ Meat Platter for 2 in Victoria's Red Hill covers a proper spread of slow cooked meat, built for sharing.
An Unlimited Brazilian BBQ Feast for 2 in Sydney gives him a new benchmark for his own barbecue, with meat carved tableside.
Yes. RedBalloon gift vouchers are delivered by email and can be bought right up until Christmas Day, so a last minute Christmas gift for Dad is never really last minute.
A RedBalloon gift card lets him browse the full range and pick his own experience; in whatever amount you'd like to gift.
