Our Father’s Day Gift Boxes

Every box below is a Father’s Day gift box ready to send, packed with food and drink from New Zealand makers and finished by hand.

What to Get Dad for Father’s Day

Not sure what to get Dad? The simplest answer is something he can use and enjoy, not something that sits on a shelf. A good Father’s Day gift matches what he already likes, so picture how he spends a slow Sunday. The beer drinker, the coffee ritualist, the one who raids the pantry for something sweet, there is a box here built around each of them.

If Dad is hard to buy for, or the type who says he wants nothing, food and drink is the safe choice. It gets used, it never adds clutter, and a box of treats from small New Zealand makers gives him something he probably has not tried, which makes it a more thoughtful and unique gift than another voucher. For the dad who insists he needs nothing, our guide to gifts for a dad who wants nothing goes deeper.

We pick every box on one test. Is it practical, useful, and something Dad will actually reach for.

Gifts from Dad’s Region

Want to give Dad a taste of home? Every maker we work with is a small New Zealand producer, so a gift box of their food and drink is a present with a story behind it, not something off the shelf at a chain store.

Our makers are spread right across the country, from the top of the North Island to the deep south. That means you can choose a box that connects to a place Dad knows, the region he grew up in, the spot he escapes to every summer, or the city he calls home, whether that is Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch. Wherever he is, we deliver to his door anywhere in New Zealand.

It is the kind of gift that shows you were paying attention. Browse all our gift boxes to find the one that feels like Dad.

A Present for Every Kind of Dad

Dads come in all kinds, so the right present depends on the one you have. Here is where to start.

For the beer lover, a beer gift box pairs craft brews from independent New Zealand breweries with snacks made to go alongside them. For the dad who knows his wine, a wine gift box brings together a local drop and the good things to share it with.

Not every dad drinks, and that should never make him harder to buy for. Our non-alcoholic Father’s Day gift boxes work on the same idea, really good food and drink without the booze, from sparkling pressed juices to coffee, chocolate and savoury treats.

And for the dad who is happiest grazing, a foodie box is a spread of sweet and savoury from small producers, the sort of present that disappears over a good weekend.

Every one of these is a present Dad gets to enjoy, not another thing to dust.
