Fatherhood is beginning to outgrow the old stereotypes. Once upon a time we'd file dad into cliches like "BBQ king" or "golfer dad." Don't get us wrong, those are still perfectly good and legitimate hobbies, but let's be honest: dads today are more hands-on with family life than any generation before them. They're doing the school run, taking the night shifts, and juggling work with everything else.
Which is exactly why the best Father's Day gifts needn't be the biggest, newest or most elaborate. More often than not, the gifts that land are the ones that fit into everyday routines. This Fathers Day we’re inviting you to think more carefully,start with the person dad actually is. Look at how he spends his days and what he genuinely enjoys. Get this right and the gift almost chooses itself.
Here's the Fressko guide to finding the perfect Father's Day gift for every kind of modern dad.
The one taking the morning shift so mum can recover from an all-nighter. He's at the coffee shop before the sun's up, pushing the pram around the block during the purple crying phase or mastering the art of doing almost everything one-handed.
What used to be a leisurely morning coffee is now something grabbed somewhere between feeds and nappy changes. Hot coffee suddenly being less of a luxury and more a survival tool.
That’s exactly why the Camino Reusable Coffee Cup earns its place in the new-dad kit. It’s easy to take on the go, fits in pram cup holders and is insulated to keep his brew hot for up to three hours, giving it a fighting chance of being warm by the time he gets around to drinking it.
Who, if he's not coaching the school soccer team, is on the sidelines, rain, hail or shine. A Venti Tumbler holds 20oz of liquid, giving it the capacity to get through long stretches without a refill. Whilst traditionally a cup for iced drinks with its flip lid opening and titanium straw, the Venti is also compatible with a Camino/Grande cup lid, making it an ideal option for hot drinks too. Insulated to keep drinks hot for up to 3 hours and cold for 12.
Some dads don't just drink coffee, others have opinions about it. He cares about his beans, and for him, the vessel matters almost as much as what goes inside it. The Ceramic Piccolo Cup is a fitting choice. Ceramic offers a clean drinking experience that lets the coffee do the talking, while its compact size makes it portable enough to take on the commute. The ceramic piccolo reusable cup is practical enough for every day, but considered enough to still feel like a proper Father’s Day gift.
whose mornings start at an hour most people would rather not acknowledge. His tools work hard, and his coffee cup should too. A Grande Insulated Cup will survive the journey from kitchen bench to ute to worksite, while helping keep his coffee hot until smoko
The Core 1L Insulated Drink Bottle is an easy addition to the routine. It keeps water cold for up to 12 hours, is compact enough to carry without feeling cumbersome and has a handy carry handle and sip lid for easy chugging, perfect after a decent workout session.
