Budget camp gear, tech sales, and Prime day: 10 top buys for Father's Day
Box Of Wine's Father's Day gift box is just one of our favourite buys this week.
Nothing says Father’s Day like a little bonding time and you can plan a budget getaway by stocking up on camp gear for your next family staycation. Lidl has pop-up tents on sale for €24.99 from tomorrow and Aldi has camp chairs (€19.99), airbeds (€12.99), an electric cooler box (€49.99), and lanterns (€4.99) in store from tomorrow too.
Ireland’s first taste-tailored wine subscription service Box Of Wine is offering a special Father’s Day bundle this week. The gift box (€62.95) includes a bottle of fine champagne or boutique wine, a luxurious natural shaving brush, Dalkey handmade shaving soap, luscious Skelligs Chocolates, socks from the Irish Sockciety, and a limited edition insulated tumbler. Order by June 17 at 1pm for delivery outside of Dublin and before 5pm on June 18 for Dublin deliveries.
If your gift recipient is more of a tech guy, Currys PC World currently has a sale online and in-store to celebrate Father’s Day. Our favourite bits include the Bose QuietComfort wireless noise-cancelling headphones (€259.99 down from €299.99), the Samsung Galaxy active watch (€149 down from €239), and the Oral B Vitality electric toothbrush. (€29.99 down from €49.99). Shop in store and at www.currys.ieÂ
Vixi is a contemporary Irish gifting agency that adds a vibrant and modern twist to the trusty gift box. The expert team usually does the hard work for you and curates a box for a special day, but just in time for Father’s Day, it's launched a custom section.
You simply pick the box you’d like, choose from a range of products such as chocolates, mugs, notebooks, and coffee and tea, and get the box delivered to the old man's door. Prices start at €35. Shop at www.vixigifting.com Allow two to four days for delivery.
While we’re on the topic of tech, smart tags are the way forward for that person in your life that loses everything. You simply attach the tag to your keys, put it in a wallet, or leave it in a bag and your phone will track the item for you.
Tile was the original market holder, and it has even sticky tags that you can place on any item (€39.99 for two), but Samsung and Apple have also recently got in on the game.
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTags are only €29.90 and they can also control various smart home devices. Apple’s Airtags are on the more expensive end, at €35, and don’t come as a key ring like Tile and Samsung’s options, but they do track via GPS, so you can lose things far further afield and never have to worry. Find in any large electrical store and online.
The Irish Sockciety has an adorable range of Father’s Day socks on their website, as well as a four-pack Father’s Day combo on sale for €36. Our favourites are the Gaelic football and golf socks. If you buy three pairs before Sunday, you'll also get a pair free with the code CLASSDAD. Shop at www.irishsocksciety.comÂ
