Edible Gift Ideas for Father's Day

by Joleen Gan on July 29, 2024

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to ditch the usual socks or Bunnings voucher, edible gifts are a solid upgrade. According to recent surveys, edible gifts are among the most popular gift choices for dads during Father's Day—picked by nearly 1 in 5 Australians. Whether your dad’s got a sweet tooth, loves a good snack, or considers himself a bit of a foodie, there’s an edible gift out there that’ll hit the mark.

And the best part? There’s something for every kind of dad. From over-the-top dessert boxes packed with personalised treats to savoury hampers and DIY kits the kids can get involved in, edible gifts make it easy to show Dad you know what he really wants—something he can eat. Let’s dive into the best edible gift ideas to make this Father’s Day one to remember.

Sweet Treats for the Sweetest Dads

Personalised Dessert Boxes: Think donuts spelling out "BEST DAD" or brownies topped with his favourite toppings. Here at Goldelucks, we offer customisable dessert boxes that can include a personalised message, photos, and even a confetti explosion for that extra surprise. Add your favourite memory together, or add a funny message so we can spell it on our gifts. Shop personalised Father's Day gifts.
Cookie Bouquets: Men deserve flowers too! A twist on the traditional flower bouquet, these edible arrangements feature giant loaded cookies and other treats all dads love. Add a bottle of alcohol to sweeten the deal!

Savoury Selections for the Gourmet Dad

Gourmet Cheese Hampers: Packed with a selection of fine cheeses, crackers, and condiments, these hampers are perfect for dads who appreciate the finer things. Pair it with a bottle of wine for an extra touch.
Meat Lover's Jerky Packs: For the dad who can't resist a meaty snack, a selection of gourmet beef jerky or biltong will keep him munching happily.
BBQ Spice Rub Sets: If your dad loves to grill, a set of unique spice rubs can elevate his BBQ game. Look for packs that offer a variety of flavours, from smoky to spicy.

Beverages and Boozy Delights

Craft Beer Hampers: Curated selections of local and international craft beers, often paired with snacks like nuts and jerky, make for a relaxing Father's Day treat.
Whisky Tasting Sets: For the whisky aficionado, consider a tasting set featuring samples from different distilleries. It's a great way for him to discover new favourites.
Coffee Lover's Kits: If he's more of a caffeine enthusiast, a hamper with specialty coffee beans, a mug, and perhaps a French press will perk up his day.

DIY Edible Gifts Kids Can Help Make

Homemade Cookies in a Jar: Layer the dry ingredients for his favourite cookies in a mason jar, attach a recipe card, and let him enjoy baking (and eating) them.
Personalised Chocolate Bars: Melt and mould chocolate into bars, adding his favourite nuts or dried fruits, and wrap them with custom labels.
Breakfast-in-Bed Kits: Assemble a basket with pancake mix, maple syrup, and perhaps a small bottle of juice or coffee. It's a thoughtful way to start his day.
