With father’s day fast approaching and New South Wales is currently in lockdown, it is hard to get your ducks in a row and find the right gifts. Each year, it feels like it's getting harder and harder. Luckily, the amazing team at Sanity has you sorted with loads of great gift ideas on their website, that will deliver right to your door. Today, I am going to tell you what the top 10 gift ideas are for your Dad this father’s day. Without further ado, here we go:

10. Crosley Cruiser Deluxe Portable Turntable – With the Music on Vinyl format now back in style, your dad will no doubt be wanting to dust off his old records, but the chances are he doesn’t have an updated and working turntable. Luckily the Crosley Cruiser Deluxe Portable Turntable is now available from Sanity! The Turntable has a beautiful, white finish to it, so it looks organic in almost every setting, no matter where you place it. The turntable has in-built speakers as well, which give all of your records a great, organic, and natural sound. With a number of classic Vinyls being re-released and even the latest tunes now releasing on Vinyl again as well, this is a great gift idea but be warned, there is a chance that your dad will be breaking out some old records and playing them on repeat, so be prepared for a few earworms.

9. Fast And Furious - Highway Heist Board Game – Chances are over the past 20 years, your dad has mentioned how much he enjoys ‘those Fast &The Furious movies’ and in April of 2021, a new board game entered the fray, incorporating the best elements of the franchise in a fun new way. The idea of the game is teamwork or ‘Family’, which elevates the game and requires you to work together to overcome the increasingly challenging scenarios you are faced with. The game is a great deal of fun and would be a great board game addition to the growing collection. Especially during the lockdown, your Dad would definitely enjoy this one.

8. Queen Live at Wembley – I am cheating a little here, incorporating two Jigsaw puzzles here, but with most of the country in lockdown, I think the whole country has a Jigsaw puzzle started and this has to be one of the most iconic music, related imagery puzzles available and therefore is a must-have. Your Dad will no doubt have stories as to the first time they either listened to Queen's albums or where they were on the day that Queen bought the house down with their ground-breaking performance at live aid. Theis puzzle is fantastic and with it being 1000 pieces each, it'll keep your Dad entertained for hours. This puzzle is a must-have for dads everywhere.

7. Jimmy Barnes Killing Time - Short Stories From The Long Road Home – The chances are your Dad is a Jimmy Branes and/or Cold Chisel fan. Jimmy Barnes has released a collection of non-fiction stories, re-capping his life, exploring love, loss, and his misadventures over his 40+ year career. This book is a must-have for Jimmy Barnes fans and is a great gift idea for Dad. This one is a page-turner and will keep your Dad occupied for days, but this gift also comes with a warning, ‘Beware as your Dad will re-cap Jimmy Barnes entire career’.

6. Star Wars Saga (Complete collection) – Blu-Ray – I can almost guarantee that everyone who is reading this, has a Dad that loves Star Wars. Ever since the franchise was rebooted in 2015, there has been a plethora of Star Wars merchandise is available. One of the best things to come out of this is that all films are now available in one collection. What better time to update your Dad’s old VHS copies of the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy than now! This collection is the perfect gift idea for your Dad, as it has updated restorations of each film which is also filled with tones of special features. This one again will keep your Dad entertained for hours!

5. Breaking Bad Series Collection – DVD – One of the biggest shows of all time is without a doubt ‘Breaking Bad; Spanning an incredible 5 seasons and a sequel film ‘El Camino’, the show has made its mark on popular culture. It is tense, well-crafted, and incredibly well-acted by the series leads Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. If your Dad hasn’t watched the show yet or he has and wants to revisit it, then this is the perfect gift idea. Each season is stacked with bonus features including commentaries, gag reels, and behind-the-scenes featurettes. This is a must-have for Breaking Bad fans and Tv fans in general!

4. Nintendo Switch Console – If your Dad was a bit of a gamer in the 1980s and 1990s chances are he was playing a Nintendo 64. In 2017 Nintendo unveiled their latest console with the Nintendo Switch and again in 2019 with their Nintendo Switch Lite.  These consoles provide gamers with a different gaming experience, relying more heavily on the interactive side of things, getting you up and moving. The console has fantastic exclusives including MarioKart, Luigi’s Haunted Mansion, and Super Smash Bros, just to name a few. This console is the perfect gift idea for Dad, with the Lite version acting as more of a portable device than the original console.

3. Game of Thrones (Complete Series) – DVD/Blu-Ray/4K UHD – Another show that Dads collectively loved was HBO’s masterpiece ‘Game of Thrones. The show is universally adored by millions of fans from around the globe and now that, the show has finished, you can re-live it, in all its glory on physical media with DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K UHD releases of the show in its entirety now available. Everyone needs to have a show on the go and I guarantee during the lockdown, your Dad has managed to smash out a few, so what better show is there than ‘Game of Thrones. All 8 seasons are available in this set, which also contains amazing special features, including: Interviews with the cast and crew, making-of shorts, and gag reels. This is a great set and an amazing gift for Dad, but again be warned, your Dad will likely be quoting the show for days after re-watching it.

2. James Bond 007 Monopoly – Another board game that is a must-have for Dads across the globe is, of course, 007 Monopoly. This version of the Parker Brothers classic Board Game is fantastic. With references to everyone’s favorite spy being included. The game provides you with the classic Monopoly gameplay, but with the added value of 007. This game is sure to start a few fights in the family, but it will be totally worth it to hear your dad do his best 007 impersonations whether it's Brosnan, Connery, or Craig, you know it’ll be great.

1.Foo Fighters: Greatest Hits Vinyl – My last selection for a father’s Day gift is Foo Fighters greatest hits album which is now available on Vinyl! This album is fantastic, featuring the bands best songs including Monkey Wrench, Learn To Fly, Best of You and The Pretender. This is a must-have for Dads everywhere, whether your dad was born from the 1950s – 1990s, chances are they are a Foo Fighters fan and what better present than a record containing their greatest hits!
