GIFTS FOR DAD BY PERSONALITY TYPE

Hello, and welcome to Experience Days' ultimate Father’s Day gift guide for 2020! No two dads are the same, and that’s what makes it so difficult to find a gift as unique as he is. 

That’s where we come in! Look no further to find your perfect Father’s Day gift for Dad, no matter what he’s like or what he loves to do.  



Cool Father’s Day Gifts 2020


Looking for a Father’s Day gift for a cool dad?

He’s got a fashionable haircut, all the latest tech and every television streaming platform available. He knows the difference between Snapchat and Tik Tok … but he prefers to go without either, because he’s “unplugged” like that. He answers the question “Nice jacket, where did you get it?” with “Oh, this? It’s limited edition.”

Basically, he’s cool. He might even be a bit cooler than you. (Sorry.) So what do you buy for the man who has everything he needs and more? 

We think a great option is to gift him with a once-in-a-lifetime experience he’ll never forget. Check out our top experience gifts for cool dads below:


Vegan Pop Up Dinner Experience in Cape Town - R 399



… Well, of course Dad loves vegan food. He’s ahead of the game like that! 

During this incredible pop-up dinner experience, Green Point Village residents Patrick and Karen serve their guests the intimate vegan dinner party of dreams. 

The menu varies depending on what seasonal ingredients are available, but typically includes both savoury and sweet dishes, a welcome drink, vegan cheeseboard and tea/coffee. Past menus have featured chilled pea and mint velouté, vegan lox, apple crumble with almond cream, caramel panna cotta and handmade chocolate truffles.

The small, social setting lends itself to conversation… so Dad might even come away with a few plant-based friends!


One Hour Stand Up Paddleboarding Lesson in Cape Town - R 490




The ultimate day out for cool dads who love to try new things, this stand up paddle boarding lesson will introduce Dad to this fun and accessible water sport!

He’ll enjoy an hour-long lesson in Bloubergstrand’s stunning Big Bay, overlooked by Table Mountain. If he’s never tried the sport before, he’s in good hands, as all equipment is provided along with expert instruction from the area’s most established school. 

After getting to grips with the fundamentals of SUP and equipped with his board and paddle, Dad will learn how to adopt the correct stance and maintain balance on his board whilst propelling himself across the water.

While absorbing the stunning natural beauty all around him, Dad will get to grips with the unique sport of SUP and is likely to be hooked from here on out!


Supercar Driving Experience - R 2999



If Dad has always dreamt of taking his favourite supercar for a spin, this track day is the perfect way to make those dreams come true on Father’s Day!

This supercar experience day is available at either Zwartkops Raceway or Killarney Racing Circuit, so Dad can pick the track that suits him.

When arriving at the track, Dad can choose from the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430, Nissan GTR, Porsche GT3 and more!

No matter which vehicle he picks, he'll leave his track day with a huge smile across his face. 



Sophisticated Father’s Day Gifts for Dad

Look no further for Father’s Day gifts for the classy, sophisticated dad. 

He’s got a wine-rack filled with a curated selection, a shelf of classic literature which he actually reads, he wears well-cut jackets and French-tucks his shirts.

The classy Dad can be the hardest to buy for – after all, he’s a man of specific tastes, so how are you expected to keep up?

Look no further. We think the following experience gifts will make your dad smile on Father’s Day (and for years to come…)

Ultimate Pamper Day for Men in Johannesburg - R 1500




If there’s anyone who understands the importance of self-care, it’s the classy dad. 

This indulgent spa day for men in Johannesburg is the perfect way for Dad to relax and enjoy a day of pampering, making him feel recharged and ready to conquer the world like the Superdad he is!

This highly reputable traditional barbering establishment offers a range of treatments to an exclusively male clientele, so they know a thing or two about men’s grooming!

Dad will receive a sports pedicure and manicure, a relaxing facial, a brand new haircut and style, and a classic shave. All products used are specifically formulated for men, and have been carefully selected by the lounge’s highly-qualified therapists to give the best experience possible.


Wine Tasting For Two at Val Du Charron in Wellington - R 98



… Not that Dad needs any further help with his knowledge of wine, but if he fancies a day out to enjoy more of his favourite drink, this wine tasting experience in Wellington is the perfect Father’s Day gift. 

This indulgent wine tasting takes place at the award-winning Val Du Charron Wine Estate in Wellington, less than an hour outside of Cape Town. With scenic mountain views, three wine blends to taste, and a range of activities to enjoy at the estate, Dad can easily spend a whole day relaxing or exploring. 


Adventure Gifts for Father’s Day

He’s the fun dad! He’s not ashamed to sing along badly to the radio and get all the words wrong. He dances even though he knows he looks silly. His jokes are many, and very rarely make sense. He brings joy wherever he goes.

So, what do you buy for the life of the party?

We think he’ll be more than happy with one of the unique experience days below:


Exclusive Helicopter Tour and Shark Dive in Cape Town - R 18100


This private helicopter tour and shark dive in Cape Town is a Father's Day gift that Dad won't be forgetting in a hurry!

If he's an adrenaline junkie, this is perfect for him. 

Starting at the V&A Waterfront, Dad's luxury adventure begins with a quick safety briefing from the pilot before being strapped in for take-off. Flying towards Gansbaai, Dad will have unparalleled views of Table Mountain and the city below, before touching down by the coast surrounded by excited onlookers. 

The boat will be ready and waiting, sailing out to shark territory where he'll get the opportunity to dip below the surface, and watch these majestic creatures glide through the water! 

The private helicopter and pilot will be prepared for the return journey as soon as Dad's back on land, so he gets to experience the thrill of a vertical take-off all over again on his trip back to the Waterfront.


One Hour Archery Experience For Two in Pretoria - R 440


One thing we know about fun dads is they're always up for taking part in a new and unusual experience! 

This archery experience in Pretoria is an excellent day out for Dad. 

He'll begin his archery experience in the picturesque town of Cullinan, where he'll meet his expert instructors. They'll show him how to properly hold the bow, nock the arrow and fire at the target. 

These are the same bows as those used in the Olympic Games, and the instructors are always on hand, so by the end of the hour Dad should see a significant improvement in overall aim and accuracy!


High Speed RIB Ride at The V&A Waterfront - R 600




It's difficult to find something more fun than speeding along the V&A waterfront in a RIB! 

Dad will begin his experience at the dive shop, complete his paperwork and be taken through a safety briefing. 

Next, he'll head to his ride... the Gemini 850 RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). Setting off towards Granger Bay, he'll pass Sea Point and Clifton as the boat speeds along the waves and breathes in the medicinal sea air!

During his thrilling RIB ride, he'll also spot some of the Cape's most iconic landmarks, including Lion's Head and the Twelve Apostles. He may even have the opportunity to spot a variety of marine wildlife, including penguins, seals, dolphins, sunfish and even whales!




Artistic Gifts for Father’s Day

The creative Dad expresses his imagination in a variety of ways… he might be a painter, a writer or someone who just lives life a little bit differently! Whatever his artistic outlet, treat him to a creative experience day. 


2 Hour Mosaic Workshop For Two in Cape Town - R 399




The perfect artistic experience for creative dads! Treat Dad to a 2 hour mosaic workshop to take part in an art-form he might not have tried his hand at before. This voucher is for 2 people - so you might even get to go along with him... 

During this mosaic session, Dad will learn all about this unique art form and how to make it his own. Each participant will receive a bag of mixed tiles and a shaped cement base. Using the glue and tile cutter provided, Dad will then create his own intricate pattern or design - if necessary, taking inspiration from artworks around the room and the advice of the experienced teacher. After two hours, he'll leave with your completed piece - to be displayed proudly, or given as unique and personal gift.


Creative Flower Arranging Workshop Gauteng - R 1550


Who says dads can't enjoy some flower arranging? Chances are if Dad's the creative type, he has an eye for beautiful things. 

Indulge his artistic ability with this flower arranging class in Gauteng, taking place in an experienced florist's studio. He'll be provided with all the necessary materials, then he can really let his creativity flow!

During the workshop, Dad will relax and enjoy the calm sense of achievement that working with flowers brings. The expert florist will be on hand at all times to help Dad perfect his arrangement, focusing on the floristry style and designs that interest him most. He's sure to pick up a few tips and tricks from teacher, all while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of being creative.
