No matter the type of Father you have, I find they are notoriously hard to shop for. There are only so many socks and ties you can give him before his draw will be full. So what do you buy the man who has everything? How about a helpful gift that he can show off, use regularly, and will help keep him safe and healthy.

Father Day Gift Idea Number 1 – Fischer Weather Station

Why choose a weather instrument for Dad?

Weather instruments are great for any dad,  they can help him decide when to go out for a bike ride, fishing, do the gardening, hang out the washing, or wash the car and they make a cool talking point for when he is out with friends. They are built to last and can make a great heirloom. We recommend the Fischer Klassik Wooden Weather Staton with Barometer, Hygrometer and Thermometer because it combines three instruments in one stylish weather station.

Gift Idea Number 2 – Fischer Traditional Wood and Chrome Barometer

Why choose a barometer for Dad?

Barometers are great for any Dad who wants to keep an eye on the weather,  as the barometric pressure changes, it gives an indication of what the weather is going to do, which is perfect if you're deciding how to spend your day or weekend. The Fischer Traditional Wood and Chrome Barometer 1434b-32 is one of our best sellers, as it looks sleek and modern in any home, and the light coloured wood and chrome give it a modern feel. 

Gift Idea Number 3 – Fischer Tide Clock & Barometer Combo

Why choose a weather instrument combo for Dad?

If your father enjoys fishing, boating, yachting and getting out in the ocean then a tide clock and barometer combo is perfect for letting him optimise his time on the water. We recommend the Fischer Pascal barometer and tide clock combo 1486gu-06 so he can set it to the local tide times, and easily see when is the best time to head out on the water, or go fishing. The barometer will also help keep him safe, by identifying the possibility or rain and storms. Give him peace of mind this Fathers Day.

Make sure your Father's Day gift gets there on time:

Fathers day is on Sunday the 3rd of September this year, so it would pay to order in advance to guarantee it is there by Sunday. We find most New Zealand orders arrive in 2 - 4 business days, so to get it there by Friday 31 August we recommend you order before Tuesday the 28th of August.

For Australian orders we recommend you order by Friday 25 August to get it there on time.
