Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the man who’s been there through every milestone, every challenge, and every moment in between. But here’s the thing: every dad is different. Some love a gourmet feast, some can’t resist a sweet treat, and others simply appreciate a quiet moment to relax. That’s why the best Father’s Day gifts are the ones that feel like they were made just for him.
At The Complete Basketcase, we’ve curated a collection of Father’s Day hampers to suit every type of dad. Whether he’s the family chef, the wine connoisseur, the comfort-seeker, or the “I’ll share if I have to” snack hoarder, you’ll find a gift that speaks his language. Let’s explore the perfect match for your dad this Father’s Day.
Why Personalising Your Father’s Day Gift Matters
The difference between a good gift and a great gift? Thoughtfulness. When you take the time to choose something that reflects who your dad is, it’s more than just a present, but a message. It says, “I get you. I know what you love. And you deserve this.”
That’s why our Father’s Day hampers are curated with care. Each one is filled with premium, quality goodies (think artisan treats, fine wine, and indulgent snacks). You can even use our Create Your Own service to fill a hamper with only the things he loves.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Different Types of Dad
Finding the right gift starts with knowing what makes your dad tick. Is he the type who loves to have a barbie, or the one who’d rather be sipping a fine whisky while watching the footy? Maybe he’s happiest with a stash of sweet treats by his side. Whatever his style, there’s a Father’s Day hamper that’s just right for him.
Here are some Father’s Day gift ideas tailored to different types of dads—because no two dads are the same.
1. The Foodie Dad
If he’s the type who critiques restaurant menus for fun, knows exactly how long to rest a steak, and gets excited about trying new flavours, you’ve got yourself a Foodie Dad. He’ll appreciate gourmet treats that he can savour and share (or keep all to himself, we don’t judge!).

FAQs
Can I personalise my Father’s Day hamper?
