Gifts For Men in New Zealand

""So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?" Is this song, or anything by Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin the sound track to your Dad's youth? Well then he’s going to go bananas at the Stardome Observatory and Planetarium’s special upcoming presentation. Over three nights in October the Stardome will host its newest full-dome sensory experience with ultra-high resolution projections, laser beams, lighting effects and seat motion. This will all be accompanied by music from the legendary Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin in full surround sound. This is an evening for adults only (sorry young rock fans!), with the ticket price including two glasses of wine from Giesen vineyard. Identification is required. Access to the Stardome’s courtyard telescope is also offered depending on the Auckland weather (of course!) Show times: Tue 14 Oct 2014, 8:00pm–10:30pm Tue 21 Oct 2014, 8:00pm–10:30pm Tue 28 Oct 2014, 8:00pm–10:30pm Head to website for ticketing information, and do get in quick! http://www.stardome.org.nz/events/pink-floyd-led-zep-music-double-feature/"

"Most Dads are suckers for the suds, so an excursion to Brothers Beer in the City Works Depot may just make his Fathers Day the best one yet. This team really did go all out on the tap offerings, with 18 regularly changing, delicious and different beers ready and waiting for your number one Dad to taste. Savour the flavour of one brew, or tuck into a tasting rack of five beers for $25. When the hunger pains prevail (or the tasting rack gets the better of him), choose from their list of tasty wood fired pizzas, too. And if you’re thinking a ‘Dad & Associates Day Out’ (i.e. bringing the family and friends together) could be nice, then ask Brothers Beer about their group bookings and tastings - he’d love nothing more than a belly full of laughs to go with that belly full of brews."

"So your Papa likes a nip of whisky when the mood strikes, does he? Well, The Whisky Shop is where it’s at for his Fathers Day prezzie then. It can be a little overwhelming as your eyes glaze over at the layers upon layers of product in store, especially if you know next-to-nothing about Dads preferred spirit. But don’t fret, the Whisky Shop staff got their jobs because they’re incredibly passionate about their trade, and have had a night or three ‘getting to know’ their product for your benefit. And it’s not just a specialist whisky store, they also have other spirits, vouchers for their regular tastings, gift sets, a range of perfect whisky sipping glasses and accessories, and are offering special Fathers Day discounts too. A hot tip: if it’s accessible, take a cheeky photo of your Dads liquor cabinet contents to show them his preferences - they’ll choose you a bottle that’ll have him saying “oh, you totally nailed it!”"

"Forget about I Love Ugly’s five panel caps for a moment, these local lads have got racks of ritzy threads for Dads too. As we willingly wander into spring I can seriously guarantee Dad hasn’t thought once about freshening up his shirt or slack selection (it’s no fault of his, he’s just too busy!) Enter: your Fathers Day prezzy with help from I Love Ugly. Their shirt and pant designs in particular have become a whole lot more wearable for Dad’s now, more so than when the brand started out. Clean and simple design, beautifully made, super suitable for dressing up or down, with abundant accessories to match. Sure, I could have put Crane Brothers in this list instead, but really, I Love Ugly is around half the price (or less) with as much swag and credibility. Jump online and check their store locations, the perfect wardrobe item for Dad may be just around the corner."
