The Father’s Day Gift Guide: Better Gifts for Dad in New Zealand
Father’s Day has a habit of sneaking up quickly. Then comes the same question every year: what do you buy Dad when he already seems to have everything?
At Gents Supply, we think the best Father’s Day gifts are the things he'll genuinely use.
A better razor. A proper beard brush. A fragrance he wouldn't normally buy himself. Better products for his hair and skin. Or simply an upgrade to something he already reaches for every morning.
Powered by years of hands-on experience across Gents Barbershops and professional hair education in New Zealand, we’ve built Gents Supply around products we believe deserve a place in a man's everyday routine.
So whether you're shopping for your dad, grandad, partner or another important gent, here are some of our favourite Father’s Day gift ideas for men in New Zealand.
For the Dad Who Takes His Shave Seriously
A good shaving setup is one of those things many men will use for years but rarely upgrade for themselves.
For a traditional wet shave, the MÜHLE Rytmo Black Fibre Safety Razor Shaving Set is a proper statement gift. The four-piece set brings the razor, brush and bowl together into one considered setup and is ideal for the dad who appreciates traditional craftsmanship and taking a little more time over his morning shave.
If he already has his own shaving setup, consider upgrading one piece of it. The MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre Shaving Brush provides a premium vegan-friendly alternative to traditional shaving brushes.
Another timeless option is the Taylor of Old Bond Street Victorian Safety Razor, combining classic styling with the traditional double-edge shaving experience.
You can also explore our full range of Double Edge Safety Razors for more traditional shaving gifts.
For the Bearded Dad
If Dad has spent months or years growing the beard, it deserves more than whatever shampoo happens to be sitting in the shower.
A simple place to start is a quality beard brush. The Kent Beard Brush is a traditional grooming tool designed specifically for maintaining facial hair and makes an easy Father’s Day gift for someone who already has his favourite beard oils and balms.
For larger beards, the Kent Monster Beard Brush is exactly what the name suggests — a substantial beard brush designed for serious facial hair.
For everyday cleansing, Proraso Green Refreshing Beard Shampoo is an easy addition to a routine without overcomplicating things.

For the Dad Who Always Has Good Hair
Hair products can make a surprisingly good Father's Day gift — particularly if you know what Dad normally uses.
For natural movement and texture, Micky Day Salt Spray adds volume and body without turning the hair into a helmet.
For styling, Formidable Aura Cream is a versatile option for men wanting a softer, more natural finish, while Formidable Bold Pomade is better suited to more controlled, classic styling.
If you're not certain which styling product is right for him, start with our complete Men’s Hair collection.
The right product depends on his hair type, density, length, desired hold and finish — which is exactly why we're big believers in choosing grooming products for the person rather than simply buying whatever is popular.
For the Dad Who Needs a Grooming Upgrade
Sometimes the best gift isn't something completely new. It's replacing the average products Dad has been using for years with something considerably better.
The Taylor of Old Bond Street Herbal Skin Moisturiser is a straightforward way to introduce better daily skincare without giving him a complicated ten-step routine.
For the bathroom, the Taylor of Old Bond Street Mixed Bath Soap – Pack of 3 takes something as basic as a daily bar of soap and makes it feel considerably more considered.
And if Dad's electric trimmer has seen better days, the Wahl Launch Trimmer is a serious grooming tool for maintaining edges, beards and facial hair at home.

For the Dad Who Likes to Smell Good
Fragrance is one of the more personal Father’s Day gifts, but when you get it right, it's one of the best.
The Captain Fawcett Barberism Eau de Parfum is a premium fragrance collaboration that fits naturally into the world of traditional men's grooming.
If you're unsure about choosing one scent, browse our complete Men's Fragrance collection and find something that fits his style.
Fragrance also works particularly well as a gift because it gives Dad something he might not normally justify buying for himself.
For the Dad Who Appreciates the Small Things
Not every Father’s Day present needs to be huge.
The Marvis Seven Flavour Toothpaste Gift Set takes one of the most ordinary parts of a daily routine and turns it into something considerably less ordinary.
For the traditional gent, the Taylor of Old Bond Street Raw Wood Military Brush is another grooming essential built around classic men's styling.
These are the sorts of gifts that work because they're useful — just better than the version Dad would normally buy himself.

Let Dad Choose With a Gents Supply E-Gift Card
Some dads are impossible to buy for.
Maybe he's particular about his fragrance. Maybe you don't know whether he uses clay or pomade. Maybe you have absolutely no idea what razor he owns.
That's exactly what the Gents Supply E-Gift Card is for.
Choose the value and let him pick exactly what he wants from Gents Supply.
It's also a strong option for a last-minute Father’s Day gift in New Zealand, particularly when you've left things slightly later than planned.
Give Him Something He'll Actually Use
Father’s Day doesn't need to mean another novelty mug, pair of socks or something destined for the back of a cupboard.
A good grooming product becomes part of Dad's everyday routine.
At Gents Supply, we bring together premium men's grooming products from New Zealand and around the world, backed by real experience from within the barbering industry.
Whether you're looking for a traditional safety razor, beard care, premium hair products, men's skincare, fragrance or a simple gift card, the aim is the same:
Give him something useful. Just make it a bloody good version of it.
