Gift ideas for Dad under $20

Three cheers for BBQ season

Jumbuck 3 Piece BBQ Tool Set

With Father's Day at the start of BBQ season, grabbing a grill-friendly gift is a no-brainer. Help Dad retire his charred old tools with a sturdy set made to flip, fork and flame up a feast. The easy-to-clean stainless steel trio has comfort-grip handles, a spatula that scrapes down the hotplate and a built-in bottle opener. 

The bank of Dad

Click 5000mAh Power Bank

Forget FOMO, now it’s nomophobia we’re feeling as we watch the phone battery percentage get way too close to zero. That makes this a pocket-sized gift of peace of mind for Dad or Grandpa, and you can’t put a price on that. Use it to top up one or two devices on the go, then recharge it via Micro USB or USB-C (cable not included).

The hobbyist’s little helper

Flashy power tools get all the attention, but a rotary tool is the unsung hero, built for those fiddly jobs you want done well – think engraving, sanding, polishing, grinding and sharpening. It’s also a tidy alternative to a drawer full of single-purpose gadgets. Compatible with the full Dremel accessory range, this is just the start of Dad’s dream collection.

Look after the family tree

Fiskars Titanium Lopper and Pruner Set

Dad keeps the family thriving, and this two-in-one buy does the same for the backyard. With the roses and fruit trees begging for a late-winter prune, these essential garden tools can go straight to work. The titanium-coated blades cut branches up to 38mm (lopper) and stems up to 16mm (pruner) in one clean pass. And with a little TLC, they’ll keep cutting like new for years.

Make an entrance

Blink HD Video Doorbell System

A video doorbell probably wasn’t your first thought for the dad who has everything, but you have to admit it’s a real bell-ringer. It lets Dad answer the door from anywhere – the shed, the comfy chair, the fishing spot – with clear video and two-way audio. It’s quick to install and set up, and there's no subscription needed for everyday use, including local clip storage.

Fuel his passion

Armorall 'Podium Series’ Car Clean and Detail Gift Bucket

If Dad enjoys cleaning the car almost as much as he loves motorsport, you’re onto a winner with this three-piece kit. Developed with the Oracle Red Bull Racing team, the products combine for a premium car care routine with an impressive finish. There’s a hybrid ceramic car wash and wax, gloss-boosting exterior detail spray to protect between washes, and interior detail spray to refresh and guard against UV damage.

Send him outside

Whether Dad already sees himself as a serious outdoor chef or needs a delicious new hobby, this gift sends all the right smoke signals. The multi-functional drum design suits smaller spaces and means it can even come along on camping trips. With heaps of BBQ and smoker tips and ideas to get him started, you’re all in for a flavour-packed season of juicy, smoky goodness.

The mower, the merrier

Ryobi 18V ONE+ 37cm HP Brushless Lawn Mower 4.0Ah Kit

Introduce the family’s lawn mowing pro to the cordless mower. With a push-button start, no pull cord, no fumes and quiet enough for early starts, it’s the kind that keeps Dad happily in charge of the lawn. Easy to store and carry, this kit is a whiz on smaller lawns – for larger ones, it has a battery bay for a spare, so you’re all set for summer lawn care. And because every tool runs on the one fast-charging battery, the more excuses he has to grow his Ryobi ONE+ collection, the better.
