Affordable Father’s Day gifts under $20
The precision probe
Jumbuck Programmable Meat Thermometer
Dad’s earned his chops over many hours manning the grill, but even expert chefs can’t rest easy without a meat thermometer. It’s the best way to avoid undercooked or overcooked meat when you’re cooking a whole roast outdoors. Set your target temperature and insert the stainless-steel probe into the thickest part – it shuts off automatically after use.
The take-anywhere torch
Click Glow in the Dark Flashlights
Buying Dad this four-pack of mini LED torches is bright idea for a few reasons. They’re colourful, portable and the handles can glow so they’re easier to find in the dark. Batteries are included and the 45-lumen rating means they give 30 metres of light – handy for an emergency kit, on camping, hiking and fishing trips or for rummaging around in the shed.
The keys to the BBQ
Does your dad love to BBQ? If so, try this triple set of tools and our three steps to the perfect BBQ. The stainless-steel spatula, fork and tongs are long and sturdy, wash up well and have comfortable handles that hang for easy storage.

The gleam team
Armorall Clean and Detail Pack Gift Bucket
Help Dad clean the car with this kit that has all the basics, bucket included. There’s a large sponge and heavy-duty car wash to tackle grime, plus windscreen cleaner for sparkling glass without streaks. For good-as-new interiors, there’s protectant and a microfibre cloth. Have the kids add a handmade voucher for a free car wash down the track.
The fast fixer
Trojan 48-Piece T Handle Ratchet Set
For a notch in the belt towards becoming a handyman superhero, add this to Dad’s D.I.Y. pro toolkit. Use it to fasten flatpack furniture or fix any loose or stubbornly tight bolts and screws. The durable chrome vanadium steel bits include versatile slotted, Phillips, Torx, Hex and Pozi heads. It also has an extension bar for hard-to-reach spaces.
The blades of glory
Fiskars Hedge Shear and Pruner Set
Help Dad get the garden into great shape with these essential pruning tools. Titanium-coated to reduce friction for easier cutting, the hard-wearing blades can handle woody stems and branches up to 16mm thick. The hedge shear’s wavy design secures the stems for precise cuts without slipping.

The flavour maker
Jumbuck 3 in 1 Barrel Charcoal Smoker
If Dad’s a sucker for favourites like smoky barbecue ribs, brisket or pulled pork, let him take the reins and become a low-and-slow aficionado. A great entry-level smoker BBQ, this is easy to assemble and use. The compact size makes it great for camping and smaller outdoor spaces, too.
The upstanding choice
Pixel Pot Vertical Planting Kit
A top pick for trendsetters, downsizers and to give Dad’s knees a break, this kit lets you bring a plain wall or section of shed to life with a cascade of mounted plant pots. Gadget-loving dads can make the most of the built-in irrigation system by connecting a tap timer for automated watering.
The can-do carrier
Esky 38L Performance Hard Cooler
Every Dad needs a robust cooler they can rely on for camping, fishing and easy entertaining. Well, having one with all-terrain wheels and a telescopic pull handle is a serious upgrade. It makes it a breeze to move around whether you’re bringing a picnic to the beach or parking it in the right spot at a backyard BBQ. The lid doubles as a seat, complete with cup holders.
Great gift ideas for Dad over $100
The collection builder
This clever essentials kit is a great way to start a tool collection. Covering the basics for everyday household jobs and weekend D.I.Y., it includes screwdrivers, a claw hammer, snap-off knife, pliers and tape measure, plus a convenient storage bag.
The quiet achiever
Ozito 18V Brushless Lawn Mower Kit
Help Dad discover the joy of low-maintenance lawn mowing with this lightweight cordless electric option. Cooler, quieter and quicker to start than traditional motors, it features three cutting height settings and a 25-litre grass catcher. Tip: the 4.0Ah battery is enough to maintain a small area of about 5 x 4 metres, but for larger lawns or longer grass, having a spare on hand can stop you getting cut short.
The cook-with-gas classic
Dads have a lot in common with the modern family-size 4 burner barbecue. They’re at the heart of every outdoor get-together, making sure everyone is well-fed and happy. They’re great multitaskers (think multiple cooking zones, including a side wok burner). Go past the solid good looks (430 grade stainless steel) to find hidden depths (a cabinet for keeping the gas bottle out of the way). They’re the honest-to-goodness, what you see is what you get type (in this case, thanks to the large glass viewing window). Look after them and they’ll look after you.
