Skip the tie. Dads come in all shapes and sizes, ours included, and
every single one of them deserves better than another mug. This is
the full Fathers Day gift guide, built around what
dads actually use: swim briefs, hooded towels, dad caps, socks and
stubby holders, all in prints he will not find anywhere else. If you
are the one who sorts out Fathers Day every single year without fail,
consider this your shortcut.
Shop By Dad
The Genuine Swimmer: laps, ocean, the lot. Start
with best selling swim
briefs, built for performance and racing as much as the beach.
The Beach Dad: towel over one shoulder, esky in the
other hand. A hooded towel
with a kanga pocket and a dad cap
covers him completely.
The Dad Who Has Everything: go for a laugh instead
of a guess. Socks or a
stubby holder with a clip he can
hook onto his Smugglers is impossible to already own.
The Sporting Dad: browse the
NRL and
AFL collabs for the dad who
never misses a game.
Build A Gift He Cannot Already Own
One pair of swim briefs is a great gift. A pair of swim briefs, a
matching stubby holder and a pair of socks in the same print is a
genuinely great gift, and the kind that gets a photo sent to the
family group chat. Mix and match across the guide to build a bundle
that suits his budget without any of it feeling like an
afterthought.
Make It A Family Thing
Families that smuggle together, stay together. If Fathers Day
doubles as a family get together this year, our
matching family pyjamas and
family smuggling range
let the whole crew match, dad included, for the photo everyone
actually wants to take.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Fathers Day gift for a dad who has everything?
A distinctive pair of swim briefs or a hooded towel with a kanga
pocket is an easy win for a dad who already has the basics covered.
Our best sellers are a safe starting point if you are not sure which
print to pick.
Can I buy a gift bundle for Fathers Day?
Yes. Pair swim briefs with matching socks, a stubby holder or a dad
cap for an easy gift bundle without needing to guess a full outfit.
How do I know what size to get him?
If you are unsure of his size, his usual underwear size is generally
a safe match for swim briefs. Check our
mens sizing guide for a full breakdown
across the range.
What do most fathers want for Fathers Day?
Research consistently shows most dads want simple, practical things
over expensive gestures, useful everyday items he will actually reach
for rather than something that sits in a drawer. A pair of Budgy
Smugglers, a cap or a stubby holder hits that brief exactly: genuinely
useful, but with a print that makes it feel like a proper gift rather
than an afterthought.
What if I do not know his favourite print?
A best seller is always a safe bet, but if you want to let him choose,
a Budgy Smuggler gift card takes the guesswork out completely.
Can the whole family match for Fathers Day?
Yes. Our pyjamas and
family smuggling ranges
are designed to work across mens, womens and kids sizing, so everyone
can match if you are getting together as a family.
When is Fathers Day in Australia?
Fathers Day in Australia falls on the first Sunday of September each
year. Order ahead of time to make sure your gift arrives before then.
