Last Minute Ideas To Celebrate Father's Day Virtually Or Locally
While Father's Day might look a little different than usual this year for some, there are still plenty of ways you can treat your Dad on his special day. Whether you're in lockdown together in Melbourne, practising social distancing or unable to meet up on the big day, we've got your back!
Here's some inspiration to help you celebrate Father's Day the right way.
Host a virtual brunch and order your dad's favourite meal right to his doorstep
Amidst social distancing, local food delivery and pick-up services have been our saving grace. For those who can't take their dad out for a mid-arvo Pot and Parma, why not hunt down his favourite local pub or restaurant and have a meal delivered right to his doorstep. When he receives his meal, jump on your favourite video chat app and have a chin wag together.
Live in Melbourne? Our pals at Howler in Brunswick currently have a $22 takeaway special running from Wednesday through Saturday that includes any burger, fries and craft beer can. How good is that?! More info HERE.

Make a digital mixtape of all his favourite songs
Does your dad fancy himself a music connoisseur? Or perhaps his music game is a little off. Why not make a digital mixtape filled with his favourite tracks in the form of a Spotify or YouTube Music playlist!
Need some inspiration? Check out our Father's Day playlist featuring a bunch of new and old songs you'll both love.
Buy tickets to see your dad's favourite band or discover a new band together
You might not be able to take your dad to a massive stadium show right now but that doesn't mean you can't plan ahead. Better yet, why not score some tickets to a local show happening near you and discover a new favourite band together. With live music venues across Australia and New Zealand slowly starting to ramp things up (sorry Melbournians), now is the perfect time to secure tickets. Check out some of the shows and tours on sale via Moshtix HERE.

Is your dad missing his afternoons down at the local pub sinking a couple of tinnies?
