Because Dad’s Sense of Humor Deserves a Cheeky Treat
Father’s Day is all about celebrating the man who taught us everything – from how to fix a wobbly chair to how to tell a joke that makes everyone groan (in a good way). So, in honour of the kings of cringe and the masters of the pun, here’s a collection of our favourite dad jokes to help you and Dad share a laugh this Father’s Day (even if it’s through gritted teeth).
Before we dive in, take a peek at our full Father’s Day Gift Hampers collection for even more gift ideas.

FAQ's about Father's Day
When is Father’s Day in New Zealand this year?
Father’s Day in NZ falls on the first Sunday of September – mark your calendars, set a reminder, tattoo it on your hand… whatever it takes not to forget the man who taught you how to reverse park (kind of).
Do you deliver on Father’s Day?
As much as we love the idea of a Sunday delivery surprise, our couriers take the day off for Dad too. That’s why we aim to deliver by the Friday before. We’ll pop a cheeky “No Peeking Until Father’s Day!” note on top of the shipping box – because good things come to those who wait (and resist temptation).
What if I don’t know what my dad likes?
If he eats, drinks, or laughs – you’re covered. Our hampers range from beer-and-snack feasts to chocolatey goodness to whisky-soaked luxury to cheese and wine... There’s something for every kind of dad – even the mysterious, snack-sneaking kind.
Can I add a personal message?
Yes! Add your note on the gift hamper page before you add it to cart and we’ll pop it in the box.
Do you deliver NZ-wide?
Yep – whether Dad lives in Auckland, Invercargill, or somewhere that Google Maps has to think twice about, we’ve got it covered.
Can I build my own hamper?
We don’t officially offer build-your-own (yet!), but our Add-On Extras section lets you throw in a little somethin’ extra. Think fudge, brandy, olives – the works.
What happens if Dad’s not home when it’s delivered?
No worries – we don’t leave gifts in awkward spots. Couriers will follow standard procedures (like leaving a calling card or leaving it somewhere safe), and we always include tracking so you can keep an eye on your dad-tastic delivery.
