Dad’s favourite day of the year
A recent survey found almost 60% of dads actually say Father’s Day is their favourite day of the year. The footy grand final must be a close second! And the top gift dads want for Father’s Day? A phone call from their kids. Or if their kids still live at home, they want peace and quiet and to watch whatever they want on TV. Well, aren’t dads easy to please! Imagine how excited he’ll be when you surprise him with a stylish polo you got... at Lowes! So in honour of Father’s Day let’s celebrate all the funny types of dads we all know.
Sneans Dad
Made famous by Jerry Seinfeld, sneans is the combination of sneakers and jeans. Also known as daggy dad jeans and running shoes. Think dads meeting up on a Saturday arvo at the local TAB. And if the kids say, “you aren’t seriously going to get around dressed like that are you dad?” dads seem to double down and wear sneans with a false sense of being cool. You’re never going to convince dad to stop wearing sneans but you could get him to swap them for some denim shorts only $24.95 and a polo for only $12.95!
Lawn Dad
What is it with dads loving their lawn? Especially in summer. They spend hours staring at it, mowing it and having conversations with other dads about what type of fertiliser they got from Bunnings. There’s even a video game for dads entirely focused on mowing lawns. And who can forget the homeowner that interrupted our Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s press conference to tell him to get off his lawn. “Hey guys I’ve just reseeded that!” Definitely a dad! Get him a pair of traders shorts for $45 and a cougars quick-dry polo for $29.95 or activewear tees, singlets and shorts for only $24.95!
Dancing Dad
Dads love to party because every dad acts way younger than they are! And we all cringe because dads love dancing badly. Completely rhythmless movements by out-of-shape middle aged men putting out old drunk uncle vibes. They are masters of dance moves such as the ‘Honking the Horn’, ‘Mowing the Lawn’, the cringeworthy ‘Side Shuffle’ and ‘Raising the Roof’. Well let them pull out all the dad dance moves this Father’s Day and join in with Hawaiian shirts and shorts including kids sizes only $24.95!
Thick Wallet Dad
Dad’s love to stuff everything they possibly can in their wallets. Why? Well, back in the olden days people dealt with cash and receipts. Plus dads like to keep every single business card, Blockbuster membership card, and receipt that’s so old you can’t even read it, in case they might need for later. Dads wallets are so thick their jeans have the outline of it on them. That’s if they can actually fit it in their pocket at all! He’ll love a new pair of shorts for only $24.95. Just make sure to add a belt so the weight of the wallet doesn’t pull them down too much! Pair it with Bisley and Elliots shirts for only $35!
Joke Dad
Every dad thinks he’s a comedian. Yes, were talking about dad jokes. Like dad telling the kids "oh no they're comin for ya” when they hear police sirens. Or saying, ”don't spend it all in one place” after giving their kids a very small amount of money. And then there’s the very gross but oddly hilarious farting loudly for no reason. Despite the fact that he farts and then giggles in front of the kids, it always makes the whole family laugh, except for mum. Give him a licensed tee to match his humour for only $29.95
Couch Dad
I can't figure out why, but all dads fall asleep on the couch the second they sit down. They could have just had a double shot espresso, but the couch will suck all their energy. And why do dads never want to admit when they're sleeping like "I wasn’t sleeping, I was resting my eyes”. And if you try and change the TV channel they’ll wake up in an instant. Get him ready for the couch with summer pyjamas only $29.95.
Fishing Dad
All dads believe a few minor facts shouldn’t get in the way of a good fishing story. Camera phones of course changed all this because dads couldn’t lie about the size of a fish... until they figured out holding the fish up to the camera with arms stretched out makes the fish look much bigger than it is in real life. At least they’ll look good in the photo wearing fishing polos and shorts only $45 and fishing shirts for $49.95.
Funny things dads do are proof they care and want to keep their families happy. So say thank you by giving him some great Father’s Day gifts available in store and online now...
At Lowes!
