Father’s Day is on the horizon, a chance to celebrate the dads and father figures in our lives of all generations – from grandfathers to new dads. To mark the day, we’ve collated a top ten edit of thoughtful, long-lasting gifts; each a token of appreciation that will have a positive impact.

1. Rubbish Socks

Socks are a staple for Father’s Day, but these aren’t quite like any other socks. Despite the name, they are in fact high quality, cosy, and durable. But they are indeed made from rubbish. More specifically, they are made from the scraps and offcuts of knitwear that are left over from our production runs. These offcuts are then shredded and turned into socks which are completely unique, the colour dictated by the hues of the natural fibres they have been recycled from. Our Rubbish Socks are available in three sizes to suit all feet.

2. Angelo’s Wild Kitchen

A cookbook full of wholesome family recipes by the brilliant celebrity chef and restaurateur Angelo Georgalli. Angelo’s Wild Kitchen is packed with simple yet nourishing dishes inspired by Georgalli’s life spent in the great outdoors. It embraces the principles of wild cooking and fresh, locally sourced ingredients and brings them together with a stress-free, low-key approach that makes cooking truly enjoyable. A great way to get the family together round the dinner table.

3. Pua Zip Shirt

The Pua Zip is a true classic. A favourite among our designers for its timeless style, the 100% merino shirt is a perfect pick for the upcoming spring days, and it makes a great layering piece when the colder weather arrives too. With long sleeves, a quarter zip neck and a slimline fit, it will be a wardrobe staple for years to come and, because it’s made from our fine machine washable merino, it’s incredibly easy to keep it looking its best. Choose from classic black, earthy brick red, navy, graphite, and cool olive to suit their palette.

4. The Weekender

We only carry a handful of other brands, all carefully chosen for their ethics and quality, and Honest Wolf is among them. Based on a third-generation farm at Papanui Estate on the North Island, Honest Wolf, much like Untouched World, is defined by a dedication to using natural and locally sourced fibres. The Weekender travel bag is made from Papanui Estate wool and New Zealand leather, crafted to be ultra durable, with robust hardware and zips. The roomy interior is complemented by a selection of exterior and interior pockets as well as a built-in shoe compartment to keep belongings clean and fresh.

5. A5 Kite Journal

One for the jotters, journalists, sketchers, and scribblers in your life, our A5 journal is made from sustainably sourced off-white paper and bound with recycled Kraft paper printed with our iconic kite logo. The pages are sewn together for a durable, high-quality finish which makes this journal a pleasure to use.

6. Collective Canvas Bal Sneaker

The Bal sneaker is ideal for someone who likes a subtle throwback element to their outfit. Collective Canvas was inspired by 80s basketball shoes when designing this retro style, which would look great with chinos and a tee. Materials are carefully chosen - the Bal is made from ethically sourced organic cotton, natural latex and cork - and they’re incredibly comfortable too, finished with springy Eco-Ortholite insoles.

7. Colony Tee

You can’t go far wrong with a well-fitted, well-made t-shirt. The Colony Tee is made from Mountainsilk, our renowned machine washable 100% ZQRX merino fibre sourced from Glenthorne Station, which also dries quickly and needs very little ironing. Featuring a classic crew neck and an easy fit, it’s ideal for warm weather and doubles up as a breathable base layer when the temperatures drop.

8. Real World Restore Hand Cream

Real World’s balm is a wonderful remedy for hardworking hands or for people prone to dry skin. The key ingredient is New Zealand Harakeke oil, a tried and trusted traditional Maori herbal medicine, while the likes of blood orange, organic coconut oil and mango butter add extra nourishment. It’s a great gift if you’re on a budget, or as part of a thoughtful Father’s Day care bundle.

9. The Suffolk Slip-On

Woolfi is another one of the like minded brands we stock at Untouched World. These cosy slippers are made from responsibly sourced New Zealand wool and the beautiful finish is down to the hand-felting, carried out by Nepalese artisans. Finished with a suede sole, the Suffolk will mould to the wearer’s feet creating the perfect fit that will keep them warm in winter and cool in summer.

10. Cassum V Neck Sweater

Our Cassum V Neck is an all-rounder which can be dressed down with chinos and sneakers or smartened up with dress trousers and leather shoes. Beautifully soft and lightweight, Cassum is our exclusive blend of merino, premium possum, cashmere, and silk. It’s great for sensitive skin as it has no ‘prickliness’ and it’s pill resistant too so it will stay in great shape for years. Crafted in shades of ink, storm and turtle, it’s an enduring menswear staple.
