Top Father's Day gifts to avoid and better alternatives
Gifts your dad might actually like this Father's Day. Image: RDNE Stock project / Pexels It's Father's Day on Sunday, and if you've left your shopping to the last minute, we have a few gift ideas for you. But before you head to the shops, there are a few gifts that you might want to give a miss this year because, while well-meaning, they often just end up collecting dust or, even worse, regifted to one of your uncles. First up are socks. Nothing says 'I had no idea what to get you' like a pair of socks. Don't you think he has enough socks by now? Next on the list are those prepackaged, cheap cologne sets. It might seem like a winner because who doesn't like to be spoiled with new cologne, but unless you know exactly what cologne he likes, this gift will probably go unused. Now, let's talk about those 'Best Dad' mugs. How many of those mugs does he need, and how often have you seen him use them? They're just dust collectors with handles. This one might not apply to everyone, but if your dad already owns slippers and a gown, there's no need to get him any more. Winter is in full swing, so why not invest in some good quality thermal underwear instead? Your dad doesn't need another mug. Image: RDNE Stock project / Pexels Now that you know what not to get dad this Father's Day, here are a few gift ideas that he might actually like. If your dad loves spending time in front of the TV, why not buy him a subscription to streaming platforms like Netflix or Showmax? This will give him easy access to hundreds of movies and series for him to binge-watch. For something a little different, gift him an experience. Think of live sporting events, beer tasting tours or tickets to see his favourite artist in concert. If he's the fit, outdoorsy type, then a walk along a beautiful hiking trail is something he would enjoy. Now, this might not sound like a typical male gift, but even dads need a bit of pampering now and then. Treat him to a full-body massage or spa day at a local wellness centre. Even dads need to be pampered once in a while. Image: Tima Miroshnichenko / Pexels If you're stuck and still have no idea what to buy him, then simply ask him. Many dads are happy to just spend quality time with their children, while others simply want to be left to do nothing all day! IOL Lifestyle

Didi Bizzarro to re-enact grandfather's iconic stunt at Gas Motorshow 2025
This June, international stuntman Didi Bizzarro will bring a historic car stunt back to South Africa, marking 50 years since his grandfather first performed it at the Rand Show in 1975. The stunt will be a highlight of the Gas Motorshow 2025, taking place in Durban over Father's Day weekend, June 14 to 15. Bizzarro, known for his work in films such as Fast X, John Wick and Red Notice, described the event as a personal milestone. 'To honour my grandfather by bringing this stunt back to South Africa — precisely 50 years later — is something I'll never forget. There's history behind it, but also a challenge: to do it justice with today's precision and showmanship. I want it to be a real Father's Day experience, not just for my family, but for everyone watching.' The motorshow will also feature freestyle motocross displays from riders including Jacques Roema and Monster Energy's Dallen Goldman. Attendees can view a variety of vehicles, ranging from JDM models and classic customs to stanced builds and drag racers. The Sound Off competition will return with internationally ranked judges, and several prominent figures from South Africa's car community will be present. Event hours are 9am to midnight on Saturday and 9am to 11pm on Sunday. Tickets cost between R300 and R1,500, with free entry for children under ten and discounted rates for pensioners. Tickets are available at Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets nationwide.

Fathers and sons bond at ‘Knipmes' braai
With Father's Day around the corner, Laerskool Totiusdal held a special Knipmes braai for fathers and sons this weekend, accommodating more than 600 attendees. 'Knipmes' refers to a pocket knife used to cut the braai meat right from the grill. Fathers and sons alike had several grills and smokers to choose from different meats. Games, raffles, stalls and competitions were among the activities at the braai this weekend, the second annual braai held at the school. Deputy Principal of Laerskool Totiusdal, Stefan van Staden, said the braai not only serves as a fundraising event for the school but also provides a bonding experience for fathers and sons. 'Last year we had about 300 people and 13 sheep, and this year it was about 600 and 19 sheep on the spit braai. We'd like to thank our sponsors, the men who came out to help today and the community as well. We can't thank them enough for the support they give to the school,' Van Staden said. Residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for more events that the school will be hosting throughout the rest of the year. The next event is a mother-daughter night.
