Father’s Day Gift Ideas

{Sponsored by Target}

With Aussie Dad’s celebrating Father’s Day in just over a week, we have been shopping to find gifts for the Man of the House. We have been painting our home over the past few months. The study will be one of the next rooms tackled, so we thought it would be fun to find a few items to modernise the study area. Rose gold, marble, monochromatic, and geometric are popular homeware trends. We found some great, affordable items that will look fantastic in the study.

The bronze clock with marble effect face, is a classic piece that will work well with the black and white study. The marble effect planter complements the clock. We found a lovely miniature palm for the pot. The desk lamp is nice and sturdy with a metal base and can be easily adjusted to focus the light where you need it.

Dad loves double chocolate chip muffins, so we baked a batch and they are in the freezer, all ready for breakfast in bed on Fathers Day.
