It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Every year Australians spend so much time and money during the best season of the year, Christmas! It’s usually hot, crowded, full or great presents, yummy food and the best time of the year for the whole family. This year at DadShop, we’ve put together a really great list of Christmas gift ideas for 2023. With the creation of this wonderful gift guide, we hope to save you time in finding the perfect present.

Why We Buy Christmas Gifts?
Besides being everyone’s favourite day of the year, Christmas is celebrated by everyone around the world in slightly different ways. However, everyone buys and receives presents on this day. The most popular history of why we buy presents is from the Wise Men who bought baby Jesus gifts on this day.
In today’s celebration, it has become so much more than just a gift. It’s the gathering of family, the big feast (turkey for some), awesome Christmas tree decorations, hanging your Christmas stockings, Christmas lights, mistletoe, and the list will continue forever if we don’t end it there. Charismas is just THE most important day for so many people of all ages, genders and religions.
What’s The Best Christmas Gift Idea For Men?
Before you run out and buy your male friend a Christmas gift, ask yourself if that gift will make him happy. Will he use it? How you determine if it’s a good gift is how many times they’ll use it. Unless you get a novelty gift, then it’s worth thinking about.
If you’re stuck and out of ideas for a guy's Christmas present, then look no further, as we have hundreds of the best Christmas gifts for men, and we can accommodate almost any budget. With so many categories, like shop by personality, you can find gifts for your boyfriend or husband. We have cool presents just for grandad and some of Australia's best Christmas gifts for dads.

What Are Cool Christmas Gifts For Dad?
There are only a few things that most dads love receiving; here's a short list; Beer, BBQ, tools and lots of cool stuff for his man cave. These are the types of gifts that we have at DadShop. If you want to get your dad a unique Christmas gift, get a head start by looking through our Christmas gift guide above.
Will My Christmas Gifts Arrive on Time?
The trick to getting your pressies on time is to start shopping early. If you live in a country / regional area, then shopping early is imperative to get your gifts in time. Check our FAQ or contact us if you have any concerns about delivery times. If you live in a major city or town, shopping for your gifts online shouldn't be delayed. However, we always recommend shopping ahead by at least 3 weeks to when you require them. If you find the best Christmas pressies early, then don't wait too long to buy them.
Should I Wrap My Gifts?
There are not a lot of discussions on this topic, but it should be discussed often. Some people like to save the planet and not use wrapping paper, and some people feel that without the Christmas wrapping paper and bow, it just wouldn’t feel the same. Either way, you should decide for yourself. You can always reuse old wrapping paper, reuse gift bags and boxes or simply don’t wrap your gifts at all.
There’s perfectly nothing wrong with not wrapping your gifts. In fact, reuse whatever you have at home because you’ll be amazed at how much stuff you have that you just forgot you had.
How To Shop Online For A Christmas Gift?
Shopping at DadShop is extremely easy because we have unique Christmas gifts for everyone on your list. Use the categories or themes in our menu above. You can also shop by price range. Pick your gift and check the dispatch times. Most items will indicate how long it will take us to pack and send your gift(s). Please note while we have almost everything you can think of we don't sell homemade Christmas gifts.
Of course, buying gifts at least 3 weeks before Christmas day is advised, but not everyone listens to good advice, so here are our general Christmas cut-off times. Official cut-off times will be released closer to Xmas day.
Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas

Frequently Asked Questions About Christmas Gift Ideas
Can I Regift My Presents?
Of course, you can! There are no rules when it comes to regifting. The only thing you should consider before regifting is how suitable is the gift for the new recipient. Is it age or gender appropriate? Most people often regift to others whom they are not familiar with. You should also make sure you are not regifting back to the person whom you have received it from.
How Much Should I Spend On Gifts?
The answer is as much as you feel comfortable with. With our current economic climate, it can be rather tough on our wallets to buy a unique gift for everyone that we know. Try to prioritise your budget for people you are close to and make a separate budget for people you are not familiar with. Or if you can avoid buying them a gift altogether, you should.
Here's a quick guide to how much you should spend on Christmas gifts depending on the person.
- Your partner / wife - $100 (This amount can be higher if your budget allows)
- Family members - $50
- Close friends - $30 - $50
- Acquaintances- $20
- Coworkers - $20
- Other people whom you don't know well - $10 or regifting
How Do I Save Money On Presents?
Here are a few quick tips on saving some money on your presents this year.
- Buy gifts on sale - For example, on Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day or End of Financial Year Sales.
- Combine Shipping - Buy gifts from one store (like DadShop) and combine other gifts for people for 1 shipping fee
- Buy from overseas - This is great if you buy often from China or other countries. Not recommended if it's your first time
- Regifting - When you get an unwanted gift, you can re-gift it.
- Buy in bulk - Sometimes you can get a 2 for 1 deal, or buy 2 and get a 3rd free deal.
How can I make my gift memorable?
If you need some creative ways to make your presents more memorable, then here are a few tips we can help you with.
- Use a Christmas gift tag. This can be handmade or bought. A DIY tag can look very cool if done properly
- Use cool wrapping paper. Often an overlooked aspect, but a cool or textured wrapping paper can make your gifts stand out.
- Use a gift box instead of wrapping paper.
- Write out their name in a nice calligraphy font. Print it out or write it by hand to make it pop.
- Think carefully about the person you are buying the gift for. Often a gift that they will use and like will be more memorable.
- Buy a couple of smaller gifts to make your own themed gift or hamper.
What To Do If You Are Buying Gifts Very Late?
Life can get in the way of things, and we might forget to buy gifts on time. If this is the case, we highly recommend that you don't shop online. Online gifting can have delays, especially when it's closer to Christmas (25th December). We suggest going retail for your gift ideas or regifting when needed. However, if it's late, don't panic. Your ideal gift can be found at your local shops, which include your supermarket. Often a bag of coffee from a local café can be a great idea. When you have less time to spare, you must get more creative and think of all the local shops at your disposal. The right Christmas present might be around the corner.
Are The Best Christmas Gift Ideas Only Online?
The answer is Yes and No! The internet might have an unlimited amount of websites and resources; however, what makes for the best presents comes from the heart. The best does not mean appropriate. Before you shop online or via brick-and-mortar. Think of your recipient and what gifts might make them happy, or might find useful, or might use daily, or melt their hearts. Once you have figured this out, then finding the best place to buy this gift is up to you, no matter which avenue you
