We're biased, but we think our Custom Maps make the perfect Father’s Day gift. Choose from our wide range of existing maps, create a unique custom map, or leave the decision to dad with a gift voucher.
2. West Coasters
For a smaller but equally awesome map-based gift, check out these brilliant coasters. West Coasters produce these awesome map coasters and placemats, hand crafted from pre-loved maps. We love them!
3. Wilderness Magazine Subscription
A subscription to Wilderness magazine is a gift that keeps on giving. Packed with adventure stories, gear reviews, and trip ideas, it’s an awesome resource for any tramper. Choose between print and online subscription options to suit your dad’s preferences and your budget. It’s a great way to keep him inspired all year round!
4. High-Performance Hiking Socks
Socks might seem like a classic present for dad, but comfortable feet are key in the outdoors! Treat your dad to a pair of moisture-wicking, durable hiking socks. Brands like Icebreaker and Mons offer excellent Merino wool options, designed here in New Zealand.
5. Opinel Pocket Knife
Loved by generations of Frenchmen, the Opinel is a classic pocket knife recently arrived in New Zealand and is an essential companion for any outdoor enthusiast.
