When Dad says “don’t get me anything,” get him Blys anyway. We’re saying it loud and proud—if mums have called Blys the best gift they have ever received, there’s no reason why dads should miss out on some much needed relaxation.

We’ve all heard it:

I don’t need anything.

Just a quiet afternoon, thanks.”

Save your money, kiddo.

Classic Dad, right? But deep down, every father wants to feel appreciated. And if your dad already has the grill, the gadgets, a jar of Vegemite (questionable, but we’ll roll with it), and dare we even mention the overpacked drawer of socks that’s seen too many winters, it’s time to switch things up.

This Father’s Day on September 7 2025, forget the last-minute socks and novelty mugs. Instead, give him something he didn’t realise he needed, but hinted at, a lot of times: a proper break. Here’s your guide to the best Father’s Day gifts for dads who have everything, featuring the ultimate crowd pleaser — a Blys gift card.

An In-Home Massage He Doesn’t Have to Ask For

He fixes everything around you. It’s high time that someone fixes his back for a change.

This Father’s Day, instead of gifts he probably mutters about as “clutter”, give him comfort. A Blys gift card, Dad gets access to a wide range of on-demand massage and wellness sessions, all from the comfort of his home. No travel, and no waiting rooms. Just professional relaxation delivered straight to his door.

Whether he’s been lugging tools around, chasing the kids, or glued to his home office for too many hours, there’s a massage treatment that’s perfect for every dad.

Remedial Massage

Perfect for hardworking dads who are always on the go — from tradies to desk jockeys.

Remedial massage is a clinical-style treatment that targets pain, tightness, and muscle imbalances. It’s ideal for dads dealing with old injuries, stiff necks, or tight shoulders from years of DIY projects and life admin. Handy for someone who’s been saying he doesn’t need anything at all, right?

Deep Tissue Massage

For the no-nonsense dad who wants results at the snap of the fingers.

This massage goes deep (quite literally) into the muscles and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension, knots, and soreness. It’s the kind of treatment that feels like a workout — but with all the benefits of proper recovery. It’s great for gym lovers, weekend warriors, dads who say, “just press harder”, or the new dads who are rocking their new-born kids to sleep (and barely getting any down-time).

Relaxation Massage

For the dad who says he’s “fine”, but clearly needs to chill.

Relaxation massage is a slower-paced, gentle style that helps reduce stress, promote better sleep, and create that elusive feeling of calm. Think of it as a reboot for his nervous system. Great for dads who never sit still… well, until the moment you gift dad.

Sports Massage

For the dad who still thinks he’s in his prime.

Sports massage is tailored to support physical activity — whether your dad’s into running, football, cycling, or the occasional golf swing. It helps increase flexibility, reduce soreness, and speed up recovery. Bonus points if he’s been trying to reclaim his glory days — this one’s for him.

Reflexology or Assisted Stretching

It’s a bit outside the box, if you think about it, but surprisingly effective.

Reflexology focuses on pressure points in the feet that correspond with different areas of the body — perfect for dads who carry stress in their legs or back.

And if massage just isn’t it for dad, you could help him get an assisted stretching session. Assisted stretching is a guided session designed to improve mobility and release tension — especially useful for dads with tight hips, stiff shoulders or poor posture from long hours behind the wheel or screen.

Why are in-home massages the ultimate gift for Aussie dads?

The list doesn’t stop at “easy gifting”. Although we can claim that Blys is the easiest gift idea for Father’s Day, here are some reasons why it could be an ultimate game-changer for dad:

✅ Available Australia-wide. And if dad’s going on a getaway trip, then trusted providers arrive wherever he is.

✅ Services range from massage, stretching, reflexology & more. So, if he doesn’t want to go for a traditional in-home massage, that’s completely fine.

✅ Delivered instantly. No shipping stress, no wrapping required.

✅ No waiting rooms, no pressure, no awkward spa chit-chat that dad claims is just for the mums.

Best of all? Once the massage is done, he can roll straight into a nap — no driving home, no dealing with traffic, and no judgement. Just good vibes and well-earned relaxation, sorted.

The “Official Dad’s Day Off” Package

Give him the gift of doing absolutely nothing, and actually meaning it.

Forget the tie. This year, give Dad what he really wants: a full day off from everything. No early wake-ups, no chores, no fixing the Wi-Fi, no being roped into backyard projects. Just uninterrupted “me time” — finished off with a professional, in-home massage, beauty or wellness treatment he didn’t have to book himself.

Here’s how to do it right:

✅ Let him sleep in (phone on silent, please).

✅ Don’t let him near the laundry, the bin, or the BBQ tongs.

✅ Help him redeem the Blys gift card you sent to his inbox and get him a deep tissue or relaxation massage with Blys — available wherever the family is, even on the go.

Whether you’re staying home or heading out for a family day trip, Blys makes it easy to bring relaxation along for the ride. With services available from 6 am to midnight, 7 days a week, you can schedule his massage when it suits best — even after everyone else has gone to bed.

And if he’s the type who “doesn’t need anything” again, this is the perfect way to spoil him without the clutter. A massage is equal parts practical and pampering — and far more appreciated than another classic Father’s Day gift.

Need some bonus points? Make it official with a cheeky handmade card that says:

Your massage is booked. Don’t lift a finger — unless it’s for snacks.” 🤭

Because every dad deserves a proper day off — and no, mowing the lawn doesn’t count.

Pair It With Extras That Are Actually Useful

Want to bundle the bliss with a little more “stuff”? Here’s what actually works alongside a Blys gift card and not instead of it.

These thoughtful add-ons are all about enhancing Dad’s downtime, without creating more clutter or giving him another item he’ll quietly re-gift later.

Heated Neck and Back Massager

For the dad who insists he can DIY his own massage between bookings. A heated massager is great for everyday tension relief, and ideal for keeping him comfy until the next in-home massage therapist shows up from Blys.

Noise-Cancelling Headphones

So he can finally tune out the world — whether he’s at home, in the office, on a flight, on his morning run, or just pretending he can’t hear the chaos. Pair them with a relaxing playlist or guided meditation for extra points.

A Stack of Good Books

Perfect for the dad who loves a quiet read (and maybe a nap straight after). Choose a few titles he’s been eyeing, or surprise him with something funny, thoughtful, or gripping. It’s the perfect post-massage wind-down ritual.

A Memory Journal

The go-to choice for the reflective dad who prefers his deep thoughts in writing — not out loud. Look for a journal with daily prompts or customise one with family notes, photos, and inside jokes. Personal without being too mushy.

Let’s be real — he’ll never ask for it, but he’ll love it.

Most dads aren’t great at asking for self-care. That’s why giving him a Blys gift card is kind of genius. It says: “I thought of you” and also “Please relax, you absolute legend.

Whether he’s working on-site, behind a desk, chasing toddlers, retired, or running after grandkids — a massage that comes to him is the upgrade he didn’t know he needed (but won’t stop thanking you for). And a digital gift card from Blys does all that!
