The Gifts MECCA Dads Really Want This Father's Day

Words by Kaylah Joelle Baker
But where to begin? We started where all good investigations do: at the source, with our very own MECCA HQ Dads. So, steal their ideas, claim them as your own, and save Dad from yet another pair of novelty socks!
Danny, Senior .NET Developer
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream
“Dad life doesn’t leave much time for skincare, so I love how easy this is to use. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and keeps my skin feeling hydrated without the greasy feel. It’s become a simple everyday essential for me.”
Alex, Digital Product Owner
Mimétique Skin Restore Plumping Face Cream
“This cream is my go-to. It’s loaded with actives, fast-absorbing and is fragrance-free. A little goes a long way, and with a six-month-old at home, I need all the help I can get!”
Luke, Head of Architecture & AI
Dries Van Noten Camomille Satin EDP
“I treasure this scent, as only a few of my fragrances teleport my mind some place. My daughter’s name is engraved on the glass, and every time I smell it, my thoughts go to her. I’ve had it only six months, but it’s already one of my most treasured personal items, and I keep very few things!”
(If you’re in Melbourne and want to make your fragrance gift extra special for Dad, MECCA Bourke Street now offers bespoke complimentary engravings on selected bottles.)
Mark, Continuous Improvement Manager at MECCA DC
MALIN+GOETZ Sage Styling Cream
“I use this styling cream every day instead of gel to shape and control [my hair]. Plus, it smells great and isn’t greasy.”
kit: Universal Face Lotion
“After years of working in the hot sun, I decided it’s time to take care of my skin. I find this face lotion great to use before bed, as it smooths and softens my skin, and since I’ve been applying it, my skin has felt so much better.”
DedCool Taunt Hand Cream
“Dust and general working in the yard were cracking my skin. The DedCool hand cream has helped stop the cracking, and my skin feels much better – and lots smoother. The cream also smells really nice.”
While we’re here, Mark went above and beyond and provided us with the ultimate dad advice that has nothing to do with shopping: “Life is finite, but time is infinite. Use your finite time for infinite possibilities.” Well said!
Aurelien, Digital CX & Innovation Lead
Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine™ Oil-Free Moisture Cushion and MECCA COSMETICA TO SAVE FACE SPF50 Matte Sun Serum
“I’m a dad to two late teenagers. As I’m getting older, my forehead seems to be getting bigger, which is proof, perhaps, that you never really stop growing. The downside is, there’s now more of me that needs protecting from the Australian sun.
“Because of this, these are the two products I use every day. The Dr. Dennis Gross moisturiser for keeping my face (and increasingly ambitious forehead) hydrated, followed by the MECCA COSMETICA SPF50 serum. Together, they leave my skin feeling fresh without feeling heavy, and most importantly, protected.”
Eve Lom Rescue Mask
“Then once or twice a week, this mask joins the rotation for a bit of extra care. My philosophy is pretty simple: nourish and protect – especially because I love finishing the workday with a walk through Yarra Park on the way to the train, which means squeezing in just a little more Melbourne sun before heading home.”
If your dad is like any of our MECCA Dads and knows precisely what’s on his mind (but needs an excuse to treat himself), a MECCA Gift Card or e-Gift Card does the job!
