Dowel Jones - Dr Spinner Light Black ($300.00) and Mr Dowel Jones floor light ($250.00). We recently featured the clever local lads behind Dowel Jones, Dale Hardiman and Adam Lynch. Such an inspiring pair, we love their lights!
Tuckbox - Handcrafted Klein/Gem Black Stool ($325.00). It wasn't so long ago that we featured Melbourne-based furniture makers Tuckbox, and we especially love the sleek masculinity of this black on black Klein / Gem faceted stool. SO photogenic!
Crumpler - Vis-A-Vis cabin luggage ($395.00). The hard shelled Vis-A-Vis cabin bag from Crumpler is our pick for stylish, functional carry-on luggage. Its durable shell, unique interior clothes compression system and smooth glide wheels ensure you'll arrive in style, with everything exactly where you packed it.
SONOS - Bridge ($50) and PLAY:1 wireless speaker ($199.00). SONOS is the speaker system of the future - super stylish, 100% wireless, it hooks up to your iTunes / Spotify / iPhone with no skips, delays or drop outs, ever. Once you have the 'bridge' (included) you can place speakers in any room of your house and wirelessly play tunes throughout your house, perfectly in sync. Hard to believe I know. Get on it people.
Klaus Goods - Giordi Slim Wallet ($75.00). We are loving these sleek handcrafted leather accessories by local label Klaus Goods, who we featured not so long ago over here.
Country Road Flask ($59.00) and Painted edge keyring ($19.95). Country Road is classic 'Fathers Day' territory. CR are always guaranteed to get you out of a last minute gift-hunting melt down.

Lots of ace manly gift ideas can be found in their online store.
Mag Nation - Fantastic Man ($35.00). We love magazines, which means we love Mag Nation. I actually cannot enter the store without spending $100+ on magazines. Outrageous I know. (But claimable!) As far as 'Manly' mags go, Fantastic Man is our top pick.
Metropolis Bookshop - Design as Art by Bruno Munari ($19.95) and Tao of Wu by The RZA ($19.95). Metropolis is one of our favourite Melbourne bookstores. Design as Art by Bruno Munari is a cult classic and would suit the art / design / typography loving man in your life, whilst the Tao of Wu is a philosophical book written by prominent Wu-Tang Clan member and producer, RZA.
Mr Wares - S'well 750ml stainless steel bottle ($59.95), Haws English made 700ml watering can ($19.95), Lodge USA 8"/20.3cm seasoned cast iron skillet ($49.95).

Such an awesome lineup of products for blokes and lovely friendly staff, well worth a little look next time you're in town!
Witu - iPad Tech Case ($100.00) and Adjustable Camera Strap ($75.00). Our love of all things WITU is well documented. We recently featured their latest range, Ozone which is FLYING off the shelves. Our fave colour way is the olive green, seen below in the iPad case.
Haztek Sports Luxe - Zig Zag Sock ($30.00). OK, this guy is aqwsome. You could just buy regular old socks from some shop or you COULD buy these awesome locally designed sports socks by 20-something Melbourne cycling fanatic Harry Scott (somewhat enigmatic housemate of Adelaide and Fraser Daniell, whose super cool apartment we featured here).
Vanishing Elephant - Desert Boots ($260.00). Mens shoes should be comfy as well as stylish... both based are covered with these navy desert boots by Sydney fashion label Vanishing Elephant - we love the subtle yellow stripe on the sole.
The Standard Store - Stolen Riches Laces ($20.00), Yumaki Toothbrush ($15.00), Macon & Lesquoy Moustache brooch ($20.00), Mr Natty Silver Label Shave Soap ($30.00). - The Standard Store is hands down our FAVOURITE local fashion boutique, and you'll be pleased to know they stock excellent threads for both men and women, in equal measures. It's very democratic. They stock an excellent edit of international super cool labels including Sunspel, London Undercover and Kitsune. Also, one of our dearest pals JEN BOOTH manages the Melbourne store. Say hello from us!
Bunnings - Black Paintbrush ($5.00), Stanley Knife ($15.00) and Workmans Pencil ($3.00). If you are brave enough to visit Bunnings this week, all manner of 'Father's Day' specials will most certainly await you. For this line up we stuck to the basics - a decent paintbrush, stanley knife and work man's pencil.
Safari Living - Eclectic by Tom Dixon Pillar Candle Black ($51.00). Another excellent local retailer with a great range of gifts for men is Safari Living. We love all Tom Dixon's candles, and the new Pillar Candle in black is particularly tall, dark and handsome.
Nixon - Time Teller P Watch ($99.00) and The Trooper Headphones ($89.00). California based label Nixon make a super stylish range of apparel, luggage, tech cases and covers, headphones, speakers and watches for both men and women, (but their men's stuff is particularly cool). We love their minimal black Time Teller watch and Trooper Headphones.
Interia - Meniscus Wall Button in White American Oak ($81.25 + GST and freight). We featured Tasmanian design studio Interia SUCH a long time ago, and they tell us they still get referrals from the post we ran about them way back in 2012! We love that! These brand new turned timber wall buttons are hand made in Tassie with love. Do check out Interia's full collection of turned timber architectural hardware on their website - so beautiful.
Incu - Gentlemens Brand Moisturiser and face wash ($35.00 each) and 99c Prize Pin ($15.00). We love local fashion retailer Incu - you might recall our recent interview with Incu founders, brothers Brian and Vincent Wu. This clever team stock an incredible range of local labels, and have 7 stores in total across Melbourne and Sydney.
Lord Coconut - Double Black Leather Bracelet ($135.00). Lord Coconut is a jewellery store in the city, specialising in handcrafted pieces for the stylish local gentleman. Proprietor Mark Boldiston is endearingly passionate about his store and the jewellers he represents. Situated on level 4 in Carlow House on Flinders Lane, Lord Coconut is a little off the main drag, but well worth a look for unique handcrafted jewellery, cufflinks and objets d’art for the discerning man in your life, with many local designers represented.
Third Drawer Down - Champ Magazine Issue 8 ($24.00) and Peter Shire Pinch pot cup ($45.00). Another of our most favourite local stores is Third Drawer Down - proprietor Abigail Crompton is well known for the clever range of art objects she produces in collaboration with both local and international artists, as well as the eclectic range of inexpensive gifts sourced internationally.
Black Inc. Publishing - Acute Misfortunes: The Life and death of Adam Cullen by Erik Jensen ($32.95). Erik Jensen in the editor of The Saturday Paper. Somehow, he found the time in the launch year of the paper, to ALSO write a brilliant biography about his late friend, Australian artist Adam Cullen. Acute Misfortunes: The Life and death of Adam Cullen is actually out next month, but we have an advance copy for one lucky reader.
The Saturday Paper - Annual Print and Digital Subscription to The Saturday Paper ($139.00). The Saturday Paper is Australia's newest newspaper. Published by Morry Schwartz (of The Monthly and the Quarterly Essay) The Saturday Paper champions a return to long form journalism – news and current affairs reported in an independent, intelligent way. We have one year-long subscription to give away.
Henry Wilson - Vide-Poche ($165.00). Henry Wilson is one of Sydney's most exciting young designers. He is a graduate of the Australian National University in Canberra, and also holds a Masters from the prestigious Design Academy Eindhoven. Henry's practise is driven by the simple idea that ‘design should be built for longevity and honestly resolved’, and this affection for old fashioned utilitarianism is clearly evident in all his work. 'Vide Poche' translates to 'empty pockets' in French. This double-sided solid aluminium tray is the ultimate desk tidy for coins, keys, phones, wallets.
Hillvale - Vintage Contax G1 body film camera with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* G 35mm F/2, with Agfa Vista 400 film plus processing and lo-res scans. ($650 + $65). Hillvale is an independent photo lab based in Brunswick, and run by pals Jason Hamilton and Andy Johnson. We featured them a little while ago over here! Hillvale turns photos taken with old fashioned film cameras into high res digital scans. They also sell film and vintage cameras, such as this super cool vintage Contax.
Sensory Lab - Full coffee making kit including Bueno Kettle 800ml Stainless Steel, drip coffee kit and Sensory Lab roasted coffee (kettle $86.00, total pack value - $200). Coffee always seems to make an appearance in our 'Man Week' gift guide in one way or another (hey, we are Melbournian after all). This time we've included an epic drip coffee kit from Sensory lab - everything you need to make the perfect caffeinated drop without leaving home.
Muji - Nail Clippers ($5.00), Black Lunchbox (set of two $29.95). We haven't quite gotten over the excitement of MUJI having landed in MELBOURNE! SO much un-branded organisational goodness for the home / office / bathroom / studio, all under one roof. And super affordable, too.
Mr. Kitly - Futagami Bottle opener Waku frame ($65.00). We're massive fans of the product range at local retailer Mr Kitly, and we firmly believe this Japanese bottle opener is the most stylish bottle opener ever invented. Seriously. I mean look at it. It's a work of art, people.

This Father’s Day I am greatful for my dad who 28 years ago left behind his family, friends , his country and everything he knew to more us to Australia for a better left.
I often now as an adult reflect on the huge step he took for his family and am greatful every day.

Thank you

Hello TDFers!

Hi Lucy and team,
Thanks for all your great work and the giveaway!
Why does my man deserve a gift? Easy…
He swings the broom like a working wee
He changes nappies with no help from me
He wears no track suits and his snoring’s just wee
– in short, my husband’s a better version of me!
3016
My beautiful, selfless hubby so deserves this. Caring for me for almost 8 years and going without so much in that time. Keeping a huge smile on his face, remaining grateful and showing his neverending love…. Not many like my Theodore. 3066

I’ve got two men in my life – one little one big the ideal combination of loving father and energetic little boy- a combination that often results in lots of chaos but heaps of cuddles and laughs as well.
Dad of course! This year alone managed to beat cancer, a bad dose of pneumonia and has quit smoking after 45 years of the bad habit. Proud is an understatement.

Vincent Blanco, my papa is the main man in my life. He is the most selfless person in the world particularly after all the hardships he has experienced. He would do absolutely anything for my mother, sister and I.
Thank you!!

My Dad is the best you can have. Even though my sibling and I are “all grown up”, whenever dad drops around something we haven’t gotten around to is bound to be sorted, from replacing the in-sinkerator to changing a lightbulb he spoils us both rotten! He usually gets chocolate for his efforts, but I reckon a much more substantial gift for my handy dad is exactly what he deserves! 3101.
My main man is my wonderful husband, he is my rock and my hero and has helped me through some particularly tough times recently. He would be very deserving of one of these beautiful items. 2040
What a selection! Dave, my step dada, is my main man – he does all those good dad type things – hammering, car checking, etc.
I’m nominating MM#3 (after my 5 yr old son and 74 year old dad) – my cleaner of 15 years John. A man with a life of ups and difficults downs; a fantastic wife and children; running a business with clients including foresnic cleaning for VicPol – doing all the things that make the world turn. Their recent holiday, first in 2 decades, was cancelled due to unrest in Egpyt. Wonderful for great surprises to happen to great people. 3065
My main man Nigel Sense is an amazing artist. He works full time job on top of his art practice, which he invests everything back into. He works harder than anyone I know and deserves a treat :)

My husband Olaf (yes, like the snowman). Fabulous father to our two girls. He makes them giggle, kisses their boo-boos & plays hide & seek with him, despite being 6’4″. They adore him as much as I do. 3012
My work of ART is my main man – its his birthday today and @ 19 years old he has lived as long without his beloved father as with him, he is a beautiful caring tender young man.

My mother once told me – It doesn’t matter who you marry, as long as he’s kind.
I ignored most of your advice mum, but I silently thank you every day for this pearl. Single ladies, listen up; looks are transient, and wealth is worthless in an unhappy partnership.
Find a kind, humble soul. It really is all that matters in the long haul. Sage advice mum.
Love you longtime LK. 2094
Dan is my man, I’m his number one fan. Amazing husband and father, there is no one I’d rather

I was going to enter this competition and although my main man is a dream boat and this will be his first Father’s Day- – I think Jo nominating her MM#3 is more deserving! (Comment no 75.)
Wazza is my favourite fella- awesome dad, husband, talented muso, bakes a great loaf of bread, and most importantly brings this pregnant mumma home chocolate regularly. King of the dad jokes. He deserves something just for him. 2007.
My husband works tirelessly for his family and never stops to buy himself any treats (still wearing wide-legged jeans!). A few treats would be great for such a hard-working husband.

Sure, he snores and NEVER wipes the vanity after shaving. But he can also fix anything, has excellent taste in wine and has taught our girls to bike ride. After 19 years he still surprises me with gifts: a compost aerator (!!) snuck back from Cooma. What a fella! 2558.
In the words of my little man why his dads the best “My dad rocks, because he can lift rocks!”.
My partner of 6 years M. How he balances his children, full time work, a business, me and our carnival of friends & family and still finds time for a spot of fly-fishing will always amaze me! 7000

My Dad, he’s always there with the unconditional love as well as great advice and help when it comes to the the blokey stuff ie. how do I put my bike chain back on, why is my car making that noise ……
My main man is Ross. We met last December. Three months later he secretly commissioned my two favourite Melbourne jewelers (Tessa Blazey & Kim Victoria) to design my engagement ring and wedder. Three months after that he proposed and totally knocked my socks off! 3054.
My main man is my art director, John “Reno” La Motta, who bikes to work early every damn morning just to get extra things done before it gets crazy and stays well after the sun has gone down. Never have I seen someone work so hard. This man deserves rewards from the world.
** postcode 4006 – ack! Don’t disqualify my main man! **
I share my main man with our 2 girls, my husband Gary, he provides the foundation of our love, guidance, support, tolerance, strength, health and kindness. All in all he is a pretty great friend, father and family man.

My main man is my best friend, a fun, gentle, creative, kind and loving daddy to our 2 boys, and the most kissable guy I know.
He’s a sensitive and compassionate writer AND my son-in-law, a word that rhymes fortuitously with ‘adore’ for a relevant reason. He is intelligent, humorous–with irresistible original one-liners–communicative, warm and loving. Believe this mother-in-law!!
My ‘main man’ is my partner G – he overcame such adversity in his life. Everything was stacked against him, and now he is looking at a PhD, takes joy in gardening, loves animals and kids, enjoys philosophy, and pursues creative endeavours such as music and photography. He inspires me for who he is, but even more so when I think about the path his life was put on when he was young, and how he has managed to ‘own his destiny’. He’s amazing. Our p’code is 4069.
my main man…my husband Josh. terrific dad who is all sorts of crazy with our two children. has supported me through thick and thin. xx

My main man is my Mane Man. His long luscious locks ripple in the breeze, shimming like the sun as he walks the streets of Brunswick. Just one flick of his head is enough to bring women to tears. 3056

It is my husband Simons first fathers day. Seven months ago his world got tipped upside down with the arrival of our gorgeous daughter. He is loving the challenge and enjoying the massive learning curve fatherhood has brought…. This guy totally deserves a gorgeous surprise as he constantly rocks our world.
Oops. Postcode 3011.
My main man is my Papa, he is such an awesome human! Always love a laugh, enjoys the silly things in life and most of all has been such a caring and devoted father. 2016
My main man is my lovely Scottish fella who lives on the opposite side of the globe to all his beloved family, just for me. He’s rugged and outdoorsy, sweet and kind, can build a shelf/pitch a tent/bake cookies/make a mean soy latte, and he has a magnificent beard. He’s pretty much the best dude ever. THE BEST. Postcode 3058.
My main men are my brothers, who would stand up for their youngest sister whenever she needed it, and the other man is my boyfriend, who has been so supportive and giving through my time of need over the past year that all I want to do is give something a little special back.
Postcode 3056 – above :)
He isn’t a father yet, but has all the qualities – helps people when they are down, cares for everyone above himself, cooks nourishing food, lifts people up rather than bringing them down and is the king of dad jokes already.

My due date is tomorrow – September 2 so we are fingers crossed that my gorgeous hubby will be celebrating his first father’s day this Sunday. I can’t wait to see him in his new role as a daddy. 2089
Over the past year my boyfriend has supported me through diagnosis and dealing with a chronic illness – and all the mood swings that go with it! It’s tested us but we’ve come out stronger. He’s always given me classy, thoughtful gifts – from our first Christmas together (and he’s Jewish!) after just 2 weeks of dating, til now. Would love to return the favour xx

Hi DF team
Main man is my husband/ dadda to our kids.
12 years on and I’m feeling super blessed.
3162. Ox
No doubt there are millions of deserving males for this insanely-amazing gift, but for me, it’s my Papa Dixon. He’s a nurse by day (or night, depending on his roster), and a walking encyclopedia and ace role model 24/7.
4000
My ‘main man’ is my husband – Rob. He works extremely hard and still manages to be a great dad to our 2 kids!
3071
My ‘main man’ is my wonderful father who has sacrificed so much for his family over the years, with no sign of retirement anytime soon, so I think he deserves to feel special! 3183
I would love to win this camera for my dad. He used to love photography when he was young and took amazing film photos. Now he takes horrible blurry photos on his phone. He deserves a great present from me in general as I can never afford something nice for him and he’s always so supportive of me in every way.
My main man is my husband of 17 years, Matt, as young at heart as when we first met and as true and inspiring as any man could ever be.
If only my man would let me take a photo of him right now – i could show you how show you how god damn adorable he is and a generous soul well deserving of these ‘man week’ treats! 5062
My dad. He’s always helping out my sisters and I. So he deserves an extra special treat this fathers day to show him how much we care.
3057
My main man is of course David, and the words of poet Arrigo Boito say it perfectly, “When I saw you I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew.” 2088
Trying again, within the word count this time!
“My boyfriend has supported me through diagnosis and dealing with a chronic illness – and associated mood swings! He’s been a thoughtful gift-giver since our first Christmas together (and he’s Jewish!) after just 2 weeks of dating. His turn xx

My main man and I have been together for 17 years and are lucky enough to have a mini main man together. Mr MM works hard so that I can spend my time at home with our mini MM, for which I am truly grateful!
Well, MARRIED 21 still Married 40 years later. The man has to be doing a lot of things right. We grew up together, still loving our life together. He definitely deserves some spoiling. Thanks.
A man of simple pleasures, of understated manhood. Intelligent, selfless, gentle. He is Jon; loving husband, devoted father; our lighthouse, blowing no horns just shining bright to light the way. A Man Week “Design -filing,” a wonderful thank you. 5082
My main man is my brother Rory
He installs my ever changing light fittings, catches then cooks seafood feasts and takes good care of our mum. Not bad for a 23 year old bloke
My MM is my fiancé and father of our rambunctious 18 month old son who is tirelessly taking on all mr man and mr mom duties without complaint while I recover from surgery to remove my cancer last week. My hero!
Any of these wonderful objects would be a special treat for my dear husband, Ben. He works so hard, doesn’t expect anything in return, and gives unconditional love to everyone he knows. 5290
My Dad. He has always put my sister and I before anything and anyone else. Raising two girls on his own, he has never made us feel like we’re without. He calls me everyday to say hi and every time he eats fruit, he cuts some off for me! 3128.
Thank you. Beautiful styling and shoot!

My dad – what a man. He’s the reason for my sensitive skin and ginger hair,
but I’ll enjoy sitting together in the shade this summer.

Practical, patient and positive, my amazing man, Ray, brings laughter to all and inspires me to be better every day. Juggling family, work and study for the last few years, a DF gift would get his creative juices flowing again! 2010
My dad is such an inspiration to me, he survived prostate cancer and has completely turned his life around in a few months now he is leading a healthy lifestyle!. He has worked so hard for the the family and never treats himself to anything! so i would love to give him some amazing presents to show him how much i respect and appreciate him :)

I would like to compliment you all for the stylish gift package for father’s day, I would love to win it so my 4 year old grandson Ollie can give it to his father Rory on Father’s Day 7/9/14. The package is very stylistically chosen and Rory is sure to be the most stylish father upon receipt of this insanely masculine black gift box. The book on Adam Cullen caught my eye as well.

Fathers day is a special to my fam more so than any other as its my mums b’day as well, so what better way than to spoil my old folks with a gift for the pair.

My main man is my amazing husband Beau. He totally deserves this gift as he has been working away all year, and then renovating our house on days off – hence design files addiction! He never buys anything for himself or spoils himself, and it would be lovely to shower him in some lovely items! xo
The most patient and loyal husband in the world, not to mention the best dad. Steven, I love you :)

My main man would have to be my amazing father, Vic. He has been through everything that life could possibly throw at him, he is someone that my family and I can always rely on for support and endless love!

That Vintage Hillvale has my main mans name ALL over it, dad is a motoring journalist / photographer and avid collector of historic cameras, the standard; ‘they never make them like they used to” – This one might change his mind! 2060
My main man and wonderful partner in crime is Josh. For 11 years he’s made me laugh, feel loved and fills my life with happiness. Together we get creative and explore the world with our new fur baby Harvey. (3067)
My main man is Brendan. Settlement on our new house fell through today and he has been nothing but positive. It’s what you need, someone who is always a MexiCAN. 3184
My dad, my hero: chef, chauffer, handy-man, baby-sitter, councilor, best friend. There is only one thing he can’t do: spoil himself. For being a wonderful, selfless father, my hero deserves some extra special gifts this father’s day!

My husband is alone amongst women, wife, mother, sister and daughters, but is unfailingly patient! Not just with us, last week he walked 100 kilometres through the dark, rain and bush, supporting his young team, and raising $31,500 for Oxfam.
My main man is my Step-dad Wayne. Tow truck driver who is on the roads every morning by 4am and only has every second Saturday off. He always has a smile on his face when he gets home and he adores his orange cat, Shadow. He would love any of these lovely gifts. 3081.

My main man – Ray, the kindest, loveliest day-dreamer of a dad and lover. The dad’s jokes haven’t stopped since the arrival of our little boy 9 weeks ago and we hope they never do. This is for all the times he’s given up surfing and band practice to look after us!

My main man has to be my Dad, Kel. At 64, he’s twice my age, but he’s always been 100 x cooler than I’ll ever be.
He’s in the know with the latest bands and is always looking sharp!

There once was an old man called Charlie,
No legend, like Jagger or Marley,
He can’t hold a note,
He sings like a goat,
But as a father I think he’s quite gnarly!

My main man is my partner and my daughter’s much loved ‘favourite parent of the moment’ her DAD aka John.

My Pa, 23 years as my role model, I have spent countless hours gardening, dancing (on his toes), drawing, singing (badly), laughing and learning from this wonderful man. A heart of endless love, support and encouragement, deserving of something special.

My husband Hayden returns home to the kids and I in Melbourne (3186) on Monday 8th September after 10 weeks working overseas. He’s a clown. Really. He is. He works for Cirque du Soleil. Unfortunately there just aren’t these kinds of jobs in the Arts in Australia, so he’s away most of the year. We all miss each other big time and this would be such a cool surprise for the coolest guy in the world.
The man of my life is my boyfriend of 20 years. When we first met, while I was looking for a room to rent as a student, he filled the two basic criteria I had for a boyfriend – smart and funny. Now, years later, with a daughter together, he fills more criteria than I thought I needed – he talks, he listens, he sees right through me before I do, he reduces us all to rolling-on-the-floor-breathless laughter with his humour and sends us running with the sound of his rear-end trumpet. That’s now my criteria for a partner, and dad to my child.
4006
My main man is Andrew, he is the kind of guy that lets me pick the food, the adventure, the movie & the fun. He NEVER spoils himself – to indecisive mixed with buyers guilt before he’s bought anything! I love him dearly – 2232
My main man Ivan, thanks for just being you.

My husband’s birthday is also this weekend, so double celebrations. He’s traveling a lot with work at the moment so every opportunity to celebrate my gorgeous man is a happy time.
Love your work Lucy

PS. Your gift guides are seriously beyond compare!
The best things in life are free… Like the love of an amazing man; and this awesome giveaway! I have two men that share my heart: my dad & the father of my children. No one loves me like they.

My father Chris, is the strongest and most hard working man I know, before this year, he had never taken a sick day. Unfortunately, about two months ago he experienced a stroke, it’s been really hard for him (and our family) but he has been really amazing, and we have seen he’s truly amazing strength shine through, he is making an awesome recovery.
Throughout the last few months in the absence of my father, my mother, auntie Prue, friend Alice and other family embers have played his loving roll, this Father’s Day I would really love to be able to treat them all to something very special, my father and my loved ones really deserve it!

My main man is my husband of 24 years. Rocks fussy babies for hours. Drives teenagers anywhere, any time. Always optimistic. Cleans house. Ready to help always. Never asks for anything for himself. Always makes me laugh.

My wonderful husband Matt; Daddy to 3 small children under 6!

My main man at the moment is my dear old Dad. Not only is he a super softy who crys more than I do, but he lost his beautiful wife (my Mum) very suddenly at an early age this May (1 day after Mother’s Day for good measure). He’s also just had a knee reco, so it’s about time a litte luck came his way.

My ‘main man’ is my girlfriend, Mechelle.
Everything you presented on your post today is something ‘for men’, yet her taste in design extends beyond typical gender roles and consequently she loves everything on there.
At the age of 41 she decided to go to school to study her passion, furniture design. In a few months she will graduate with flying colours and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

My man looks like he just crawled out from under a bush. Never has there been a man more in need of a good dose of Design Files style! He’s a gruff but gorgeous husband, and father of one, and we love him dearly despite his lack of manscaping. At least we agree on furniture…

My main man is my partner Ben. He’s actually the greatest living human.

My partner Leath is the best main man anyone has had, anywhere, ever. He’s 6’4″, his feet go past the end of our bed, he doesn’t complain, and he can reach everything. Even some ceilings. Without a ladder. And he looks after me like no body’s business. A present for him would be the best!

My main man S is the perfect mix of style, sexy, sensitivity, brains, looks and sneaky cunning. He is the most amazing man I have ever met and every day I can’t believe how fabulous he is.

My main man is my dad because he’s always there for me and has passed on his love of art and creativity which is such a priceless gift. I would love to return the favour even just a little bit. 3160
Karl and I are celebrating our eighth wedding anniversary this month and being a graphic designer, he would love any of these gift ideas! I would love to spoil him because he has done so much for me over the years. Not least of which is support me in my creative endeavours and propped us up financially. Doing a job he doesn’t always enjoy (even though it is in a field he is passionate about). I guess a lot of people do this for the people they love but I have just had our third baby, not six months after my mum passed away. I have not been the easiest person to live with and he has not only put up with my shit, but he still tells me he loves me every day.

My main man is my number one supporter and most gentle being i have ever met – my dad. He lives a pretty simple life, takes great pleasure in simple things like tending to his garden and watching the light fade from the sky at dusk. He makes me feel like i’m always sitting atop his shoulders and watching the world through his kind eyes. I have so much love, time and support to give back to him; but I hope to make him feel special every day that I can. He has always created and cared with his hands, he’s a self made man and I can only hope to reward him with something unique – because in my eyes he will always have given me the best outlook on life (figuratively and literally).

My dad is the main man!
My man is, and always will be my father.
when I was a little kid, I used to be disrespect to my father because in my mind, a man is supposed to be a strong support to the whole family, should be the leading person, but not the one who is always following my mother’s order, and serving the family. At some point, I hated my own father.
However, when I am reaching my own 30-year-old, I realized how hard it is to be a real man, who is being responsible to the whole family, supporting us without saying a word, and sacrificed a lot of his own interest, therefore me as his kid could achieve my own dreams.
Even though my father doesn’t talk too much, I still found I am affected by him a lot, I love classical music, technology and cars. Now no matter when I am talking to some relevant topics, I can always be proud and tell everyone that I learn those from my beloved father !
Happy fathers Day

My Main Man is my Super Sexy Husband Andrew. We have been married for 13 years and have 3 Beautiful Children together. He makes me laugh he spoils me and he tells me I’m
beautiful all the time. He works hard making a living for us which sometimes means being away. Because of his sacrifices I can stay home and look after our Aspergers son and his older siblings. I can’t imagine my life without him in it.

My family’s neighbour Daryl gave me my first camera. This gift, alongside his support, started my lifelong passion for photography. This prize would be a way to thank a person who went from neighbour to friend and helped my photography turn from hobby to career.

My main man had to be my dad. He let me come to Australia alone when I was only 15 to follow my dream. He poured all his soul and life into supporting me for the last 15 years. I have now persuaded the first step of my dream career. It’s my turn to give him his life back :)) he will be stocked with a little surprise gift :)

My main man is Wes, love of my life, father of my daughters, lover of rugby and music and tech and design. I’m a winner everyday with him around, but he could do with a win sometimes too! 4152!

P.S. Postcode 2010
My husband- he is the most loving and supportive husband to me and our two boys. Always reminds us to act on our dreams. He LOVES beautifully designed products but never spends the time and money to splurge on himself.
My main man as a designer is so particular! Every time I would like to give him a gift I agonise over what to buy and then you go and pull a collection of great items so easily. Inspiration for the upcoming birthday! thanks! 3220
My dad, he has had to find labouring work interstate for the last 2 years. Whilst an intellectual man, he has lost his way in the style department. I hope this gift could make him shine inside and out!
My husband and I took a risk when we got married at 21 so he could stay in Australia (he’s Canadian). We’ve been married now for 6 years and I treasure him every day. I’m more in love with him now then when we first met and that love grows every day. He is the kindest, sweetest man and I am the luckiest woman alive to have him love me. 3065
Ryan is my main man, he is effortlessly cool, sweet and laughs at all my jokes no matter how lame they are! Plus it is our 6 year anniversary this weekend.

Love it ALL! Not only is it Father’s day, but MY birthday too (the big four 0) surely I could keep an item or two for myself ;) 3065
Papa G, my dad. He’s why I took an interest in photography, for its ability to remember all the moments we couldn’t possibly remember on our own, which my dad’s collection of film albums has done for my family.

oops, of course, the ‘main man’ is Dad, and the reason – he’s my dad… 3065
My main man is my hubby Andrew – he is kind, caring, generous and is a wonderful friend, lover and father to my boys. One thing that stood out last week was he organised my Opal Travel card so I don’t have to stress about a new office relocation and my train commute this week – I havnt commuted to work via Train for over 12yrs – it’s the little things and he’s so thoughtful!

My main man is Matt, a most excellent man and a wonderful father to our children. Committed, involved, and dammit, mostly right too. 3163
It’s dad, of course. He taught me the value of patience and kindness without ever having to give me a word of instruction. I learned by example. I also learned a bit of classic dad humour along the way! -3150
My main man is my partner of three years – Dom. We met down a dodgey looking alley way in Brunswick, between watching heavy bands play. I reckon he deserves one of these gifts because he’s the coolest dude ever!
My Dad. So much more than a mere male. He taught me more than I realise. In fact every day I realise how much. So much wisdom and knowledge. Always ready to share and help.

My dad Deano. Super proud of this man as he’s now running a small architecture firm that he’s worked with for years. He’s always backed everything I’ve done and inspired me to follow down the path of design. Yew.

My main man will always be my father, no matter what other men come and go in my life. He has been a rock for his three daughters and to my lovely mother.

My main man, is my mum, because i consider her as both as she plays both roles, mother and father to me. I honor her as she’s worked so hard for me, so i can have best for my future. I think, we share the same interest in design and would i like to give back for what shes done for me. 2217
My husband and father of our 2 children. He is currently working in Africa, 6 weeks away, 3 weeks home for the next 2 years. He will be away for Father’s Day and the kids will miss him so much. 6152
My dad has begun travelling in his 50s and has worked to be a better dad than the one he was while we were growing up. Plus all he wants for Father’s Day is a Darrell Lea Dad’s Bag. Simple and excellent.

Main man is my husband. He made a cat scratching post out of recycled materials because I didn’t like the carpet ones from the shops. Not only is he handy and designer-y, but he loves cats too. 3055
I love my fella because he’s incredibly hilarious, baben, genuine, supportive, a great cook and very patient.. He can be pretty selfish but then he does my washing and never leaves the toilet seat up. TICK! Jess, 4558

My main man is my boyfriend, who is my travel buddy and food sharer. We see the world through the same lens and love eating, seeing and doing things together.
Why he deserves this ? To snap our moments with a great camera. One second at a time.
My dad is a designer who draws and makes fun stuff – we even did a cardboard surfboard project together. Our postcode is 2500.
The main man at our household deserves a very special Father’s Day this year as he has spent the last two weeks running around after an 18mth old with tonsillitis, and our 6 yr old and myself with the worst winter cold, all while juggling work commitments. A very special man.

Beautiful presentation Lucy and team! My main man is my wonderful husband P who deserves a gift for his selfless work with people in prison. He brings hope and care to them and even more to me. 3056
Love all this great stuff, Lucy, and Gordon’s backdrop, you gorgeous thing, so would love whatever you want to give away, for my fellow.

Just read the instructions- always a good idea! Postcode 2640. My dad has gone now, but my husband Lionel, is Dad to Ro, Jim and Fi, and they would say he’s always been a great dad. Has just found a new job, at 62, after 3 weeks of being without one, so deserves a special gift after a lifetime of selflessness.
Still loving the gift every morning of this creative blog from The Design Files.
My dad could not be any more dedicated to myself and my family, he is so caring and loving towards everyone, he needs one of these gifts as a thankyou!!
Vis-a-vis Cabin Luggage
My main man is my husband.
Our first overseas trip is in December this year and to save money, we decided to buy 1 new bag and borrow another. My husband was lovely enough to allow me to purchase the new bag, so I picked one I love! The Crumpler luggage would be a great surprise for him.

My main man is Paul and he gave me my little man Milo. This will be his first fathers day – reason enough for a great gift. But he is even more deserving because as well as working he cooks, cleans and makes our boy laugh his little head off – what every new mum needs.

I like that too.

My main man is my fella Shan Pete. I feel it’s an extreme privilege to still have a crush on my husband after so long together. A stellar dad, incredible artist and just the most interesting lovely person. 3068
My husband, best friend, father of 3 amazing children. He works so hard so I can be at home with our kids. But truly, every main man deserves to be gifted one of these amazing prizes!

My boyfriend. I was very close to giving up on love, believing it wasn’t for me until I met him. He is my best friend, someone I learn from everyday who keeps me strong and loved. He’s the one.

My main man is my son/sun.

My main man is my boyfriend, Brayden. He left his job as a personal trainer and is pursuing his interest in photography and, although his financial situation isn’t spectacular, he couldn’t make me any more proud. My favourite love.

My man is my amazing husband and best friend Rob. He’s such a good dad, he’s thoughtful, caring and he works tirelessly to achieve amazing results for his customers. He had a birthday last week but it was a total fail because we were all sick and he was the one who looked after us all. I would love to surprise him for Father’s Day by winning an amazing Contax camera. 2450
My main man Boyfriend (AVAN) who’s been there for me the past two years :) and making everyday Funnnnn!
My main man, maybe more of a boy( becoming a man slowly), @ondryass (good mate of mine) deserves this camera so he can take some more excellent photographs, as even without this camera he is able to do so. 2047
My main man is my husband of 12 years. He’s a bit rough around the edges and looks at life through very black and white lenses (goes with those sets). I call him MOA- man of action. He never stops, runs his own business, works long hours and still has time to be a sensational dad to our 2 boys. 4066
My boyfriend Jack, he used to wear cargo pants and crocs – he is a changed man now. 3054. Carlton North.
My main man is my son, Felix. He’s made a man out of me and as my Dad is no longer with us, he makes me strive to be the best father I can be. I love him to bits. 3182
My main man is my old man – my best mate, supporting me through thick & thin, especially over the last few years battling depression. He inspired me to follow my passion of photography and taught me everything about image making.
3174.
A timeless gift for a man who respects and loves me & our children seems pretty awesome. 5041
After meeting on top of the world (literally and almost figuratively, in Nepal!), we’ve travelled far and wide, and now have two little girls with us on our journey. He works so hard and sacrifices much for our happiness!

My main man is my toy boy…. I fixed something for his mum, who had cancer. He picked it up and must have liked what he saw! I’m 53. He’s 33. My toy boy rocks.
My “mane” man is Patrick, with a head of shaggy white hair and a pair of striking glasses. His work is helping families and kids. He is the best dad and husband, a great guitarist and intellectual to boot, and no doubt would enjoy some Father’s Day pampering. 3070
My man, Wisey is the most stylish man I know, a generous soul, yet I have trouble convincing him to even buy himself new socks. ANY one of these amazing items would be a game changer. 3350
My main man is obviously my dad, he introduced me to Photograpy and today I’m able to do what I love and still get paid for this. I’ll be forever grateful.

The favourite man in my life is my husband Tim. Kind, gentle, caring, he’s my best friend and I love him dearly. Would love to reward him on his decision to change his career. I’m so happy to help support him on his new journey! 3054
Of cause it’s my Dad. 8 kids to look after from 8-26 and he can still maintain an active lifestyle to keep us all up on our feet maintain our fitness and health. He puts not just his children first, but anyone he comes into contact with. His an amazing man ! 2260
Dad. Quiet, hard worker who is super good to me. He’s really wise and has his priorities right pretty much all the time which comes out in the way he relates to us kids, work, church…everything. Hope I can be more like him. 3127
I think my man deserves to win those awesome wireless speakers – I feel like they will help him master his attempts of Beyoncé twerkn’… And the lamp is just awesome, he will love !
3070
My man is dad to our three little men, that momentously said to me when I tried to buy him some trendy shoes, Do NOT try to funk me up. Which is why I would love to get any of these gifts for him!

My fiancée Ben is one of the most talented and generous men I’ve ever met. He’s always giving his time and attention help others on their own projects and creative endeavours. And he insists he isn’t credited to not take attention away from their achievements. I would love him to win this as the ultimate thank you!
3065
My main man is obviously my dad. Love ’em or hate ’em, everyone’s got one and we’re pretty much here because of them. That’s gotta be worth something, even if it is in the shape of a poorly-thought out, last-minute gift. The pairs of socks might have been from the dollar shop but the message is from our hearts.
Hey, Yasmin (566)… I know your interpretive dancing dad, with 35 years of uncut hair! He does deserve a huge present. He is one in a million (no) a billion! He is truly unique!

Cool design stuff is what my gorgeous husband would say – totally agree. His 1st Father’s Day this Sunday & TDF could totally make it a memorable one if he won these cool man gifts!
My husband Bob is a wonderful light in our lives. He is so patient and helpful to me and our twins. He is one in a million. He would love the camera as he has a love of photography.
3095
Wow! Truly fantastic gift ideas and beautifully styled! That leather bracelet, those desert boots, the stool and lamps! My main man is my partner Chris- generous and caring, a great man and dad- he deserves spoiling his birthday tomor and Father’s Day Sunday! 3181
I love man week! Sets me up for all presents for all the males in my life
My main man is my rock, he is my inspiration and always keeps motivated to move forward in life.
Without my main man I would be lost. My main man has always encouraged me to Persue my dreams and for that I couldn’t love him more. He bought my first camera as a young child, photography is now my passion and not something I lived by but something I live for.
My husband, father of my boys. His birthday’s this week as well as Father’s Day, and he deserves a treat! He keeps me sane, makes me laugh, works too hard but always manages more. And he reads The Design Files.

Hi TDF team,
My MM is Mr J Foxy, a soul mate, all round wonderful man with a voluptuous red beard to boot. We have just become proud owners of a rundown quirky fibro beach shack. We have a long, probably stressful, challenging and yet exciting renovation journey ahead of us, however winning one of these amazing prizes would help him create a much needed MAN-CAVE- which he dreams about constantly. Thank you for inspiring our renovations (and lives) daily! 2540.
Daniel.
My sweet husband who makes me feel special and loved every single day.
He’s very talented with a keen eye for photography… especially film.
He deserves something special :)
“Daniel you’re a star in the face of the sky.”

My main man would have to be my Dad – he’s spent the last 8 months building my sister and I the most beautiful townhouses and we have driven him crazy the whole time with our need to talk to him multiple times a day about every little decision we make. He’s done exactly the same thing for each of my six other siblings and it would be nice to reward him with a beautiful present to say thank you! Postcode 4061
My Dad, not only because he has had a killer moustache since he was twelve but because he is caring, generous and always supported my siblings and I both financially and emotion. He is great! even through he can’t manage to figure out predictive text. Come good know.

My main man is my little brother. He’s a new Dad and a sweet guy. He’d say I entered this just to snare the prize for myself, but he deserves it, so I’d gift it to him… unless its the desert boots. 2223.
after 8 years of depression and overeffort and learning and loss, my main man is me
3181
Having grown up without any real father figure, my main man is my buddy Pete. He has been like a father / older brother to me for a minute. We have been through a lot together all over the world. Playing in bands together and just looking out for each other. He is a great photographer too. He would flip over that contax!
3056
My Dad, he’s tough as nails and thick skinned but a genuine softie around his greyhound.
3147
My main man is my man (main), Andreas Damouras. Despite being lame, he has maintained enough dexterity in his fingers to be able to manipulate a camera, point it at things and tag the photo’s appropriately. A camera would help.
2039
Our girls are generous, thoughtful and creative all because of their fabulous dad. I just do the cooking and washing ;) We love him to bits.
3073
My main man…
the one who said I do
the one who always knows how to makes things perfect
the one who knows what I’m thinking before I do
the one who I know is going to be a great dad so very soon!

my best friend Travis, who helped me pave the road to a better and sober life when no one else would/could. forever grateful :)

My boyfriend could be the hapiest men of the word!!
My main man is Andy Johnson
because I shared a flight to London with him and he taught me how to be a man in the face of some tough times. He will need the Contax as it’s probably his he’s giving away.
Lots of black, sleek, metallic styles going on.
Perfect for one man, the greatest man of all…Batman.

He’s a man not a mouse, pick my husband Gez, he paints the house! 3195
Why’d my partner need a vide-poche? Because this aspiring designer appreciates especially HW’s classic pieces; and would run late for leaving his car keys in his jacket. Even though his drive to make me happy has never failed. 3121
All Dads here, there and everywhere !

I have one man in my life worthy of the main title. Mentioned already by many. Dad… He provides photographic inspiration to me and many others. He deserves something from the list cause he gives so much always. X Dad

My perfect love soldier, my future husband William.
Not only did he steal my heart – he gave me freedom. He broke me free from the closet and makes me the man I’ve always strived to be. He’s a walking dream, destined to spend a lifetime in my heart, and I reckon that these gifts will only raise the brownie points score on my “Marry me” scorecard. – 2011
My main man is Joey, he is a pillar of strength for me, his three sisters and his mum. He is always of good humour, is kind, caring, and will do anything for anyone at any time. He works very long hours to give me and his family a wonderful life and could definitely do with some spoiling as he does so much for so many people without expecting anything in return. He is my hero and my love.

My husband Adrian is such a wonderful Dad and great role model to our two boys aged 3 and 6. He always puts us first and I would love him to get a little something he would not expect.
3219
My husband who is the most beautiful dad to our little girl. What can I say, he puts up with the loony ladies (age 32 & 18 months) in his life and would do anything for us. Winning him a super dooper special Design Files gift it’s the least we could do! 3089
My main main will forever be my Dad. Always there with a word of advice or a metaphorical slap around the face when I need it. He’s also the face you would see under ‘hard to buy for’ in the dictionary, so I’d love you to do the work for me! Post code 3125
My father. He put me on this planet!
Brains in his head, enough said!
On top of that? . . . A laughable chap.
Concerned for me, when dreaming free . . .
But pulls me back, when being slack.
Cooks, care, loves us all,
My main man, Wade, dear humble soul!

My main man David spends most of his time advocating for the conservation of the northern and southern Polar regions. With hundreds of expeditions he helps everyone appreciate the pristine beauty of these places and would love a gift.
My husband Dave father to our four beautiful children who is just a great dad xx

Hi Lucie & TDF Team
My main man is my older brother – Henry – who was the patriarch of the family after my father passed away. His relentless love for us, his unconditional sacrifices and his stoic heroism makes him an imperfectly perfect human being. Thank you, big brother, for always being there, for your love, wisdom and courage.
Thank you TDF for this opportunity to share my story.

My main man is my little 8 month old son Hector. Despite depriving me of sleep, my wife’s attention and the ability to look at any screen uninterrupted, I can think of no-one else I’d rather spend a day with. And should he be fortunate enough to win one of the prizes on offer, I will of course happily look after it until he is old enough to not want to chew on it…
The most inspiring person in my life, who flew to the opposite side of the world to celebrate with me, who encouraged me to pursue my dreams, who I would be lost without. Tim you’re my main man.
Dedicated to my partner, the self-titled ‘Annoying Man’ who denies himself the little luxuries in order to keep his business going, yet still makes time and energy for silliness with our son. A surprise luxe treat would be a memorable Father’s Day gift!

Greg, is a huge spunk, a total gentleman, and an awesome man.

My beautiful and super hard working fella who just spent the last week shoveling mulch and planting 140 indigenous grasses and wattles alongside my mum, after I ended up unwell and out of action during our much anticipated gardening staycation xxx
my fella is about to become a first time dad! he’s been there for me every step of the way, and, even now, when things are getting pretty real and ‘undignified’, he makes me feel like i’m the bees knees. would love to spoil him!
Our Main Man is Tony aka Big Dog. He is a loving husband and fantastic father to our three children. He is a protector, provider and an endless source of entertainment for the family – we would be lost without him.

My main man, my Dad.
my mentor all these years, my personal advisor.
Passed on the photography genes to me and I’m a camera addict today. :)

The father of my daughters doesn’t need to be asked to wake up at 5am with them. He wants to do it. He doesn’t need to be asked to do anything. He wants to do it all. He is the best.
My main man, my dad, a great role model for us all in the family, who love me unconditionally and taught me how to be strong and independent woman. He always give and never think of himself which the more reason he deserve the best. This beautiful gift would be awesome for him
Hi Lucy!
My main man is my Dad, ever since I was little I would be in the shed with him.
whether it be painting, cutting the grass, gardening, building things or ever washing the car,
26 years later we still do all these things together. If I need help he helps me and if he needs help
Because of my dad I know how to cut timber, lay bricks, paint and even change the oil in cars.
He has been a top dad!
Thanks

My hilarious husband! Definitely the most ridiculous person I’ve ever met. So fun and so funny. 3051 ( that’s the local postcode – we’re living in New Delhi at the moment (110016)).
“Urban dictionary: main man = my homeboy or best friend; usually used when the person in question hooks you up with a sweet deal”. Now it’s my turn to hook my gorgeously generous main man up with a sweet deal. 3054
Despite having a lovely lady Im actually my own main man. and I deserve to contribute something to the decor of our house thats unquestionably stylish!
A few rules 1. I don’t jump out of planes unless they’re going to crash. 2. I don’t sleep with electricity (electric blankets). 3. You’ve got to be in to win it.
I love good design and I’m my own main man, that’s my rules. 2795
My main man isn’t just any man. They are someone who i feel comfortable around and I will grow to care for. My main man, isn’t even a man. Her name is Lucy.
My main man isn’t just any man. They are someone who i feel comfortable around and I will grow to care for. My main man, isn’t even a man. Her name is Lucy 3146
My main man sends me recordings of SBS TV shows for my birthday and taught me how to take (nick) plant cuttings from other people’s gardens at a very early age. This man is, of course, my father. 2478
My main man gets up every morning, without complaining, to walk the dogs alone, so I can have an extra half hour sleep. True love.
My main man is my husband, who is about to become a father in a few short months. I want to spoil him with something just for him before this milestone happens, as he has been amazing to me. 3185.
My main man is my partner Jay. He is my best friend, my confidante, my fellow foodie and my cheerleader who always makes my heart smile and makes the best cups of tea! (postcode 3183)
My man is my kids da. He takes our 4 young kids away for the weekend so I can have a break from the constant-ness of being with them. He rides to school with 3 of them . . .all on the one bike! He even makes school lunches. He supports me no matter what I suggest. We’re married 10 years this month and hes the best da & partner in the world. (I know I’m too late to enter, but I’ll give it a go anyway.)
My main man is the best father, amazing husband and the best friend I have. He would adore everything here!!!
What can I say, after 18 years of marriage, he drives me crazy sometimes, but I still love him and what a perfect way to show him!
My main man was my dad, a crazy hippy who raised me on his own from my very early years. Sadly Cancer took him from my life a few years ago however thankfully I have three wonderful men in my life who helpede through every difficult moment. My partner in life and love and my two wonderful lads are the most legendary people I know.
Sure, they might all fight over the prize should we be lucky enough but they are learning to share … Most of the time!! 3055 is the code.
I would love a gift for my husband Al- cook, hard labourer, mediator, inventor, coach, cleaner, chief negotiator, project manager, slave-to-the-music and the role he was born for- father of daughters. The man needs something in his life that isn’t pink!!!

My ‘Main Man’ is my husband, David. He works incredibly hard and is the most committed father, step-father and husband. This year will be his first without his own dear Dad and he deserves some rare, personal treats.

we will have our first baby!

my Zorro, my Antonio Banderez, my fearsome fighter, he scares off intruders, my four legged friend my cat!! 3181
My main man has a job in which he selflessly helps others, he asks little & gives so much. Modest, charming & thoughtful, but with a glint in his eye. He deserves a gift as he wouldn’t ask.

My main man has been the love of my life for over half my life, and the father of our three great kids. When you hit forty (!!) you realise things like this. Milestones like these go un noticed during the day to day, so a little something to say thank you would be nice.

I’d like to win one of the gifts for my Uncle Garry. Uncle Garry is a father to the fatherless. When I was unwanted, left behind at a young age, he & Aunty H picked me up, embraced me, adopted me into their home like one of their own, they have loved me with grace and unconditional love ever since. He’s turning 60 on Sep 19th also and I haven’t seen them for almost 3 years, living in Europe & started a business so money is tight, it’d be a miracle if he can receive a lovely gift to be reminded he’s loved and I’m thinking of him always. (Postcode:WA6069) Many thanks TDF team

My Anto has a talent for film artography and even manages to turn an ugly duckling like me into a unique beauty…watching him watching me through his film camera is mesmerising, don’t stop! Magic number 3056.
My father, has done everything for me my whole life and has been with me through thick and thin! He loves his photography and would go crazy over the contax! 3216
My boyfriend Jeff is wonderful. And it would certainly be great to win something in this fabulous collection as I owe him a birthday present from May! I was seriously cash strapped and it got away from me…. 3056
My dad, he taught me about the value of hard work and discipline, and the importance of pride in your own work. Happy dad’s day – 3066

My dad, (who along with my mum,) arrived in Australia with only a suitcase to their name and no language skills managed to give me the most privileged, warm and wonderful existence through hard work, a relentless and loving attitude. I only hope that I can offer my son as much as my dad has and continues to do for me! 4031

Thank you!!!

My main man… well, is not a man, but my dog Augie! He’s the best boy, and he loves his main man Mike more than anything. Augie is 2IC and looks after his girls, Me (Jen) and his bestie, litter mate and partner in crime Addie. They say a man’s best friend is his dog, and we couldn’t agree more. Mike works hard to put food on the table, and food in our bowls. Without him, well, we just wouldn’t be a family. So cheers, to both the main men in my life. I love you both more then woofs, I mean words. 5351
My dad! He is an all round great guy, my inspiration and such a big heart! I love him!
He would love any of these goodies.
