How to make sure your Dad (or Pop) has a perfect Father's Day!
This is our special guide to Father’s Day and how to make it perfect for your dad.
It’s really easy - just two simple steps.
Come into Taste Gourmet and we’ll help you choose the perfect present or a gift certificate! We’ll wrap and ribbon your gift and make sure it is beautifully wrapped and presented
Bring Dad to Taste Gourmet for a lovely family breakfast, brunch or lunch, and we’ll treat Dad to a free gift and a free dessert!
How easy it that?
The perfect present for every Dad & Pop!
The only hard part of getting a Father’s Day gift this year will be choosing from our great selection of Father’s Day gifts. Not sure what you get your Dad or your Grandfather? (Let’s not forget all the Pops out there!) We have it all covered with lots of suggestions:
Try our special new Dad’s Pamper Packs, perfect for the busy Dad or the Dad who has everything
Chocolate Lovers Basket with a selection of mouth watering chocolates and truffles - (Choose from our selection of baskets or we’ll create one for you on the spot)
Is your Dad a coffee or tea lover -what about our Coffee Lovers or Tea Lovers Baskets - (Remember, choose from our selection of baskets or we’ll create one for you on the spot)
Dad loves to cook - pick up the Chef’s Selection Basket or create your own from our shelves
Dad’s Favourites - wander the shop with a shopping basket and make a collection of your Dad’s favourites, and then we’ll create a special unique gift just for your Dad. (We’ll make it on the spot so you can take it with you!)
A Taste Gourmet Gift Certificate -
the even more perfect present for Dad!
If your Dad is hard to buy for, or already has lots of great things, then we suggest a Taste Gourmet Grocer & Café GIFT CERTIFICATE.
A Taste Gourmet GIFT CERTIFICATE means that your Dad can come in at his leisure and choose his own gourmet goodies, or treat himself in the Café (or both)! We have special Father’s Day Gift Certificates and you can choose any amount from $10 to $1000. The certificates come in their own special envelope and we even wrap them in a ribbon!
In fact, we think this is such a perfect present, that if you buy your Dad a Gift Certificate for Father’s Day valued at $30 or more, we will give you a FREE Gift Certificate for $5.00 to spend in the Cafe, for you to keep (or give to Dad). If you buy Dad a Gift certificate valued at over $100, we’ll give YOU a FREE $20 gift certificate to spend in the Café!
We’ll give Dad a FREE gift and a FREE dessert, when you bring him to breakfast, brunch or lunch!
Make Dad’s day by treating him to breakfast brunch, lunch, or even dinner at TASTE Gourmet Grocer and Cafe. To make your Dad even happier, we have free gift and a free dessert for all Dads who order a main meal at the Café on Sunday 7 September. Remember, we are open extra hours until 4.00pm on Father’s Day.
In addition to a free dessert, Dad will also receive our special Fathers Day Gourmet Indulgence pack, absolutely free. So, there’s no excuse for your Dad not having the perfect Father’s Day!
Some fun for Dad
(and for the dad’s to be!!)
Mess Test: Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flowerbed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
Toy Test: Obtain a extra large box of Lego. (If Lego is not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles.) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream. (This could wake a child at night.)
Grocery Store Test: Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
Dressing Test: Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.
Feeding Test: Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
Night Test: Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 15 kilos of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
Physical Test: Go to the nearest pharmacy. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.
Final Assignment: Find a couple who already has a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve.
Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run riot. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.
Happy Fathers Day to our Dads and all the Dads out there!
