Get your dad up and moving with the MOGO Now Fusion Red fitness tracker (R999, DionWired).

Give him a new, full set to work with. The Stramm 60-piece Toolkit (R299, Game) comes in a specially designed carry case to keep everything together.Knives

FOR THE DAD WHO WANTS TO TRY SOMETHING NEW

White collar boxing is a popular fitness trend for men (and women!) right now. Even if your father is a total pacifist, he’ll still benefit from the fitness workout of a light sparring session or a go at the punching bag in his local gym. Invest in a pair of Lonsdale Bag Boxing Gloves (R399.90, Sportsmans Warehouse) to keep his knuckles from taking a beating.
