It’s that time of the year where we get to thank the most important men in our lives, whether that’s our dads or the father of our children! June the 16th is D-Day this year and we’ve sussed out some great Father’s Day gifts and present ideas. They include funky swimwear, cooler boxes – even barbecue goodies!
Upgrade his boardies with Sandbar Swimwear
There’s a new high-end family swimwear brand in town and its tackling plastic waste one stylish swimsuit at a time. Head down to Tanglin Mall for your Father’s Day shopping and browse the eco-friendly Sandbar label which is on a mission to remove one million kilograms of plastic from our oceans.
Founded by mum and environmentalist Mel Reid in 2022, Sandbar Swimwear is created using REPREVE, a unique fabric made entirely of recycled plastic bottles. Plus, for every garment that Sandbar sells, 1kg of plastic waste is removed from the ocean through its collaboration with Seven Clean Seas. Wow!
Shop the Sandbar range for matching swimwear for the entire family that can be personalised with initials or names. In addition to 15 bright ocean and beach inspired prints, the swimwear has a UPF50+ rating, making it ideal for sun protection in our tropical climate.
Dad will especially love Sandbar’s premium quick-dry Swim Shorts. Each pair is made from between four and eight recycled plastic bottles. With an active fit and ultra-soft inner mesh that doesn’t collect water, they’re perfect for chasing children around in!
For something extra special, check out Sandbar’s embroidered design collection. Choose from mantas, flamingos, lobsters and turtles, all embroidered onto the shorts and available in both short and long cut. It’s the perfect Father’s Day present!

Sip in style with dad on Father’s Day
If he loves a cool drink (or three!) outdoors, there’s no better present for him this Father’s Day than the Fieldbar Drinks Box. Handcrafted in Cape Town, it’s got a fanatical following all around the world, from London’s Harrods to the US, Europe, and even down under in Australia.
Finally, it’s available in Singapore – all thanks to entrepreneurial expat Bronwynn Ford of By Brody. She secured the distributorship to bring Fieldbar to Singapore because of her belief that outdoor leisure is best enjoyed with elegance and timeless style.
These stylish cooler boxes keep champagne and ice below 10°C for an impressive 50 hours and have a five-year warranty. They’re sustainably designed and come in six timeless colours, with feature leather carry handles and beautiful metallic accents. They can accommodate two bottles of champagne, three bottles of wine or 10 beers.
With the Fieldbar Drinks Box, dad can kick back, relax and enjoy the finer things in life – whether that’s a dreamy beach day on Sentosa or a dinner get-together with friends, a sailing adventure or relaxing at the pool.
To order (launch price: $288), email bron@bybrody.com or WhatsApp +65 9721 1570.
Competition time! For a limited time only, each order for a Fieldbar Drinks Box entitles you one entry to come up with a set of Singapore-inspired names for its colour range (currently Orchard Orange, Safari White, Sea Boat Blue, Parisian Green, Oyster Grey and Oazaruto Blue). The winner with the most inspired set of names will win a second Fieldbar Drinks Box in the colour of their choice, with an interchangeable long leather sling strap. Email bron@bybrody.com to learn more!
