And, filial duty dictates that our fathers and father figures do indeed receive something on Father’s Day. This year, Father’s Day takes place on Sunday, the 6th of September, 2026 in Australia. Steer away from dedicated Father’s Day gift curations in department stores and supermarkets; we can assure you dad doesn’t want another ‘World’s Best […]

These Unconventional & Asymmetrical Watches Think Outside The Circle

Henry Blake — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 01:06:43 +0000

Regardless of whether you tend to gravitate towards tool or dress watches, it’s quite likely your watch of choice will be circular and almost certain it will be symmetrical. It’s only natural given watches are used to measure the passing of time in equal increments (just think back to all those primary school maths lessons visually depicting fractions in the form of pies or pizzas). Plus, wristwatches are derived from pocket watches, which were exclusively created in round shapes to […]

We know this because a vast majority of these are delivered to our inbox at an alarming rate, most of them—regrettably, but rightfully—almost instantaneously deposited into the trash.

Smell Like A Sexy Ashtray (Or Don’t!) With The Best Tobacco Fragrances

Theo Rosen — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 23:34:53 +0000

Smoking is something of a relic. Between heavy excises on tobacco, a public health campaign running almost three decades, and graphic anti-smoking ads a compulsory fixture on cigarette boxes around the country, smoking has officially become passé in Australia.
