Father’s Day: Gifting Ideas

‘Father’s Day’ is being observed across the globe. Post pandemic, as we seek more and more ways to show we care, gifting gestures indeed make the cut. Plan a thoughtful gift that your father would truly appreciate - Take a look at the shopping themes and cues…

TIP 1: ADVENTURE GETAWAY

A holiday that has been high on your father’s wish list is the best destination to take him to. As per his mobility comfort levels, plan a day to trek or hit the beaches, go paragliding or learn surfing.

In India, domestic tourism is absolutely up to the mark. Leading resorts and hotels have begun to offer pre-monsoon discounts in June. Spiritual tourism or Temple trail is a big attraction - Go ahead, make the most of it.

International destinations that are of closer proximity including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Maldives, Singapore, Mauritius and have easy visa regulations are the best options.

 

TIP2: WELLNESS DAY

Increase the fun quotient by improving wellness and fitness levels for your father. While a soothing relaxing therapeutic spa would be ideal to take care of his backache or sore muscles, you can also enroll him in a yoga session or local gymnasium classes for seniors. Extend the wellness theme with a full-year membership. One of the best enrolments is with a personal trainer or an instructor who can visit home and help your father with his fitness goals as per his age and health limitations.

TIP 3: LONG WEEKEND VISIT

Father’s Day falls on Sunday and if you work or live in different cities then you can easily pre-book your flight ticket or train ticket and surprise your father at home over a weekend. Use your credit card points to redeem and get an airline ticket at no cost. Check the credit card website for more details. If your father lives with you or in the same city, then spend the entire day with him with a wholesome plan in hand. The gift of time is of great value, plan a professional photoshoot with him. Photography agencies in your location are easy search online via social media like Facebook or Instagram and book a slot. It’s time to update your family album.

TIP 4: HIT THE OUTDOORS

Every parent wishes to have better communication channels with their children. By moving to the outdoors and changing the home environment, your father and you could enjoy the sunset or open skies and get chatting. Go biking or hiking where nature trails are possible. Several domestic nature trails are listed on social media platforms where an inquiry can present ready options for the two of you. Plan a visit to a nature reserve, bird watching session, ocean or lake side trail or a simple cycle ride with a like-minded group that goes pedaling in the city. Stop by later to have tea and traditional breakfast at your father’s favorite restaurant and make his day special.


TIP 5: GIFT A BOOK BY HIS FAVOURITE AUTHOR

Reading a classic novel or motivational series can be nice gift for your father. Find out his favorite genre or author and pick the latest book from the stands for him. Write a personal note, which is visible on the first page of the book and make Father’s Day all about him feeling special.

ON A SOLEMN NOTE: Gratitude is a virtue that this world needs at this hour. If you wish to do something worthwhile in the memory of your loving father then choose to empower marginalized sections of society who have been affected by Covid-19. Donate to a cause close to your father’s heart – be it for school kids, healthcare, the country’s brave soldiers, old-age home, food and medication for the needy - Your caring gesture could save the day for a hungry soul. Plan ahead and make Father’s Day count!
