Spending time with Dad this Father’s Day

Being a Father is hard. Taking decisions which affect your child’s life can’t be easy or fun most of the times. Father’s Day is a day to honour this man who has always loved you to bits, put your needs before his. It’s not a day to buy him another shirt. It is day to tell him that all the hard decisions he made in life paid off because he has been the best father to you. Give him a Father’ Day Gift he will cherish forever – time with you. We have some great gift ideas on how you can spend Father’ Day with your Dad this year. Check them out. 

Cookathon – If your dad believes, the family that eats together, stays together, he will love nothing more than a lazy Sunday brunch which the two of you have put together. Gift him an apron that declares him the world’s best cook, a recipe book with his favourite cocktails for the two of you to try out, an ipod and a docking station with his favourite music pre-loaded on it which you listen to while you cook and sing along loudly. Throw in some funky glasses and accessories to make your lunch super fun.

Memoirs – Put together a book or an album of all your favourite memories with Dad. Get stories from mum, your older siblings, friends, neighbours, anyone who can tell you stories of how your dad went to the greatest length’s to give you a better life, funny stories. Collect pictures and put them altogether. Spend the afternoon leafing through the album together reliving precious moments. Alternatively, buy a multiple photo frame and put in some of your best pictures together. If he likes his gadgets, gift him a digital photo frame instead.

Long and winding roads – Go on a long drive with Dad. Stop at the local chai wala for tea and short eats, stop at random places and take pictures, splash about in a lake, watch the sunset from a hilltop in silence. You can gift a car cooler for his car so he is cool whenever he travels, a camera for him to experiment with on your trip and new hiking boots to scale the mountain and gain new experiences. He will appreciate the time away from the chaos of everyday life.

Time and tide wait for no man. Tell your father this Father’s Day that he is truly the noblest, strongest, handsome and lovable person in the whole wide world. Nothing will make him more proud.
