The month of May was dedicated to spoiling Mom. Now that we are in the month of June, it is time to give Dad those same spoils!
This year, instead of settling for traditional gifts, why not surprise your dad with something that aligns with his unique interests and passions?
Below are six different types of dads and gift ideas that will make this Father’s Day truly memorable.
If your dad is a lover of all things automotive, consider giving him a personalised driving experience. Look for local businesses that offer luxury car rentals or exotic car driving tours, allowing him to enjoy his favourite cars on a thrilling adventure – even if it is just for an hour or two. Add lunch with his favourite daughter or son and you’re golden.
For the dad who loves firing up the grill and savouring delicious flavours, enhance his braai experience with top-notch braai tools and accessories. A set of professional-grade stainless steel barbecue utensils or a high-quality meat thermometer will make his cooking sessions even more enjoyable. You could also surprise him with a selection of gourmet marinades, rubs, and spices to add a burst of flavour to his culinary creations.
If your dad thrives on adrenaline and adventure, consider giving him an experience he’ll never forget. Look for opportunities to book a skydiving session, a paragliding adventure, or a bungee jumping experience. Alternatively, if he enjoys water sports, consider a scuba diving course or a white-water rafting trip. These thrilling activities will provide him with an adrenaline rush and create lasting memories.
Be warned, these dads are expensive! For the dad who is always up to date with the latest gadgets and technology trends, explore the world of smart home devices. Consider giving him a voice-controlled smart speaker or a virtual reality headset to take his gaming experience to the next level.
If your dad loves spending time in nature and enjoys outdoor activities, gear him up with essential outdoor equipment. Depending on his interests, consider gifting him a durable hiking backpack, or a versatile multi-tool for his outdoor adventures. You could also consider a subscription to an outdoor magazine or a guidebook to help him discover new trails and destinations.
For the wine-loving dad, consider gifting him a bottle of FAT bastard Shiraz. This bold and rich red wine is sure to impress his palate. With deep, dark flavours of blackberry, plum, and hints of spice, it offers a velvety smooth texture and a long, satisfying finish, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses. Present this exceptional wine to your dad along with a personalised wine opener or a set of wine-tasting glasses to create unforgettable moments with your wine-loving dad.
