Fathers and father figures from all walks of life deserve to be pampered this Sunday on Father’s Day for their invaluable contribution to the family unit. The mad dash to find meaningful and practical gifts that efficiently express the love and appreciation they deserve has already begun. Stuck on what to get? Here are a few suggestions to aid your Father’s Day shopping!

• Is your father the resident handyman, able to fix almost any problem? The tried and true gift is a tool kit complete with all the fixings perfect for all his repair jobs. Purchase a gift card from his favourite hardware store and have him pick up that one item you didn’t know he had his mind on.

• If your dad is an alcohol enthusiast, his taste embodies the higher shelf bottles, aged whiskey, bourgeoisie brandies, and  10-year-old and above rums. Select his favourite choice, have a drink together and enjoy some bonding time this Sunday. Elevate the activity by doing some research and starting a new tradition! Ageing barrels are sold online enabling you to age your spirits at home. A fun DIY for you and pops!

• When you think of your old man, do you think of a kitchen connoisseur? Maybe he’s the chef of the family or the designated grill master. A brand new knife set, a wok, a new grill, or even a comfortable apron are items your father will not only have him excited to whip up his latest yummy creation but will express your appreciation of him.

You know your dad best! If all else fails, a mug engraved with a heartfelt message or a gift box filled with goodies will save the day! Remember he’ll love you, his child, either way.
