The alcohol ban was lifted at the beginning of June, allowing sales for the first time in two months.
Why not pick up a case of dad’s favourite beer? Or you can support a local brewery by ordering some craft beer online.
4. Learn something new together

You are never too old to learn something new so set aside some time to bond over a mutual hobby or interest.
You can take an online class or download an app to up your skills. Learn a new language, improve your culinary or gardening skills, master the art of photography or chess – the options are endless.
5. Check places off your bucket list

Travelling may not be an option right now but that doesn’t mean you can’t see the world from the comfort of your home.
Take a virtual tour and visit the Louvre Museum in Paris or the British Museum in London, the Georgie Aquarium in USA (largest aquarium in the world), Disney World, Unesco World Heritage site Macchu Picchu or tropical paradise Hawaii.
