With Father’s Day to be celebrated on June 16 this year, why not show your dad how much he means to you with a special gift?
How can you make this Father’s Day extra special for your dad?
Although he may insist he does not need or want anything, a carefully chosen card and a small, thoughtful gift will really make him feel loved and appreciated.
Here are some fantastic ideas for unique gifts to put a smile on his face:
1. A braai hamper – If your dad loves a good braai, this could be the perfect gift for him this year. Put together a few bottles of his favourite spices and sauces, braai tools, a cool apron and a small cooler box where he can keep his beers cold, then encourage him to take some time off and enjoy a lekker braai with the family!
2. A thrilling new book – There is nothing quite like the escape of a great novel. If your dad enjoys reading, there are plenty of fantastic literary options available, both on the local and international market, to cater for his tastes.
3. A biltong cake – This has become the quintessential South African gift for those who love biltong. Biltong cakes usually consist of droe wors, shaved biltong and biltong sticks, held together by a ribbon and decorated to look like an actual cake. It’s definitely a showstopper!
4. A book of coupons – Endless chores are the bane of every parent. You may only realise this when you are an adult, but cleaning up after a family is a lot of hard work, and parents usually do this without complaint. A book of homemade coupons could be just the trick to show your love and thoughtfulness. Consider adding coupons for the following: cleaning the pool, changing lightbulbs, mowing the lawn, a day off to watch the sport matches with no interruptions etc. You can personalise this to suit your needs and his.
5. A massage voucher – Even dads like to be pampered, although they may never admit it! He works hard, so reward him with a day of rest and relaxation. A full body massage will work nicely to relieve stress and tension and help him rejuvenate for the weeks ahead.
6. Send him on a date night with your mom – What better way to celebrate your dad’s love than by sending him on a surprise date with the love of his life? Those precious moments alone together mean a lot to them. Book them a romantic date at any of Newcastle’s local establishments, where you can arrange with management to set up candles and order a special dessert for the two of them.
The Newcastle Advertiser wishes all fathers, grandfathers, step dads and special fathers a Happy Father’s Day! We hope you have a relaxing day, filled with love and blessings.
