In case you forgot, Father’s Day is tomorrow, Sunday, 15 June. But if the special day slipped your mind, don’t stress because there’s still time to get an amazing and affordable last-minute gift.
Since it is mid-month, and you don’t want to fork out a huge sum of cash, gifts or experiences that won’t break the bank are ideal. A good starting point is to think about your father’s hobbies or interests.
If your dad is a soccer lover, then it is a good idea to get him some merchandise related to his favourite club. For the music-loving dads, try finding a vintage CD from their favourite singer. You can usually find vintage items for a relatively decent price on Facebook Marketplace, just make sure the seller is legitimate and follow safety tips. If you’re still struggling to think about a good gift, here are more options.
GIFT CARD FOR A STREAMING SERVICE
If your father is a fan of action-packed movies, this may be the ideal gift. Streaming gift cards for a month are pretty inexpensive. Just make sure the streaming site you choose features some of your dad’s favourite movies.
BILTONG AND BEER FOR DAD
You probably cannot go wrong with a man crate. They can be affordable if you put them together yourself. Just source some good biltong, maybe some dried fruit and of course, beer. Then, put all the items in a gift basket.
SPEND QUALITY TIME THIS FATHER’S DAY
Remember, Father’s Day is all about celebrating your dad. This means spending quality time with the main man, just may be the ideal gift. You could host a braai or even just whip up some brekkie and spend the day relaxing together.
If your dad is an outdoorsman, perhaps a fishing trip or a hike to a special spot may be the ideal day for him. Bonus points if you carry snacks for the day.
According to Millennium Care, shorter amounts of quality time are more rewarding than longer periods of enforced time. This means that regardless of how you choose to honour your father, make sure you both enjoy the special day.
