He lifted your spirits when everything felt lost, he applauded you the loudest when you achieved glory and in between all of this he made sure to be your best friend forever.
That means everything you are today, you owe it to dad. And that truly is the best feeling in the world. Because who doesn’t want to be like their papa?
Father’s Day is around the corner and that means your preparations are in full swing. If you’re looking to make it the most memorable day ever, here are some ideas for you that are sure to work their magic.
Say it with flowers
For all the love, values and good wishes he passed on to you over the years, there’s a blooming assortment for each of them. And no! One can never have too many flowers. Mix the blooms up with fine indulgence and you’ve got yourself a delightful father’s day hamper that’s laden with your gratitude.
Plan his day off
Even though fathers always manage to dedicate time to you or the family, unfortunately, they’re not so good at doing that for themselves. So how better to celebrate his special day than by planning a day for him, minus the work and worry? Set up a munchies table next to his favourite spot in the house, place a book there or a tv remote if he loves to binge watch and a dazzling ottoman to rest his feet. And voila! It will be the best date he can have with himself.
Learn his favourite recipe
Love and togetherness bloom over a delicious meal. So pick a recipe that he cooks every weekend or something that was passed down by his mother and put on those matching cooking aprons to whip up a fun time. Cook together and let him pass down his favourite recipe to you. With all the giggles and excitement, it’s sure to become a memory that will stay with both of you forever.
Tackle a DIY project
If spending the day together is what you have in mind, then how better to bond than by taking up his favourite pastime hobbies as an active DIY project? Keep it simple by solving a 1000-piece puzzle or make it crafty by redoing the garden together. There are lots of DIY gardening kits and tools available.
Host a game night
Here’s a simple yet wickedly fun one! Bring out his favourite games and get the family together to compete. Card games, board games or backyard games, your options are endless. Be rest assured, anything you pick will not only elevate the happiness quotient within the family but will remind everyone to carve time for these wonderful moments time and again.
Revisit the old albums
Ever since childhood, your father and you have created innumerable memories that are now stashed away in albums, physical or online. The first time he taught you how to ride a bicycle, that vacation that left core memories, your graduation after-party photo and so many more, sit with him and go down memory lane. By the end of it, you two will be oozing with emotions and incomparable love.
Go on a fun vacay
The best part about Father’s Day this year, it falls on a Sunday! That means you have the opportunity to make an entire weekend of it. Plan a hike if your dad loves adventure. If he’s into wellness then look up some retreats for him or if he’s big on leisure, then book a spacious home away from home and simply bond all day.
