Gifting Ideas for Father’s Day 2021

‘Thaththi’, ‘daddy’, ‘dad’- whatever you may call him- they’re all undoubtedly synonymous with the word ‘superhero’. That’s right- our dads are our role models, childhood champions, go-to support systems and so much more. We’ll always look up to them, no matter how tall we grow. Well- dad always saves the day, and now with Father’s Day just around the corner on the 20th of June- it’s your turn!

You want to do something special- yes, you definitely agree. But we get it: it’s hard to put into words or actions just how much the special man means to you. Shopping for guys is always twice as hard as shopping for girls- and the same applies to parents- there’s a huge range of gifting possibilities when it comes to Amma, but you may be a little lost when it comes to getting something great for Thaththi.

While finding a thoughtful gift that he’ll actually like can be a struggle, it’s the perfect way to express the affection and appreciation we hold in our hearts for these unsung heroes. We’re saving you the stress this year with this list of awesome and practical Father’s Day gifts- that are not only suitable for dads, but also for grandads, uncles and any fatherly figure. So read on and enjoy!

Gift Boxes

Curated gift boxes are a go-to gift because their contents can be totally customised to suit your dad’s interests- be it work stationery, fashion or tech items, and of course his favourite treats. And what’s more, as the name suggests, they come in cool boxes so you’re spared the hassle of wrapping and packaging.

Robed Gift Works

Known for their artisan boxes, Robed has some great packages for all the superadds out there. The items in their boxes are:

  • Ties and funky socks
  • Customised denim tote bags/ aprons and mugs/ bottles
  • Bath and body products like artisan soap, aftershave toner and beard oil
  • Treats such as flavoured nuts, milk toffees and cookies
  • Toolsets, pouches, etc.

You can customise your package based on items and budget, and they are delivering island-wide during travel restrictions as well.

From the Kids

Life doesn’t come with a manual; it comes with a father. True- dads are our children’s No. 1 teacher, instructors and best friends both when they’re growing up and after. Until they do grow up, however, young mums find themselves with the responsibility of looking for a Father’s Day gift on behalf of the kids. Don’t worry, we’ve not forgotten about you- this section is here to help! Here are a couple of options for you to show the young and fun dads how special they are to both your little one and you.

 

Kidscape

This is a startup focused on making learning wholesome and fun- and they specialise in kids’ craft boxes. They have two Father’s Day boxes containing DIY Father’s Day crafts (with guidelines of course), stationery kits and yummy treats- so your kid can really get creative while putting together a lovely token of appreciation for his/ her favourite superhero.

Little Me Not books

This is a collection of children’s books focused on illustrating the beauty of daily Sri Lankan life, and they’re launching a special Father’s Day edition! Titled ‘Have you met my daddy?’, this book is guaranteed to be a heartwarming gift like no other for Thaththi. Sharing the read with his little one will definitely make a precious memory he will hold dear for years to come.

Contact: 0776 296 564

 

Side tip: Rather than just a gift, focus on how you can make the day extra-enjoyable for your Thaththi with a memorable experience. It could perhaps be cooking up his favourite dessert/ dish, a dedicated song rendition, a fun performance/ game or a handmade gift. You can also focus specifically on your dad’s personal interests (e.g. gardening, cooking, a sport, etc.).

So there you have it, folks! We hope this list is a helping hand when it comes to choosing a gift that will go a long way in showing your dad how important he is to you.

What would your dad love to receive? Any personal preferences? Have we missed out on any great options? Do let us know in the comments section below!
