Father's Day is approaching on Sunday 20th June and will be particularly special for dad's, son's & daughter's who were unable to spend the day together last year due to Covid restrictions.
If you're struggling with ideas of what to gift your older dad, not to worry as we are here to come to your rescue! Whatever your dad's interests, we are sure that there will be something below that will take his fancy.
Top 5 Father's Day Gift Ideas...
1. Book a meal out at his favourite restaurant
Due to many older people being advised to self-isolate last year and restaurants being closed for durations throughout the pandemic, it's likely that your dad has missed getting dressed up in his Sunday best to go out for a meal with the family.
Taking him out for a meal will not only bring some normality back for your dad, but it will also mean he gets a delicious meal cooked for him and that he gets to spend quality time with his family.
We recommend booking well in advance to avoid any disappointment as Father's Day is a very busy day of the year for restaurants and social distancing means they have fewer tables to book! Tripadviser company, TheFork, is a great website to find restaurants near you to book!
2. Bake Dad his favourite sweet treat or if you don't live locally, arrange for a local bakery to deliver something yummy to his address.
Who doesn't love a gooey chocolate brownie or a choc-chip cookie?! You cannot go wrong with baking Dad his favourite guilty pleasure.
If you're not a born-baker, or you simply don't live close-by to your Dad, there are many bakery businesses that offer delivery service, more so since the pandemic. Here are a few national companies that offer this service (we do recommend supporting local bakeries if you can):
- Bettys - Bettys offer a great range from their 'Happy Father's Day Chocolate Cake' (pictured) to their 'The Montpellier Gift Box' which includes a selection of 10 delicious products.
