Father's day will be celebrated on June 21. The day is dedicated to the dads around the world to express gratitude for every bit they have done for us. Right from helping you walk your first step to working with you on taxes, your father has always been there! As the saying goes, "Dads are most ordinary men turned into heroes," you must leave no stone unturned to make the superhero of your life happy. If you are planning on buying something for your dad on Father's day why not think of something that will say "thank you" in the most meaningful way? You could always gift him a card or a gadget but why not think a little harder and gift him something he really needs? While each father is different from the other, here is a list of some offbeat gift ideas that will mean way more to him than cake or flowers:
Health Insurance
Throughout his life, you know that he has done a lot for you and has always let his health take a backseat. If you can buy him health insurance or if he already has one pay off some of its instalments. Even if it is not health insurance, maybe a specialised complete health checkup for him. You can also choose from this list of gift ideas for fitness freak dads, from yoga mat to activity tracker, presents for your health-conscious father.
Hobby Classes
Remind him of his hobbies if he has forgotten them! Make him get back to his guitar or cooking. Not only will it make him really happy but also provide him with some quality time doing what he loves.
Remind him of His Achievements
With the help of some creativity, you can find out cool ways to remind him of his own achievements that he has forgotten to cherish throughout his life. You can make a video or a photo frame or even a compilation of what his colleagues and friends have to say about him! It will make him happy to know how proud you are of him.
Mental Health Retreat
Stress has become a part and parcel of our lives. Your dad stresses out too no matter how hard he tries to hide but this fathers day you can buy him a day or a weekend at a mental health retreat where he can relax and rejuvenate.
Yoga Classes
Yoga has so many physical and psychological health benefits. Register him for a yoga class where he can be himself for at least a couple of hours in the day.
The point we want to make here is to gift him something that's really important. In the 40s or 50s father's tend to forget themselves completely and get devoted in your life and now that you're grown, it is important that you remind him of everything that he has missed out in the most special way.
