Father's Day/Date : Sun, 16 Jun, 2024
Helping you paddle your cycle for the first time, always waiting by the school gate in the afternoon, or bringing your favorite snack from the market, a father is one of the biggest gifts of life. A protector in childhood, a guide in adolescence, and a friend in youth, fathers have a huge role in making us the people we are, shaping us with their love and experience of life, and deserve all the celebration and surprise gifts we are planning for them this Father’s Day!
With the big day for all fathers (and their children) approaching, getting the perfect Father’s Day gift is bound to be your top priority. We understand the rush and are here with our top picks for Father’s Day 2024. Whether you want to gift your dad something cool and modern or want to surprise him with a classic, traditional present, this list has it all. So let us begin-
With the temperature rising and mercury surprising us every day, your father could certainly use a handcrafted cotton kurta pajama, a timeless Indian menswear. Made with breathable and light fabric, a kurta pajama makes for a comfortable ensemble, which your dad will most certainly adore. Go for soft shades or colorful prints based on his taste, and get a Father’s Day gift that will stay in vogue for decades.
Remember reading your favorite comics with your dad, tugging his shirt to take him to the hawker to buy the latest editions, and collecting money together in your piggy bank to plan your next book purchase? For many of us, father-child bonding happened over a book, introduced to us by our father, which went on to become our absolute favorite.
Well, it is time you do the same for your father. If you have memories of reading together with your dad, get him a book or book set you think he will love, or pick one of your favorites as a Father’s Day gift this year, and discover your shared hobby, once again.
Made with metal, wood, and stone, and shaped in the most awe-inspiring forms, paper weights not only come in handy to, well, keep your papers together, but they also add an artistic touch to the space, making them a perfect accent to table tops decor. If your dad has a witty aesthetic, you can pick a designer paperweight, the perfect way to amp his reading room or office.
Ludo, Chess, Saanp-Seedhi (snake and ladder)- these are staples to the childhood of every Indian. Sitting in one room during a hot summer day, sipping homemade lemonade, and playing board games sums up the summer vacation for most of us.
Get your father a classic Ludo board or a vintage chess set this Father’s Day, or if you wish to discover and learn a new game together, go for ancient Indian games such as Chowka Bhara and Ganjifa cards and get a chance to create new memories while reliving the school days with your dad.
Fathers love a good garden! Do not ask me how, but almost all the fathers across the globe seem to have one shared interest- plants. Cheer your dad up this Father’s Day by bringing stylish vases and flower pots home.
Crafted for indoors and outdoors, these vases are made with durable metal and stone, and embellished with beautiful designs, which will add a lovely touch to the home of his plants, and will surely earn you more than a few praises from your mother for such a useful gift.
Suave and urbane, cufflinks are accessories that stand for a mature and stylish taste, the perfect pick for fathers, who are undefeated fashion icons for their kids. If your father likes to put on a suit for festive occasions, cufflinks make for a perfect present.
Go for a studded cufflink or a traditional yet trendy Bidri cufflink to get the balance of royal and refined just right, and see how proudly your father flaunts his Father’s Day gift at the next party.
Want to keep the gift simple yet timeless for this Father’s Day? Get a handcrafted pen stand to decorate your dad’s work desk. Available in wood, stone, and metal, a pen stand could be a plain holder or elevated with an artistic figure on the side to give it an aesthetic appeal. Whatever the make may be, this gift will make a useful addition to his space, serving as a candid reminder of your thoughtfulness and love.
Sure, we all rely on our digital watches and smartphones to tell us what time it is, but back in our fathers’ day, clocks were an essential part of the interior and an important part of the routine, handled with attention and care. With a lovely table clock as the gift, let your father indulge in a bit of “time travel” this Father’s Day while giving his space a trendy air.
You can go for a modern table clock or go above and beyond with a vintage wood or metal clock, which will serve its main purpose while being an artistic addition to the table.
Maybe he cooked his first dish because your mom was sick, or maybe he is a chef at heart, coming up with tasty dishes that your whole family loves. Whatever the beginning, relishing our dads’ recipes is as heartwarming as eating “Maa Ke Haath Ka Khana”. If your dad has a knack for making yummy meals and enjoys chilling in the kitchen, give his cooking skills a nudge further by buying him useful cookware this Father’s Day.
From a wooden chopping board and spice boxes to serving utensils, coasters, and bowls fashioned out of stone, wood, and metal, this is the perfect chance to curate a cooking space for your dad that is pleasing to the tummy and the eyes.
Last but definitely not least, photo frames are another classic choice for presents, effortlessly entering this list of perfect Father’s Day gift ideas. Crafted in a variety of materials, photo frames are an example of less is more.
