Days fly by when you’re having fun. Seemingly even more so between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Since Father’s Day is just around the corner, here is a list of possible saves. Even if you order now and merely show proof of the online purchase on Sunday.
Although Father’s Day is not necessarily celebrated by everyone, it’s always a good idea to spoil your dad. Whether it is in the form of a gift or an experience.
If you’re lucky, you might still get a spot for you and your dad at The Marabi Club’s Father’s Day Lunch & Jazz. Bookings can be made via dineplan.com and doors open at 12PM on Sunday. In addition to some spectacular whiskey, you will also be getting a 3-course lunch.
Baskiti’s larger-than-normal, 100% leather toiletry bag (R699) is a brilliant gift. Handmade with real, soft leather, it also includes a waterproof liner and a YKK zip, which makes it both tough and good-looking – like dad. Additionally, it can also be personalised.
No dad ever has enough braai tools, hence having a hanging storage bag for it, is ideal. It poses the perfect solution for those braai tools and goods lying around, ultimately having both dad and mom rejoicing about the decluttered braai area. The bag (available from R950) can also be folded and packed for weekends away. And, if you’re feeling generous it comes in a stylish leather look.
The Cotton Company is all about traditional handwoven textiles and slow fashion. If your dad enjoys items made from the highest quality textiles, a handwoven robe (R1129) might be a great idea. Simultaneously stylish and multifunctional, it’s perfect for post-showers or swims, but also the ideal light day coat.
Whether it’s for the taste or for the idea of travelling, let Laphroaig transport you and your dad to the rugged Scottish island, Islay. This single malt Scotch whisky is perfectly peated, posing as a great gift for a rugged dad who enjoys the tastes of Scotland. Laphroaig’s 10 Year Old Whisky, Laphroaig Select and Laphroaig Quarter Cask are all available at Makro.
If not one of these, a simple hug would probably also suffice. After all, isn’t Father’s Day about celebrating dad’s love?
