6 Ways to Make Father’s Day Special

Father’s Day is a celebration of everything the dads in our lives do for us. We love and appreciate our dads every day, but this is the one day of the year when we can truly show how much we care.

Fathers are exceptional, all in their own way. As Antoine Francois Prevost once said, “The heart of the father is the masterpiece of nature.”

Here are five ways to make Father’s Day extra special for the dad in your life:

1. Give Dad a break from his day-to-day chores

Whether it’s mowing the lawn or repairing a leaky tap, Dads are usually the ones taking on the “DIY” tasks around the house. Give him a break and ensure his to-do list is completely empty. If he spends a lot of time in the garden, why not get a landscaping company to take over for a while?

2. Give Dad the tools to start a new hobby

Hobbies such as brewing your own beer are currently very popular, with many stores offering kits that include everything you need to start. Why not make it more special by getting involved with Dad in the process?

3. Get him a monthly hobby subscription

If he’s not into brewing his own beer, you can still give Dad a great experience by having some equipment for his hobbies delivered straight to his door.

4. Buy Dad an experience as a gift

In recent times, we are beginning to understand that memories hold more value than material possessions. Instead of purchasing Dad an item, why not give him an unforgettable experience that he will cherish forever? There are numerous incredible options available, such as a supercar track driving experience, golfing, shark cage diving, or tandem paragliding.

5. Make the time to spend the day with Dad

What Dad will truly appreciate is time spent with the people he loves. So, make sure you take the time to spend the day with him. Quality time will mean the world to your Dad and doesn’t cost a fortune. Why not make his favourite lunch or dinner or take over the barbecue duties?

6. Help make sure Dad is medically covered

We care about our fathers and want what’s best for them. If your parents are getting older, you might start to worry whether they are covered for the medical expenses that usually come with advanced age. At TRA, we can help ensure Dad is covered for any shortfall in his medical aid.
