Father’s Day, 20 June, is the time to really show dad how much you appreciate him and everything he does. If you are wondering about what to do on Father’s Day? We suggest you dedicate the whole day to doing something that dad loves! Whatever his favourite activity is, he will be delighted to know you made the effort to indulge him. If you need some inspiration, we have listed our top picks for Father’s Day activities in South Africa!
Get outside
South Africa is a beautiful country and even the winter chill cannot stop us from enjoying the outdoors. The golf-loving dad will have a ‘ball’ practising his swing at the driving range. Or give him the whole day off to play the full course! Make sure he looks the part on the green with a personalised golf shirt. If he wants to include the whole family in his favourite pastime, a day of putt-putt will ‘put-put’ a smile on his face.
No matter where you are in the country, a walk through nature with your dad is always a good idea. It’s the low-cost activity that will provide you with the best memories. Take a stroll along the beach or get his heart rate up with an adventurous hike. Whatever pace dad chooses, make sure he stays hydrated with a personalised water bottle. For the ultra-active dad, or if he just wants to look extra stylish on his special day, kit him out with Father’s Day activewear.
Get in the kitchen
Is there any better way to celebrate Father’s Day in South Africa than with a braai? Whether your dad is the master of the tongs or just loves a good meal, gather everyone together and prepare a feast fit for a king. Make sure dad gets served something special from the Father’s Day kitchenware range, like a personalised chopping board. It’s not only great to slice and dice on, he can also use it to present a scrumptious spread.
A good braai isn’t complete without something to sip on. If dad loves to try out new drinks, host your own wine or beer tasting right at home. It’s a unique activity that you can personalise to everyone’s tastes and dad might find his new favourite drink. Simply curate a selection of fine alcohol from NetFlorist, you can even order beer online and get it delivered straight to your door. That way you don’t have to make a last-minute trip to the bottle store and miss out on all the fun.
Get together for Father’s Day
We are sure that what dad wants most for Father’s Day 2021 is to have his family around him. If your dad is a film fanatic or just wants a cosy night in, then a movie night is the best way to get the Father’s Day show on the road. But a movie night isn’t complete without snacks! A man crate or bro bucket has all of dad’s favourites packed into one handy container, that way he never has to pause for a refill.
A night of puzzles or board games is fun for the entire family! Give dad the honour of picking the game and ensure he’s comfy for his victory lap in a personalised gown. Finish off this snug night-in with a gift from our winter selection to make sure dad is feeling the love (and warmth!).
Get connected for Father’s Day
Sometimes we can’t physically spend Father’s Day together. But being apart doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate Father’s Day at all. With a little effort and preparation, you can still plan an activity to make dad feel honoured. Schedule a quiz night over video chat and pick a topic that interests him. Get a set of headphones or a personalised power bank delivered straight to dad’s door. That way you know he will have the right equipment to enjoy himself!
The trick to planning a great Father’s Day activity is to make sure it’s something dad will not only enjoy but appreciate. He does so much for you so it’s your turn to dedicate an entire day to him by doing something he loves. Even if that is just letting him hog the couch and snacks. If you need more ideas, just pair a fabulous gift from the NetFlorist Father’s Day range with some quality time together for a winning combination.
