Mother's Day was a while ago and soon it's the fathers' turn. Father's Day is just around the corner. Buying a gift for your dad can be quite a challenge. What does the best man actually like? Could you use some tips to make your father happy on Father's Day? GENTS today mentions a few practical gifts that always score with the fathers of the Netherlands. So feel free to read on. Then you'll know within a few minutes what you are going to give your father on that special Sunday.
Father's Day is always celebrated in the Netherlands on the third Sunday in June. This day, when we put fathers in the spotlight, is the counterpart to Mother's Day. In the early 20th century, this day for fathers was conceived by a woman from the American state of Washington. Due to circumstances, she was raised together with her sisters by her father. Once an adult, she felt that fathers also deserved a special day, but how? The American woman was already familiar with the concept of Mother's Day and decided to establish such a day for fathers as well. Coincidentally, Father's Day was established one year after Mother's Day.
What kind of gift?
Both fathers and mothers are of course always proud of their children. Because of this, every little gift is appreciated. As we get older, it turns out to be difficult to maintain this tradition. Do you go all out with the gift because you are now an adult yourself? Or do you keep it small because it is "just" Father's Day and not a birthday? Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that difficult. GENTS has collected some excellent gifts to give you some inspiration for Father's Day. The key to our success? Fathers often love gifts that are practical.
Practical gifts to give on Father's Day
In general, the gifts you gave when you were little no longer work. Now that you are a bit older, you can give much nicer things to your father on Father's Day! For example, does your father have a favorite drink, is he a big fan of a musician, or does he never miss a match of his sport? Then choosing a gift is super easy. Give a nice gift package, buy a vinyl of that one album, or surprise your dad with tickets for the game. For everyone among us who really has no idea, we at GENTS have collected some practical gifts that are perfect for Father's Day:
- A special tie (office-working dads never have enough of those);
- Cufflinks with a personal story;
- A stylish tie clip;
- Cheerful socks.
Combining small gifts
Don't you like giving just a few accessories on Father's Day? Then combine it with something else! Suppose your father enjoys a red wine from time to time. There are stores that have a nice gift packaging for a bottle showing the collar of a tuxedo. How fun is it to combine such a gift packaging for Father's Day with a bow tie and cufflinks! Is your dad more of a fan of pastries and sweets? Then buy a nice cake and, for example, put the tie around it in advance.
Father's Day will definitely be a success now that you (with a little help from GENTS) know what to buy for your father!
