Father’s day is just around the corner – 21st June 2020. This year is a special year for us as our usual way of celebrations are definitely off since social distancing restrictions are likely to be in place for a while.
If you do not live together with your father under the same roof and y'all couldn't celebrate together, don’t let your dad be disappointed! Absent makes the heart grows fonder and never let physical distance comes in between the relationship.
In addition, It may be difficult to have an outdoor celebration this year- traveling, hiking, movie or picnic in a park, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t put it any effort into making this day special as an appreciation for our father.
Are you looking for ideas for the exceptional celebration this year and make them smile?
1. Bake a Homemade Cake
There is nothing simpler than showing your love towards your father than baking a mouth-watering cake on this day just for him! If you are a rookie baker, just give it a try on something simple yet delectable such as brownies. It requires little ingredient with a little amount of time and a higher success rate.
Undeniably, the cake will capture your father’s heart no matter how it tastes like. Still not convince? Grab your phone and order one online! Make it a total surprise for him and make sure you order his favorite flavor! Celebrations with a delicious cake are a perfect match for every occasion.
2. Movie Night
When is the last time that you watched a movie together with your father? Try it on father’s day! Pick his favorite movie and watch it together with some snacks.
If you prefer something extraordinary, crack open a bottle of wine and toast it with our family to celebrate father’s day. Enjoy it while watching the movie.
3. Have A Video Call with Family
For those of you where you are staying away from your parents, restriction in our movement doesn't mean we cannot make social plans with our loved one. Don’t let physical distance become a hindrance to you.
In this digital era, let’s make use of the most convenient tool available by having a video call with family. We can plan a surprise by planning a group video call with all your siblings and relatives to him, wishing him a happy father’s day!
4. Create A “Gift Box”
A DIY project as a gift to your father means more than anything else in the world. As usual, we will order something online and pack it in a box. This year, let us fill the box with meaningful crafts such as greeting cards, origami arts, or confetti.
Another great idea will be making him some chocolates, painting, milk candles, an explosion box, scrapbook, a string of memories, and many others. Go online to get more inspirations for gift ideas.
Then, get the delivery guy to send it over to him as a surprise.
5. Spend Some Quality Time Together By Viewing Photo Albums
Go down the memory lane and try to recall the beautiful moments by viewing photo albums together. Let him share the silly & innocent moments when you are young and in return, you may share your favorite childhood memories with him.
Besides, you can view his photo when he is young and handsome and recall the old vibrant days! Surely, we will be surprised how much he had gone through until his age and maybe, we can learn something from his wisdom too!
A man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. Let us plan this day well and show our love as well as appreciation to him.
