Whether you call him Papa or Pitaji, Abba or Appa, the story of a father is an incredible one. A father works relentlessly throughout his life to ensure that his family finds all the comfort and acts as a shield for everyone. While one should always be grateful to him, Father’s Day comes as an occasion to display our love and respect in a special way.

Unique Ideas for Celebrating Father’s Day

Here are 21 unique ideas for you to consider to make his day memorable:

1. A day with grandkids:

Do you know, whom your parents love more than you? It’s their grandkids. Your father may not say this to you often, but he dearly misses his grandchildren and looks forward to meeting them often. Plan a surprise trip home and see his face light up when the kids go and hug their grandpa.

2. Pay off his debts:

Be it a home, car, or a personal loan, your father may be worried about paying the instalments on time, especially if he is retired or at the end of his career. If your budget allows it, do a full or partial payment of his outstanding amount and see his eyes well up.

3. Plan a surprise reunion with his childhood friends:

With time, your father may have lost touch with his friends, and all you hear are stories of their adventures. It’s time for a reunion. It will take time and effort, but it will be an amazing experience for all of them. You can reach out to the children of his friends and plan it together.

4. Make a collage of your good times:

A sweet message is all it takes to melt his heart. A collage of his cherished memories will make him nostalgic about the beautiful moments spent with his children.

5. A visit to his alma mater:

College days are everyone’s favourite. Take him on a walk down memory lane, literally.

6. Make a calling ritual and speak with him frequently:

While you may check on him regularly, make it a ritual of sorts. For example, make time for Tuesday nights with Dad or call him after every match to analyse the game. It should be like a pact between two people, something both of you look forward to.

7. A call or meeting with his favourite celeb:

These days, there are services that help connect celebs with their fans over video calls. A video message or a short in-person meeting with his favourite personality can make his day. Is your dad a Kapil Dev fan? Just giving an idea.

8. Create a dad jokes book for him:

Dads love dad jokes. Create a book compiling his jokes in a book and gift him with his photo on the book cover.

9. Get him a health check-up:

Prevention is better than cure. At his age, identifying any developing symptoms and treating them in the early stage can be super beneficial. Do you know there are health insurance plans that offer check-ups as part of their coverage? Consider buying senior citizen insurance (if your father is above 60) with adequate coverage.

10. Introduce cosplay to him:

Batman, Superman, Ironman, Shaktiman… let him have some fun wearing a superhero costume. Get one for yourself too and pair up with him. Trust me it’s going to melt even the toughest of the hearts.

11. Fly a kite together:

That’s some way of spending time with the person who taught you to fly high in life.

12. Gift him a bike:

If your father ever traded his dream of a superbike for a comfortable family car, maybe it’s time for you to help him live his dream again.

13. Show him the world:

There is no dearth of scenic places in India, from mesmerising Meghalaya to oh-so-beautiful Kerala. If your budget allows you, you can even think of a foreign trip. However, the idea is not to pick any random place. You know his story and bucket list, so choose a place he can relate to. For instance, if he is a Chelsea FC fan, plan a vacation in London.

14. Get him on the path of being an influencer:

Maybe your father was born to be a rockstar, but circumstances didn't allow him that space and time. But now that he is retired and has a lot of free time, he can do it. Convert a tiny space into his studio. Get him a ring light, a good mic, and a camera, and set up his account on YouTube or Instagram; let him express himself to everyone out there via songs, music, cooking videos, or whatever he is passionate about. Also, do some content marketing manoeuvring to ensure he gets a good reach.

15. Make a reel with him:

Choose a trending song or dialogue to make an Insta reel with your father. Maybe you both can start a channel together and release videos once or twice a week.

16. Start a podcast:

Set up a mini recording studio and just record your conversations with your father. Who knows, you both might become YouTube celebs with a few episodes. If you are recording it look for some hard hitting topics to talk about – ‘Dealing with the pain of missed promotions’ or ‘Coping with sudden loss of a loved one’ or ‘Coping with betrayal or heartbreak.’ You will be amazed to realise how much wisdom your dad holds and how little he has spoken till now. Let others benefit from his wisdom too.

17. Gift him customised socks:

Why? Simply because they are a funny way of letting your father know that he's #1.

18. Become his drone-acharya:

Gift him a drone and teach him how to use it.

19. Paintball:

If he hasn’t done it, then this is one of the safest adventure sports he can enjoy.

20. Put on a show:

Have your kids put on a play or perform a song for him.

21. Tell him he is your superhero:

Last but not least, sit with him and tell him what he means to you and that he is your superhero, your guiding light. They need to hear this more often from their kids during their golden years.

Conclusion

Finding the perfect Father's Day gift is all about understanding your dad's interests and personality. Whether it's a heartfelt homemade gift, a high-tech gadget, or a memorable experience, the best gifts are those that reflect the effort made and create lasting memories. Along with that, you can always gift him a health plan with critical illness insurance add-on to ensure he can avail of quality healthcare facilities in his vicinity without losing sleep or fretting over the mounting medical bills.
