This year Father’s Day has an added difficulty: confinement. The coronavirus epidemic that keeps us at home will undoubtedly have made the typical purchased gift more difficult to obtain, or directly that we have not arrived on time.
No matter. We have the surprises that your father needs on his day without leaving home or approaching those few shops that the state of alarm imposed has left open.
That’s why this year on Father ‘s Day, originality will win points compared to the most classic gifts with these ideas that you can put in place to make him happy even if you can’t leave home.
make him breakfast
What if you wake up dad with a super breakfast in bed
Scrambled eggs, some toast with avocado or butter and jam and a hot cup of coffee will surely make him start the day on the right foot and he thanks you very much. If you are not a very early riser, you can wait until noon and prepare his favorite food, he will surely love it.
Prepare a sports session for him
In these times of confinement that we live in, it won’t hurt to move a little bit. You can organize a sports session for the whole family in the living room, or, if the weather is good, on the terrace or in the garden . In recent days thousands of options have emerged that you can consult on the Internet to makesport, yoga or pilates at home and you can do it between the two of you.
Record a video
If some of the brothers live abroad or even if it’s you, technology is on your side and can help you give dad the perfect surprise. Record a video of congratulations or in a funny tone, dress up or do a dance or a parody . You will surely die laughing!
Prepare a surprise gift box
Surely you have heard of the popular ‘smart box’ or, even, you may have already given one. Why not create a homemade ‘smart box’
Find a cardboard box, decorate it and put ‘vouchers for’ insideactivities that you might like and that, when all this happens, you can do together. Some suggestions: Voucher for… ‘An afternoon of football’, ‘A visit to the museum’ or ‘A meal at your favorite restaurant’ . We leave it to your choice!
Give him a good wine
Fortunately, supermarkets are open in these days of confinement. If dad is passionate about good wines , go to the nearest supermarket and look for a good bottle of wine that will brighten up his meal that day. If you also have a sybaritic father who loves gin and tonics, you will leave him delighted with a kit to prepare gin and tonics at home .
Create a custom playlist
Is there anything elsePersonal than music
In the old days, lovers used to record tapes and CDs, but in the 21st century, it’s a bit outdated. Create a personalized playlist on Spotify and share it with him.
It is a cheap and original gift that he will surely be able to listen to when he can go running again or the next time you make a trip to the beach or the mountains in the car.
Give him a subscription to a digital platform
We have a few days of confinement left, we still don’t know how many. How about giving him a subscription to a digital platform like Netflix or HBO . It is a little more expensive than the previous option but think that it is a gift for the whole family and which you can also make use of.
