Hello, did you know that Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 17? That means you have got a good week’s head start to put some thought into what you are gifting him this year. It also means its time to stop searching online for a “World’s Greatest Dad” mug (how many have you given already?). We have assumed a father figure for this Father’s Day and here are some of our out-of-the-box gift ideas that will make your dad happy.
7 Unique Gifting Ideas To Make Daddy Dearest Happy This Father's Day
A Bottle (Or Two) Of Premium Single Malt Whiskey
If your father appreciates fine whiskey, there’s nothing like gifting him a bottle (or two) of a single malt. Bangalore-based Amrut’s collection of single malt whiskey is something worth giving your father. Pick from Indian Single Malts, Fusion, Cask, and the Greedy Angels Chairman’s Reserve 12 years. The last one is almost a collector’s edition and we can almost imagine how cool your dad will feel having one in his bar cabinet.
Price: INR 3,000 upwards. You can pick up your bottle Madhuloka or Drops outlets across town.
A Portable Leatherette Briefcase Bar Set
If your dad already boasts of an amazing alcohol collection, then it’s probably better that you get him this cool bar set that is portable too. Come picnics or barbecues, your dad set up his mini bar and play bartender. The set comes complete with glasses, a bottle opener, a classy hip-flask, and ice tongs. There’s also space to keep a bottle of whiskey. He’ll love it, we’re sure, because we are already planning on getting this for our dad!
Price: INR 1,999. You can buy it here.
A Funky Turntable
Is Dad a fan of Elvis Presley? Or The Beatles? Turns out Calypso, a record and music store in Jayanagar has vinyl records of the said musicians as well a massive selection of good old Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and The Eagles. The only other thing you need get is this ION turntable that’s portable and comes with built-in stereo speakers. The whole thing comes in a suitcase design, meaning your dad can take his music wherever he goes. Get him this and watch him groove to some old-school and retro cool music.
