Father’s Day is our chance to shower our first guy friend aka our dad with unwavering love and undivided attention. Even though we are grateful for all that our dads do for us on a daily, Father’s Day is that designated day when we look forward to putting a pause on the worries of our world and rejoice in taking out time to spend with our old (or maybe not so old) man. And to make this day even more memorable for our dads, we have curated ten celebration ideas that are minimum fuss and whole lotta love. ICYMI, Father’s Day is on 16 June, which is a Sunday, all the more reason to plan a chill weekend with Dad
10 Simple & Fun Father’s Day Celebration Ideas To Make Your Dad's Sunday Special
Go Out For a Spin
₹5530
If it’s got wheels and speed, then sign my dad up for it! Just like all dads, my dad too is an adrenaline junkie, always looking for a chance to put his spinning skills on display. And so, taking him go-karting would be an unforgettable experience. To 'fuel' things further, why not carry a Polaroid camera along and capture his revving moment forever? As for us kids, whether you are a seasoned pro or a newbie, the thrill of the race always ignites the inner child in all of us.
Plan A Games Night
₹2499
Yes, you read it right. My dad was the person who introduced me to Lego, and I am biased toward our Lego-building memories over the rest. It reminds me of those unbothered days when the only thing that mattered was making better-looking Lego builds than my dad and brings back sweet nostalgia I will always be grateful for. But, if Lego is not your thing, you can switch to Monopoly, Jenga, Poker, Uno, or whatever sails your boat. Game on!

Slip Into Brunch
₹1499
Meal planning is my favourite task of the day, no kidding. I am constantly planning my next coffee, and next food outing, but the credit for eliciting this food craze within me goes to my dad. So, when I tell you that a lavish spread of brekkie goods is the best start to Father’s Day, you have to take my word. And no, we are not talking about boring cheese omelette with bacon, think of being extra, like a cheese fondue with sourdough or DIY pancakes to be a bit more artsy.
At-Home Pampering
₹2993
Shop On
If your dad appreciates face masks and massages, then sign him up for an at-home spa day! What’s better than a good read and soothing undereye patches after a tiring week at work? Honestly, nothing. With a few hacks here and there, you will be able to give him the best pampering session at home. Start with lighting a few scented candles, arranging white linens and towels to make it aesthetic, and finally hoarding up on a few selfcare essentials for your favourite man.
Cooking Session With Dad
₹499
For foodie dads like mine, nothing beats the simple pleasure of gorging on appetizing food (especially homemade) with your loved ones around you. The heart-warming experience of enjoying delicious food, cracking jokes, and sharing conversations while cooking together is the ultimate unwinding celebration. This feels wholesome to the core. Who knows, you might even start a new Father’s Day family tradition.
Pro-Tip: To avoid creating a hot mess in the kitchen, consider getting your hands on DIY meal kits.
Plan A Staycation
₹1530
A change of scenery is always nice, so why not give our dads a break from the daily and take them out for a memorable weekend getaway? You can visit a nearby town or city that your dad always wanted to visit or plan a short trip to a scenic location of your liking. Spend the day exploring culture and nature together while making innumerable sweet memories! Make sure you plan the itinerary well in advance to avoid any last-minute hiccups.

Wine Tasting At Home
₹989
Let’s level up this Father’s Day and give our dads an epic at-home wine-tasting experience! Bring in the reds, the whites, the rosés and anything and everything vino you can gather at home. Amp the evening up with a fancy charcuterie board, a lip-smacking mezze plank or your dad’s favourite pizza (can never go wrong). And if your dad is a wine connoisseur, surprise him with a fancy-schmancy book on wine as a gift.
Organise a Movie Night
Prepare fresh buttery popcorn, arrange a lineup of your dad’s favourite films, and get ready for a Netflix night like no other! Watch your dad narrate his favourite memories about the films, including the first time he watched a particular film and other nostalgic moments. It's the perfect way to show him your love and appreciation while enjoying quality time together.
Make a Dad-inspired Cocktail
₹2500
Shake things up and turn into a mixologist this Father’s Day for a tribute to your dad like no other! First thing to check off is acquiring your dad’s spirit of choice and looking for some inspiration online. Try fixing on your dad’s favourite cocktail (if he has any) or putting a spin on a classic one with the spirit he likes. Grab your shaker and get your (cocktail) game face on! Tell him you named the cocktail after him in his honour and watch him turn into a split.
Organise a Concert at Home
₹2650
Dads are the best company to sing, dance, and jam with (it's all that uninhibited confidence!) And if there aren’t any live performances happening around that time, you can improvise by hosting a karaoke night at home. Grab a mic and sing your heart out with your dad!
