How To Spoil Dad This Fathers Day

August 23, 2018 by Maggi Barnard

Not sure what to do for dad on Father’s Day but want to do something special?

Here are a few ways to spoil dad and make it a Father’s Day he will remember.

• Make him breakfast in bed: Everyone waits for the day they wake up with breakfast served for them in bed. Make dad’s wishes come true… let him sleep in, serve him breakfast in bed and let him relax.

• Go out as a family: Dads enjoy a timeout but most will agree that they much rather spend the day with their family.

Allow dad to pick where he wants to go and make it a family day out.

• Allow him to unwind: Dads also have a lot going on, so it’s only fair to give dad a break and give him a day off. For some, that may mean throwing a football with the kids or playing basketball. For others it may be fishing or reading a book.

Whatever he wants to do, just make sure he gets uninterrupted time to do it.

• Get something special for him: If you want to give your dad something really personal this Father’s Day, then why not visit News On Rankin located at 70 Rankin Street. They have a great selection of gift ideas and you’ll be sure to find the perfect way to show him just how much you love him.

Or give dad the ultimate gift of tools and gadgets available from Power Tools Plus. They stock an extensive range of power tools, hand tools, industrial supplies and so much more! You are guaranteed to find something to make his day a memorable one. Phone them on 02 6852 3466.
