With Father’s Day around the corner one can only wonder what to get these special yet sometimes hard to understand men in our lives, ‘our dads’.
A proud dad at the office believes spending quality time with his family is all that matters.
When you are going shopping for Pa, always keep in mind his personality - is he a sports fanatic, a politician, an artist or maybe a techie?
Don’t fall into the ‘I’ll just get him anything when I get to the mall’ category, think about what he’d really like.
Here are few Father's day gift ideas to make him feel special...
Body treatments
Who said men do not need some pampering too? After all the hours they put in fixing this and that in the house and long days at work, your dad would surely appreciate a bit of TLC.
Book him a session at a spa like Urban Glow day spa in Boksburg and choose three of their treatments from a classic manicure or pedicure, Swedish full body massage, spa facial or floatation pool for only R650.
Go to the movies
Put a big screen in front of him and you’ll have one happy man.
Make a list of all the latest movies he’d enjoy, that means strictly no 'chick flick movies'.
“If there is one thing I’d love for Father’s Day it is to watch The amazing Spider-Man 2: The Rise of Electro movie,” says a work colleague as we discuss the perfect gift for Father’s Day.

Now I know for sure that the little spider man inside of guys never dies, no matter how old they are.
Make it a family thing

Go out for lunch
Take your dad out for an elevated Wine & Dine experience ‘in the sky’ at Waterkloof Estate restaurant outside Somerset West perched high on the slopes of the Schapenberg. They will be serving up a four course lunch, while you enjoy views of the wine farm and False Bay in the distance.
The exclusive Waterkloof Father’s Day lunch costs R465 per person (which excludes beverages) and pre-bookings are essential.
Especially for him

Fathers are still boys at heart and we all know how they love their boys’ toys.
If your dad is into cars, why not get him the Autodrive mini car USB flash drive which includes cars like Lamborghini Murcielago, Porsche 911, Audi TT, Landrover and Volkswagen Beetle and bus, all built with 4GB of memory space.
For a father who is an ex politician, another colleague had bought her dad a signed copy of Tony Leon's new book, Opposite Mandela, and an imported dark chocolate slab from Italy to top off dad’s day.
With so many of us not privileged enough to spend this special day with our dads next to us, a phone call or a sweet message will remind dad how special he is.
Happy Father's Day Paps... - Lyndt Mavimbela
