Father’s Day: Honoring Fatherhood and Paternal Bonds

What to Whom? Ideal Gifts for Different Types of Dads

What makes your dad the best? Well, he’s your dad, and that all by itself is pretty special. The day celebrates father figures, among them biological fathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers. It is a time set aside to value a father’s role in one’s life and to reflect upon paternal bonding. Although the holiday honours all father figures, the day is known by its singular possessive, that is, Father's Day. There are no official ways to celebrate Father’s Day, but different families celebrate it in different ways. You probably know at least a few you’d like to recognise with a card and some heartfelt words on that special day. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives.

As a sign of a thank you gift to your father, you may give back to them every single day and every special event. If you are looking for Christmas gifts ideas that will surely be appreciated by your father. These are the gift ideas you've been looking for!

In recognition of the particular time, we wanted to do our part to help those in our lives recognise the great dads in their lives. Since Father’s Day is just around the corner giving unique gifts like Borat Mankini will make them extremely feel special. We pay tribute to the dads in our lives with a list of our favourite types of fathers, as well as ideal Father’s Day gifts for each of them.

 

The Workaholic

This dad is attached to his work phone; his face buried in emails. He won’t look up to say hello unless he detects a networking opportunity, almost job-related. He may not be the best expert to talk to about work/life balance, but he knows how to advance a career while still being a dad.

Regardless of what type of father you have, remember that he may seem remote but likely is more close to you than you realize. Fathers don’t always enjoy the glow of intimacy and admiration we give our mothers. They have the cultural image of a breadwinner, disciplinarian, authority figure. He may be the definition of “tough love,” but it is love.

We only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point, we turn and look forward together.

We, from LatestBuy, are here to greet a Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers and father figures who have continuously been there, taking on roles for their families and children. Thank you for being you!
