We often hear praise for moms’ sacrifices. But we forget how our dads’ struggles silently become our pillar of support. Father’s Day is your chance to acknowledge his presence in your life, cherish him, and celebrate him. Father’s Day falls on June 21 in the UAE.
And, you don’t have to break the bank for this day. All you need is a bit of thoughtfulness behind his gifts. And even if you have just a few days or hours to plan, these last-minute, affordable day gift ideas will save your day.
If you missed to celebrate the International Father’s day on June 15th, you can still celebrate UAE’s Father’s day and here are some last-minute affordable gift ideas that are worth going with:
Let’s accept it. We barely express our feelings to our fathers. And describing them in person might not be your cup of tea. But you can pour your heart on paper and let him know how much he means to you. And relax, you don’t need to be Shakespeare, just real.
And for a frame, pick a core memory that you cherished as a child with him. Or pick a picture he’s unaware of. Ask your family members for help here. You’ll surely see those nearest to him later.
Looks like sitting idle and being a father don’t go hand-in-hand. They’re always doing something and fixing everything. Pick a cue from that. He loves his plants? Get him a gardening kit with tools, some seeds, compost, etc. He loves fixing furniture or electronics? Buy him a toolkit with multiple attachments. You may also go with a drill machine. His kinda toys!
A father desires your time and consideration the most. Spare some time in the evening. Take him for a dinner date. It doesn’t have to be a fancy Michelin-star restaurant.
It can be a simple food truck he likes to visit. Or you can pick a place you used to visit as a child often, which you haven’t visited in a long time. Don’t forget to make him try something new along with his comfort dish.
It’s highly possible that your dad’s day starts with a cup of tea or coffee. Experiment with it a little. Many brands make flavored tea or coffee with fresh ingredients. Let him start the day with joy. Also, don’t forget to pair it with some healthy snacks to munch on. Add healthy biscuits, dates, dry fruits, muesli, makhana, etc. A complete morning kit of bliss!
Dads are usually so busy with their work and other duties, they forget to do things that give them joy. Take him out on an adventure he likes and have a good time together. Pick anything he likes, such as cycling, Desert Quad Biking, hiking, Flyboarding at JBR, walking, pottery, etc.
If he’s got an adventurous spirit, take him to indoor skydiving at Inflight Dubai at just AED 144 — way more affordable than traditional skydiving. Also, you can take him for an Abra ride for just AED 5! It’s the thrill he feels that matters!
Dads adjusting with whatever they have to serve you the best isn’t a rare sight. This Father’s Day, get him what he’s been avoiding buying for so long or something that’ll make his life easier. He’s on medications? Get him a medicine planner box so that he’ll never forget to take them. He’s working?
Gift him an insulated lunch box for hot meals and a stainless steel bottle for a healthy upgrade. You can also go with a customized wallet, watch, trimmer, fitness tracker, or medical tools he regularly needs.
Aren’t you living close to him? Nothing to worry about. Payit helps you get your love delivered to him! You can send him eGift vouchers that he can spend as he pleases!
For example, an Apple App Store & iTunes Gift Card. These vouchers start from AED 50 only. He can use this voucher to subscribe to his favorite apps or listen to music.
You can also send international eGift vouchers to your father. For example, if your father is Indian and you want to send him a Myntra India gift voucher, you can send him one for as low as AED 12 (~INR 250).
Similarly, if you want to give your father a PUBG (USA) mobile voucher, you can send it for as low as AED 3.5. At the same time, a Philippines Grab gift voucher can cost you as little as AED 7.5. And, an eSIM Europe voucher can cost you a minimum of AED 11.5. A steal deal undoubtedly.
Father’s Day doesn’t need months of planning or a high budget. It’s the love and thought you put behind a gift that matters. And a fat wallet isn’t always mandatory. Observe him. You’ll know what he’d love the most.
And if he’s away from you, Payit will do the work for you. Also, don’t forget to share your raw feelings. So, what do you want to give him this year? Time? A thank-you you’ve never spoken? Pick one. He deserves it.
Yes, Father’s Day is celebrated in the UAE on June 21 every year.
Most men want quality time, appreciation, and something useful or meaningful for Father’s Day.
You can surprise your dad by planning a thoughtful, personal experience or memory-based gift.
Show love to your dad by spending time with him, acknowledging his efforts, and expressing gratitude directly.
