We Asked 5 Dads What They Would Put In a Father's Day Gift Guide And Here's What They Had To Say

Teacher, motivator, comedian and protector, a father plays all these roles in his children¡¯s lives. Even though we love them and their dad jokes, not all fathers are the same. Some are strict yet loving like Amitabh Bachchan in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', while others are goofy, ever-smiling personalities like Anupam Kher in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.

Every father works day in and day out in order to fulfil his family's dream, without treating themselves to new things. Isn¡¯t that what all dads do?

This is exactly why coming up with the perfect Father¡¯s Day gift ideas is extremely important and yet more difficult than it may seem. It is probably the only gift your dad will accept without lecturing about wasting money and that is a big deal! But, what is it that they really want for Father¡¯s Day? Worry no more, we asked five dads to give us a Father¡¯s Day gift guide and here¡¯s what made the cut:

1. Gifts For The Practical Dad:

One of the dads that we talked to made sure that we millennials understand that the perfect gift is the one that is practical. He is a firm believer in Father¡¯s Day gifts that can be used every day. And we found something that fits all of the boxes - a No-Bumps Shaving Kit!

It comes with a stylish travel bag, shaving cream, a six-blade razor, blade refills, shaving brush and an aftershave balm, making it the perfect combination for them to use at home or as a portable shaving kit while travelling.

2. The One Who Loves To Entertain:

Most of us have seen our fathers enjoy a drink or two at parties and at home. One of the dads that we spoke to said that he and his friends have bars at their homes, so the best Father¡¯s Day gift would be to have a great bar kit. So we found the most sophisticated one!

This stylish black quilted leather box bar kit would make any dad happy. It comes with a cocktail shaker, bar blade, peg measurer (30 & 60 ml), ice tong, hip flask, six whiskey glasses, multipurpose corkscrew, all placed inside a quilted faux leather box. What better way to say 'Happy Father¡¯s Day' to your #OGDrinkBuddy?

3. Gifts For The Sentimental Dad:

The best gifts are those that hold a sentimental value and we can all agree to that. While most of our fathers hardly show emotion, we know that deep down they are softies at heart who love thoughtful gifts.

The third dad we talked to said that he loves gifts that he can hold on to for a long period of time, which is why we picked a silk necktie. It is not just a tie, but an emotion and something that will last years and you just know that he¡¯ll treasure it. He can wear it to your college graduation, that big wedding of the season, his office party and even your wedding; making it the perfect Father¡¯s Day gift.

4. The Workaholic:

When I asked my dad what the best Father¡¯s Day gift would be for him, he initially said that the best gift would be to save my money but after a discussion (father-daughter argument!), he decided to go with anything that will make his work life easier.

With all of our dads working from home, the best and most practical gift would be a stylish and sturdy laptop table. This one is made out of wood, with adjustable height, is super comfortable and has space for his laptop, his chai and more.

5. Gifts For The Dad With A Hobby:

What do fathers love? Cricket, chai, politics and work, but there are a few dads out there who have additional hobbies. Yes, you read that right, HOBBIES! Only one dad out of the group said that he loves collecting memorabilia and vintage model cars, aeroplanes, ships etc. So, if your dad is one of them or you just want him to have something beautiful to keep in his home office, then you can¡¯t go wrong this U-9 Grand Prix Car Mechanical Model Set.

It is made from eco-friendly plywood, the U-9 has a spring-suspended fork and rubberized wheels ensuring smooth but rapid acceleration and a long driving range. Your dad can assemble it all by himself, making it the perfect project and a classy addition to his workspace. This definitely tops the unique Father's day gifts list.
