Lucky are those who have their dads supporting them and guiding them in each phase of their lives. The mere thought of having someone who will be more than happy with your success and will handle the situation if anything goes wrong is definitely a blessing. Somebody has rightly said, “A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” If you are a grown-up and are looking for ways to surprise your dad, here are some suggestions that you could consider. We’re sure your dad would be extremely happy looking at the efforts you’ll put for him. 

  1. How about buying a wine gift basket and gifting it to your dad?

If your dad is a wine or champagne fan, a wine gift basket could be among the best gifting options for him. If you want to make this gift unique, get some gourmet delights added to your hamper. Make him try new wines by getting these classy gift hampers delivered to his doorstep.


  1. Mark your schedule and take some time out to play a Video Game or watch a movie with your dad!

Do you remember the time when you were a kid, and your dad used to get some new video games for you, or the Sundays when he played those games with you? Relive your childhood by planning an evening where you could play these games with him. This would be a wonderful weekend filled with fun and laughter.  


  1. A relaxing Trip in the lap of Nature


Does your dad love adventure? Is he fond of trekking? Whether yes or no, you could definitely plan a trip with him to a place where you guys could stay in nature and relax. Even a short weekend trip is perfect to spend quality time with your dad and give him a break from the daily schedule. 

 

  1. Organize a party for him and invite his friends over dinner

Another way to surprise your dad is by calling his friends home and organising a surprise dinner party for him. Parties like these definitely lighten up the mood and let you and everybody else enjoy it to the fullest. Play some music, arrange some delicious snacks, and get your dad’s favourite wine for him. This would be a wonderful get-together and refreshing treat for him.


  1. Night-out and Barbeque 



If you are unable to take your dad out for some reason, a night-out and Barbeque is an excellent idea you could plan to do even in your house garden. If there is enough space, you could also set up a tent and arrange a bonfire. Make sure to take with you a bottle of wine that goes well with the snacks that you’re planning to cook to let your dad have an amazing dinner. 

These are some ways that will help you spend quality time with your father, taking you back to the childhood days when your dad used to organize such surprises for you. Once you’ve grown, it becomes your responsibility to pamper your dad, similar to the way he has been doing it all these years. If you live away from him, make sure to visit him as soon as you can, or send him a gift telling him how much you miss him. Do not forget to have frequent conversations with him, asking him how he is and how life has been. Do share your experiences with him as well. We’re sure your dad would narrate his life experiences to you, and you would feel really happy listening to all these wonderful incidents. Here is a sweet poem you could write on paper and read or post to him to express your love and gratitude while you plan these surprises for him. 

Dad, I might not say it often,

But, thank you for being by my side

For the piggyback ride when I was a child,

Whether then or now, for always being my guide

For loving me, for pampering me 

And for letting my dreams come true,

Dad, today I want to express,

I Love you!
