Often, we hear women expressing their frustration about not knowing what to buy for their partners. Questions like, “Would he want a black tie?” or “Does he need more shoes?” or even “Which perfume does he prefer?” can cause quite a dilemma.
However, this dilemma pales in comparison to the challenge of finding a gift for your dad on Father’s Day. And who says you need to gift him on that day? You have the rest of the week to dazzle him.
Another question is, how does one find a gift for someone who probably already has it all and has seen it all? But fret not, there are gifts that can truly stand out not just for what they are, but for how useful they could be or the brand they represent, exuding exclusivity or luxury.
Even though he already owns many pens, imagine giving your father a masterful Montblanc Meisterstück LeGrand Fountain Pen. It may seem extravagant, but giving an exclusive gift to the person who raised you or the father figure in your life is an act of love and a testament to how much you value them.
So, if you find yourself in this situation, unsure of what to give your extraordinary dad on Father’s Day, here are five specifically curated gifts you should consider — either for their functionality or purely for indulgence.
1. Exclusive Golf Club Membership
For a father who relishes leisure time and enjoys the gentle breeze while spending evenings with friends to unwind and discuss the state of affairs, an exceptional gift idea is a prestigious membership to an exclusive golf club.
This membership grants him access to world-class courses and top-notch facilities, along with the chance to connect with fellow golf enthusiasts and forge new friendships. You could consider renowned clubs such as Ikoyi Golf Club, Lagos Boat Club, Ikoyi Club, Lagos Polo Club, Kaduna Polo Club, and Golf Club.With this gift, your father can swing into relaxation and tee up some unforgettable memories. Who says important matters can’t be discussed over a birdie or two?
2. MTN Solar Powered Security Camera
MTN EyeSyte suite, a smart and safe WiFi/4G enabled device that provides 24/7 security for assets and homes with a cloud storage device is a functional and smart choice of gift for your dad. This advanced solar-powered security camera can detect any movement within its field of view by sending an alert when motion is detected.
While your father is out enjoying his golfing escapades, this state-of-the-art camera system will keep a watchful eye on his property, ensuring he swings with confidence both on the golf course and in the comfort of his own home.
What will it cost me? ₦152, 000.
Opting for a rather exquisite gift? Then you should consider one of the trio in The Macallan M Collection — The Macallan M Black. The collection itself captures the epitome of luxury and excellence, and, specifically, the M Black’s peaty character exemplifies the depth of refinement and richness, fit for the palate of a most discerning dad who appreciates the finer things in life.
Such a gift won’t only add a layer of sophistication to his liquor collection, but also serve as an illustration of excellence and craftsmanship that every father would want to associate with.
What will it cost me? ₦5.5 million per bottle.
4. A Year-Long Showmax Subscription
Whether your dad wants to relax after a long day, stay up to date with the latest shows, or explore classic films, a year-long Showmax subscription adds a touch of entertainment to his leisure time.
We get it, women would rather stay glued to “Wura” or “RHOLagos”; however, there are many options to choose from to get dad engaged including sports content such as the English Premier League, La Liga, UEFA Europa League and more.
Moreover, such a gift would also benefit other members of the house (notice how I didn’t say mothers), keeping them hooked to a world of captivating content right from the comfort of their home.
What will it cost me? Subscription for Showmax varies according to your preferred plan. To get all-inclusive content for a year, however, costs ₦75, 600. (₦6300 per month).
5. Patek Philippe Nautilus
A Patek Philippe Nautilus watch is a remarkable choice when selecting a luxurious gift for your dad. Renowned for its timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship, it is one of the most coveted luxury watches in the world.
What will it cost me? From ₦13 million upwards.
Father’s Day is more than just giving. It has to do with sharing good cheer, showing appreciation, emphasising bonds and reliving memories. So, while the ultimate gift is your love — and lots of it — the art of physical gifting can help convey those feelings properly and create a lingering memory in your father’s heart.
Happy Fathers ‘Week’ to all the great dads out there!
