From spending time with Dad at a restaurant to giving gifts, you have many options to choose from if you want to celebrate.

Hong Kong is included in the festivities, which are meant to honor the father figure in your life. Whether you choose to spend time with Dad or live far away and must send a present, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday and honor your father’s role in your life. You have plenty of options at your fingertips.

The History of Father’s Day

The United States of America was the first country to officially celebrate Father’s Day. The holiday was established on July 19, 1910, by the governor of Washington state. It became a national holiday in the US in 1972 and spread to other countries. Additionally, Mother’s Day was the precursor for the day we now use to celebrate dads. In fact, it took quite a bit of effort for Father’s Day to be recognized.

In Hong Kong, Father’s Day is also fairly new. It has adopted the western celebration of the holiday, doing many of the same activities. As in China, Hong Kong does not take Father’s Day as a public holiday. It is merely celebrated at home by many who have taken to the tradition. Of course, this should not deter you from having fun with Dad on this special day.

Why Celebrate Father’s Day?

For those who have a special father figure in their life, celebrating this holiday is a great way to remind them of their importance. A good father plays a significant role in raising children to become happy, well-adjusted adults. Show your appreciation for your dad by giving gifts, taking him out for some time together or simply calling and telling him that you love him.

Gift Ideas for Dad

Giving the perfect gift for Dad is hard, especially for the man who already has everything. These tips will help you find that perfect gift that will sweep him off his feet in joy, no matter his interests.

You can never spend enough family time together, so lunch or dinner at Duddell’s Restaurant could be the best way to show Dad that you care. This restaurant is a cultural and social center that is sure to entice him. Entertain each other with fond memories of childhood as you enjoy delicious dim sum and a glass of wine, enjoying your surroundings as you do.

Does Dad like to drink wine? Gift Hampers HK offers plenty of delightful wine gifts. Whether Dad loves a glass of Dom Perignon Vintage, Penfolds Bin 128 or Pauillac, we have the perfect gift in store. Send a glass of wine alongside a gift hamper or simply pass along a bottle he can enjoy on its own.

If he’s more of a coffee lover, why not gift him an espresso maker so he can make delicious drinks at home? If you are on a tighter budget, a unique coffee cup could be right up his alley. Everytime he drinks from it, he will think of your appreciation.

Is your dad the athletic type? Perhaps spending the day on a sports outing or hike is a great choice. Perhaps Dad will enjoy a new portable barbecue grill you can bring to the park for a delicious picnic after a game. What about a surfing lesson you can take together? Not only will you enjoy learning something new, but you will also have memories for years to come.

And you can always get great deals for outdoor activities here.

Does your Dad have a knack for everything traditional? A pocket watch is a tasteful gift you can give to the man who has everything. Everytime he checks the time, he will think about you.

If he is a bit more handy, a pocketknife with different tools (including a screwdriver, small saw and can opener) could be a great gift. This is especially handy if he enjoys camping, hiking or just fixing things on the go.

Of course, you can always send along a handy gift hamper full of Dad’s favorite treats. Send a bottle of wine alongside some tasty treats, or send a picnic basket he can enjoy with Mum on the special day. Either way, he is sure to appreciate the thought.

No matter how you choose to celebrate Father’s Day this year, Dad is sure to have a blast. Whether it is the perfect gift or just spending some time together, you can do something to make the day special.
