10 Great Quarantine Gifts On Father’s Day

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, once said, “I cannot think of any need in children as strong as the need for a father’s protection.” This essentially sums up what a father represents to a child. While it is true that mothers are also very good at protecting their children, on most occasions when we feel frightened or threatened, it is to our father’s strong arms that we rush for safety and security first. Mothers comfort us and give us unconditional love, and fathers give us the strength and confidence to face our fears. This was the traditional paradigm. In modern times, however, these roles tend to overlap, and we have both strong mothers and affectionate fathers who have no reservations in hugging, kissing, and cuddling their children openly. In fact, the modern-day Dads want to play a more proactive role in raising their children. They are willing to feed the baby, change nappies, take the kids to the park, attend PTA meetings, rustle up a meal for them, drop them at school, music classes, and whatever else that had hitherto been the exclusive domain of mothers all over the world. 

Today the father-child bond has become stronger and deeper than before. Earlier, fathers were taken for granted, borne out by the fact that there are very little quotes on father’s love or fatherhood, whereas there are several that praise mothers. Mother’s Day, too, is celebrated with great fanfare compared to Father’s Day. But, as fathers become closer to their children and express their love for their children openly, without fearing that the world will perceive it as ‘weak’ or ‘effeminate’, children too have begun to appreciate and realize the father’s importance in their lives. 

This year, Fathers Day 2020 is on June 21, a Sunday. If your Dad is in quarantine, and you are not able to meet him in person and spend the day with him, send him a nice gift that will express your love and feelings for him. You can choose one from the list below. They would make ideal birthday gifts, too, for your Dad.  

Perform an Fire Lab for your father on this Fathers day!

1. Gourmet treats gift basket:

Your Dad would be delighted with this Gourmet treats gift basket. It is a set of beautifully assorted boxes, each of which contains different varieties of dry fruits and tasty nuts that will improve his immunity and help him fight illness. When you were a kid, your Dad helped you fight your battles, now help him stay strong and safe during the quarantine.

2. Men’s bath and body care set:

It’s not just women who are into personal grooming and body care nowadays. The use of body care products like bath essentials has gone up exponentially among men. A men’s bath and body care set features many personal care products that are also organic. Now that your father is in quarantine and can’t make frequent trips to the nearby store to stock up on such things, he will surely appreciate this gift for Father’s Day 2020 or his birthday.

3. Social distancing birthday mug:

How about an attractively designed ceramic tea/coffee mug as a great Father’s Day or birthday gift for your darling Dad? With a catchy slogan like ‘Best Dad in the World’ or ‘My Dad is my Superhero’? He would just love it! You could even get it customized with your own quirky slogan or a picture. Each time he sips coffee or tea from the mug, he will think of you and the fun times he had, raising you. It will help him get through the quarantine when he misses having his kids around him. 

4. Quarantined Dad jokes:

Quarantine is a time of isolation and loneliness. There is nothing like humor to get rid of quarantine blues. So get him a book of hilarious jokes by quarantined Dads that will bring the chuckles back into his life. Let this Father’s Day be one of mirth and merriment.  

5. Father’s day grilling apron:

If your Dad loves to Barbeque, gift him a cool grilling apron on Father’s Day. Preferably something with a funny slogan. A home barbeque might just be the thing to help him chill and take his mind off the depressing news.

6. Father and daughter sculpted figure:

Daughters share a close bond with their Dads because fathers adore and love to pamper their little princesses. So on this Father’s Day or his birthday, gift your Dad and knight in shining armor, a handcrafted father/daughter figure, which is really cute and adorable. Your Dad will love it 100%!

7. Household tool kit:

Is your Dad the kind of person who loves to potter around fixing and repairing broken things? Then a household tool kit is the perfect Father’s Day or birthday gift for him. Quarantine will be a breeze for him as he goes around fixing up things at home with this tool kit. He will feel productive, busy, and above all, happy!  

8. Gym equipment :

How about some gym equipment? In these days of quarantine and lockdown, your Dad may not be getting enough exercise. Exercise can boost immunity, so slacking off on it during quarantine may not be a sensible idea. Get some dumbbells or a cross trainer for your Dad so that he can do his work out at home. Or you can get an AB Wheel Roller Kit, which includes a wheeled roller, a push-up bar, and a rope for jumping. It is easy to set up too. This gift will definitely make him grin from ear to ear!

9. Beard and hair trimmer:

We have seen enough horror videos of men getting a trim at the hands of their wives, as salons are closed. Get your Dad a beard and hair trimmer so that he can look natty by grooming himself at home. He will feel really good about himself when he takes a look in the mirror.

10. Ayush/Mrithyunjay Fire Lab for Health and Long Life:

Father’s Day 2020 comes when the world is filled with fear and anxiety. What better way to boost your Dad’s confidence than send him some divine blessings for good health and longevity on Father’s Day or his birthday? AstroVed has some great Father’s Day offers, including 25% off on Grand Fire Labs. Perform an Ayush Fire Lab or Mrithyunjay Fire Lab for your Dad.
