Sunday, June 18, is father’s Day. This is the most appropriate time to give your father or father-figure a gift. Show him you appreciate his efforts in raising and schooling you.
Father’s Day is a rare opportunity for you to share hearty moments with your father-figure.
If you are looking around for a gift for daddy, drop in at the Timeshop on Garden City. Here, you can purchase a Seiko watch for your dad for sh45,000 and more. They can also imprint pictures and names of your dad on the item you buy.
Alternatively, you can buy him a Schaeffer pen from Aristoc Booklex at sh70,000, to give him an aura of class.
Business-like dads would appreciate new neckties. Sakina Boutique at Lugogo Game mall has elegant silken ties costing from sh10,000 to sh40,000. But if your father has many neckties and often receives them as gifts, then you may want to get him something different.
If you are loaded, how about surprising him with a new evening suit from Brovad Fashions. It costs over sh800,000, but the money is worth spending on the man who toiled to bring you up and see you through school.
If your dad has an affair with the bottle, then he will be happy to have any one of these items: a beer mug which you can get from Lugogo Game, a tool knife that has a bottle opener and a corkscrew inside. Better still, get him a bottle of red wine from Uganda Wines and Spirits for sh9,000 to sh25,000. At least that will keep him occupied all through his day, only that he will have forgotten all about your gift the next day.
Now, speaking of gifts that will be memorable even after Father’s Day, a hand-drawn and framed portrait of daddy is a good idea and so are the large copper artpieces that show wildlife. Such would definitely appeal to daddy’s masculine instincts. Copper wallhangings go for sh15,000 at the National Theatre’s Craft Village.
Do not buy daddy a perfume if you are not sure whether it is the brand he uses. Do not buy him undergarment if he is the kind who easily gets mortified. Do not buy him a keyholder if he is the kind who always moves around with a chauffer.
Bibles and hymnbooks are ideal gifts for a dad who devoutly goes to church every Sunday. But if he already has these, buy something to suit his lifestyle. If he is notorious for staying in bed till late, buy him an alarm clock from Kyakuwa Enterprises on Yamaha Centre. If daddy is old and often journeys from the village to pay you a visit, would he not appreciate a portmanteau?
