Top Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

Father's Day Bags

It’s ok – don’t rack your brains. Father’s Day, as celebrated on the third Sunday of June, is indeed behind us. But we all agree that Dads, the adorable super heroes that they are, need to be celebrated everyday of the year, don’t we? So there we are! And the reason this post is up specifically on this day, 1st of July – well, it’s because it’s my Dad’s birthday!

I sometimes feel Dads hardly get their due. Though Nature has not endowed them with the capability to give birth, they love their children as much as the Mums, if not more. Each time the Bournvita ad comes up on TV claiming ‘ek maa hi achchi aadaton ki ehmiyat samajhti hai‘ (only a mother understands the importance of good habits), my husband fumes and I empathize with him. All this is not a realization that has dawned on the occasion of Father’s Day! 🙂 I also do not believe in marking one day in the entire year to appreciate all that they do and to give them gifts. At best, there may be some good deals to grab on this occasion. 😉 So ideas presented here are evergreen.

Now, I’ll go ahead and do what I love to do – guide you in the right direction about gifting options in the space of bags. They have been categorized according to the activity they could be used for. But of course there are no hard and fast rules!

1. Messenger Bags

The most classic gifting item when it comes to bags is the messenger, more so for men. The designs and styles have thankfully evolved. Here are some delectable choices to make your Dad’s everyday day a bit more convenient and stylish!

2. Tech Bags

There is so much technology all around us these days that every aspect about it has been catered to including how you carry them securely. There are bags for every gadget and every gadget-accessory that you could own. And if your Dad is any bit like mine, he would have a mini tech shop with him at all times and he would fuss about carrying each gadget with utmost care. So you are spoilt for choice here! From laptop bags to tablet sleeves to camera bags…go on…take your pick! Of these The Rad Project can customize your bags for you.

3. Leather-Bound Journals

I included this category here for the rich leather accessories I spotted and one another reason that is close to me. I have a fetish for diaries – all kinds – and I love hoarding on them! I have a box full of them that I use very sparingly and I totally detest sharing them! Any diary gifted to me or my husband goes straight into my kitty; no questions asked! It was thus natural that when I sighted these, I just had to grab them, even though it meant only virtually for featuring in this post. And when a diary is leather-bound it is akin to the creamiest icing on a cake! The one by Mudhouse is customizable. Check out TheLeatherBoutique.in, as TLB features Mudhouse products.

4. Wine Bottle Sleeves

For wine aficionados, they are some incredibly well-crafted wine sleeves with a vintage look. I am so completely in love with these that I have been thinking of alternate uses for them, as all men at my home at teetotalers. Again, The Leather Boutique is my top choice here.

5. Travel Bags

The growth of the travel industry has brought the world closer – there is hardly a destination that is out of reach; and there are great options to personalize the experience. These travel bags are next only to gifting an entire travel package. Travel in style, think convenience and stay organized with these travel must-haves.

Vidya Gupta

Mother to three lovely boys and wife of a banking professional, I am extremely passionate about a host of topics, bags being one of them. For the record, the others are - makeup, travel, photography, in no particular order. Here I share my perspective on the Indian as well as the international bag-scene. As a youngster I would spend most of my money on bags and carry one according to my outfit. It is this love that I express through this blog. Needless to say, any suggestions for improvement, even healthy criticisms, are highly encouraged. Hope you enjoy your stay here and find something useful to help you on your next bag purchase!
