I believe in the proverb that says, “Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad.” Fathers, Dads, Daddies, Papas, Tatays, we salute you! Our photos in your wallets may have replaced the cash (speaking of wallets, check your dad’s purse/money clip he may need a new one) and we are forever grateful for you!
Superman, the real SUPER man, deserves more than these treats but hey they’re not into shopping, right? Here’s a guide on what they really, really, really love (well, aside from the TV remote!)
‘Me’ Time
Don’t think that only moms need some ‘me’ time, dads need time alone too. Give them some space – allow them some “man cave” time. No demands, no responsibilities, no take-out-the-trash on that day! Word it nice and word it well, say in the card that Dad is allowed “Me Time” if not “Me Day” – it’s his day, right?
Sports Day
Please! Please wrap that remote and leave the TV all to himself for his special day. Make it a no-brainer and switch the channel to sports (you know how he loves his games).
Cheers!
You know the next one – drinks! Supply him with his favorite drink whether it’s beer, wine or soda. Prepare the bottle or bottles complete with his fave giant macho glass! Perfect with the sports channel.
Spahhh…
Book a day at the spa (away from mom, the kids… Everyone! Haha)… Thai massage? Balinese? Swedish? A much-needed facial treatment? Or, better give him gift certificates that allow him to choose.
Try: Facial Care for Men’s Shi-Zen D-tox is a detoxification system using the combination of anti-aging facial and a Shiatsu therapy.

It gives fast, real results with its power to:

Comfort Chow
You know where it matters to him – his stomach! Feed him his comfort food! For once, don’t control his appetite for his favorite steak, burgers, or chops. It’s one single day in all the 365.

To my dad, thank you for for being such a loving and supportive father! Thank you for teaching me how to cook. Thank you for exposing me to the arts at an early age and always supportive of my artistic endeavors. Thanks too for all your wisdom, I learned how to be a better parent because of you and mom. Most of all, thanks for always understanding me and never judging me. Happy Father’s Day! I miss you! Hope to see you soon!
To all the single parents and moms who take on the role of both parents, Happy Father’s Day to you too! I salute you! You guys deserve to be pampered on this special day!
