Treat Dad like royalty with our curated selection of experiences designed to make him feel like a king for the day.
With all the lavish treats for mums on Mother’s Day, let’s not forget about Pops on his own special celebration in June as well. Dads play an equally important role in our lives and deserve to be celebrated with equal fervour.
Often more reserved, fathers possess rich inner worlds waiting to be explored. If neglected hobbies such as fishing, woodworking or road-tripping have gathered dust, seize the opportunity to reignite their passions and make 16 June a day to remember.
He enjoys: Taking it slow on his off days
Take him to: A serene fishing excursion or a leisurely cruise along scenic waters
Bring Dad for a ‘reel’ good time at D’bestfishing, where diverse ponds cater to anglers of all levels. With various local and imported fish species like sea bass, pomfret and snapper in the mix, there’s something for everyone to catch. And if he gets hooked on the sport, consider gifting him some top-quality fishing gear from Lure Haven — Singapore’s only fishing retailer specialising in artificial lures, and the sole distributor of several premium Japanese fishing brands.
For a relaxing day on the water, set sail with White Sails to Lazarus Island aboard a luxury yacht, and complete the getaway with a stay at Tiny Away Escape accommodation. HomeTeamNS members enjoy generous discounts up to 20% OFF, making it an even more enticing option for the laid-back dad.
But if Dad prefers to chill at home, here’s a gift idea – get him an upgrade on his mattress.

And why not add some soft furnishings while he’s at it? Have him spend two to four hours creating a personalised rug at WeTuft using coloured threads and boundless creativity. With 10% OFF for HomeTeamNS members, the whole family can join him in the session.
