Just when we thought we could celebrate Father’s Day out with the family, it looks like we’ll have to hold off those plans for now. Still, we can make do with our celebrations for the occasion from the comfort of our home. Whether you’re celebrating this Father’s Day with your dad at home, or even on Zoom while you’re miles apart from your loved ones, we’ve gathered a few gifts ideas that you can surprise and pamper your dad with, sorted according to what kind of dad he might be.
1. For the workaholic dad
Your dad has been spending hours cooped up at work, even while working from home, and the last thing you’d want to give him is something impractical. Fret not. Not only is this Thann Aroma Diffuser Greek Bottle a foolproof and practical option, but it also spruces up his workstation at the same time.
Choose from their Aromatic Wood, featuring a unique blend of orange, tangerine and nutmeg essential oils for an uplifting aroma, or their Oriental Essence option, a signature Thann scent that’s reminiscent of the exotic spas with Kaffir lime and lemongrass.
