You might think Father\u2019s Day<\/a> is a relatively new tradition. But while it\u2019s only been celebrated on the third Sunday of June since the early 20th century, some parts of Europe have been honoring fatherhood and the role of fathers in society since the Middle Ages! Back then though, in the days of William the Conqueror, Braveheart and Robin Hood, there were nowhere near as many Father\u2019s Day gift ideas<\/a><\/strong> around as there are today. Frankly you would be lucky if you got a card and a new candle to replace the one from last night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, you only need to search for Father\u2019s Day gifts online<\/a><\/strong> and you\u2019ll get 1000s of results – the choice is overwhelming and if you\u2019re in need of inspiration you\u2019ll definitely find plenty just by having a quick browse. But how do you ensure you get your Dad (or the father figure in your life) a really exciting Father\u2019s Day gift that he\u2019ll love? And why is that important, especially in 2024, hundreds of years since we first began making Father\u2019s Day a thing – is it still relevant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you should be shopping for Father\u2019s Day gifts online right now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people say it\u2019s ironic that it\u2019s only as we get older and need him less that we really start to appreciate our fathers and their role in shaping our lives when we\u2019re young. But that\u2019s only half-true. In fact we never stop needing our Dads, their wisdom, advice, leadership and hugs, but our relationships with them often change as time goes on. We\u2019re maybe not so dependent on them for the little things, but knowing they\u2019re there in the background is still incredibly important. That\u2019s why when June rolls around so many of us start thinking about how to find Father\u2019s Day gifts<\/a> that show him how much he means to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence of Covid-19, many families will sadly be celebrating Father\u2019s Day<\/a> in lockdown this year, and not all Dads will get to spend the day with their kids like they would normally. But while the circumstances might be far from ideal, think of it as an opportunity to find a really special Father\u2019s Day gift idea for 2025<\/a>, one that he\u2019s really going to love. After all, you may be socially distanced, but you can always close the gap emotionally with really great Father\u2019s Day gifts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are the best Father\u2019s Day gifts<\/a>, and how can you be sure you\u2019re getting him something he\u2019ll truly appreciate? You and your Dad might be like two peas in a pod, as the old saying goes, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that fathers tend to be notoriously difficult to shop for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our advice: if you need some solid-gold inspiration for Father\u2019s Day gifts, then always remember Useful<\/strong> and Unique<\/strong>. And for that, there\u2019s nothing better than experience gifts for fathers<\/a> from Tinggly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Father\u2019s Day gift experiences?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although more and more people are falling for the idea of giving experiences to celebrate special occasions rather than material items, not everyone is yet entirely sure what the big idea is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you give your Dad an experience as a Father\u2019s Day gift, he\u2019ll be taking part in an activity at an agreed time and place. So it\u2019s not something that\u2019s going to sit on his desk or a shelf, but certainly he can frame a few photos of his experience to help him remember it. They can then take pride of place in his Man Cave (come on Dad, it\u2019s just a shed, admit it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what kind of experiences can you, and your Dad, expect to find in one of these gift boxes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tinggly team<\/a> scours the globe to find the very finest gifts for him<\/a> from the adventurous, such as skydives and driving experiences<\/a>, to the relaxing, and the cultural. Each of these online gift boxes reveals 100s of activities around the world that your Dad can enjoy either alone, as part of a couple or a group. There is something for every personality, every interest, every holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are experiences that allow him to pursue interests that he already has – perhaps he\u2019s an avid snorkeler and would like to explore the Great Barrier Reef, or an enthusiastic amateur chef who\u2019d like to try his hand at a few different world cuisines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are experiences where he can tick something off his own private bucket list if he wants. Perhaps an epic skydive<\/a> over the desert, a hot air balloon flight over a city he\u2019s always wanted to visit, or a meeting with an inspirational figure from Buddhist monks in Tibet to American astronauts and even Japanese samurai. This a Father\u2019s Day gift to make him go Wow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose experience gifts for Father\u2019s Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons that Father\u2019s Day experiences<\/a><\/strong> have become so popular in recent years is that research shows experiential gifts can foster stronger relationships than material items<\/a>, because of the heightened emotions involved – basically if you want Father\u2019s Day gift ideas that are going to bring you closer to your Dad then an experience gift card is a good bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living his best life<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Need another reason? Here\u2019s a good one. Chances are that your Dad is on social media (it\u2019s also pretty likely that you find that deeply embarrassing at times). And when it comes to platforms like Facebook and Instagram, something people always love to share is life experiences – you\u2019re creating your own narrative<\/a>. So when you give your Dad a Father\u2019s Day gift experience, you\u2019re helping him show off a little to his friends, or at least ensure people who matter to him know he\u2019s living his best life. That\u2019s the ethos of Tinggly: Give stories, not stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No clutter<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Something else to consider: by the time they get to your Dad\u2019s age, most guys have got everything they really need or want already, and anything else risks becoming so much clutter. If you\u2019re not certain that you know exactly what material item is really going to hit the spot, then an experience may well be the most suitable gift for Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel gift ideas for Father\u2019s Day<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Experience gifts for fathers<\/a> can also fit really well with future travel plans. If your Dad loves to get away on holiday and is curious about seeing more of the world, then giving him an experience for Father\u2019s Day that he can use while he\u2019s away will likely be highly appreciated. Especially if it\u2019s something that allows him a deeper perspective on the place he\u2019s traveling to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 70% of people would rather receive an experience as a gift <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Father\u2019s Day experiences from Tinggly different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can search for Father\u2019s Day gift cards online<\/a>, or Father\u2019s Day experiences, and you\u2019re going to have plenty to choose from. But if you\u2019re looking for great Father\u2019s Day experience gifts<\/strong>, then Tinggly gift cards stand out from the crowd. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gift of choice<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With experience gift cards from Tinggly, the recipient chooses what they do, when and where, according to their own interests, passions and travel plans. Massively convenient for you, of course, but equally important is a phrase that many of us have become all too familiar with in 2024: social distance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What that means is, the further socially distant we are from somebody, the more likely we are to give them a material item. For those we\u2019re close to, we look more towards experiences as unique gift ideas. And because with Father\u2019s Day gift cards from Tinggly the choice of what to do is theirs alone, there\u2019s little risk of getting the wrong thing – greater satisfaction for both giver and receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No expiration dates<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect of Father\u2019s Day experiences from Tinggly is that there are no expiry dates for him to worry about. He can lose his gift card at the back of his Man Drawer<\/a> – yes it\u2019s true, all Dads have them – and retrieve it in a year\u2019s time and it will be just as useful to him. Also really helpful for when travel plans have to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
