Although American President Richard Nixon declared Father's Day an official holiday only in 1972, it was already celebrated in several places in the early 1900s. To this day, its popularity has not reached that of Mother's Day, but every year more and more dads are celebrated in European countries. The date varies from country to country, in Hungary fathers are greeted on June 16, for example. But let's see what basic types of fathers there are and what Father's Day gifts suit them best.
The classic father
Classic dads in mustard leotards watching the game on the couch and drinking cans of beer. At least there is such a stereotype about them, but it is not entirely true. Classic dads are much more characterized by care and try to keep everything under control, supervise things.
They love cars and gardening is not far from them either. They are often fishermen and have strong opinions about politics. They are also no strangers to humor, so a funny surprise can be a great Father's Day gift idea for them. For example, a pocket pillow with a beer and remote control holder can always come in handy if our dad still wants to look like Al Bundy sometimes.
The adventurer father
The adventurous father is a tough cookie, he is always on the road and sometimes behaves quite strangely. He is not fishing for carp in the neighboring lake, but for 200-kilogram catfish monsters on the Pó river. He loves to climb mountains, but he doesn't disdain water skiing either. He is not afraid of anything, in fact, danger is his very existence.
That's why the best gift for adventurous dads is an experience-based gift. Feel free to surprise him, for example, with a cool glider flight, to see if he sees the world from a different perspective from up high.
Fashionable dad
The fashionable father has only recently appeared, but their number is growing rapidly, so you have to reckon with them too. The fashionable dad follows the trends and is up-to-date in everything. He puts a lot of effort into his appearance, his shoes always match his tie, and he irons his shirts himself.
There will definitely be some cool surprise for them. For example, the Blue gift box can be a great Father's Day surprise. Underneath the stylish packaging, there are specialties such as Madagascar milk chocolate, peach pálinka with honey or the famous Belgian salted caramel chocolate.
Environmentalist father
Environmentalist dads have realized that they have only borrowed this wonderful planet from their grandchildren, so they will do everything for it. They don't litter, but they pick up the trash. Instead of a car, if possible, they go by bike and instead of mineral water, plain tap water is also perfect for them.
This wireless bike computer can be a great motivational tool for all dads. It also shows the current distance traveled, the total distance traveled and the speed. On the occasion of Father's Day, you can even try out the device right away on a joint family bike ride.
Artist father
Artist dads can be divided into two main groups, successful and misunderstood artists, the latter is a much more difficult case, but of course they can be loved too. Often, artist dads are funny, they don't pay attention to their dressing, and if they do, it's even worse. They like bright colors and poems. They often spend or paint themselves.
They want to understand the secret mysteries of the world with their children, and if that doesn't work, then they go for a walk. If there is a lake nearby, they also feed ducks. The Don Quixote bookend is almost certainly a first-class Father's Day gift for them, since they themselves are a little La Mancha at heart.
Manager dad
The manager father does not know rest, he is constantly on the move and always wants to achieve something. Success is essential for him, and he always questions his children about the school material and expects the maximum from them - no matter how much time he has.
The manager dad is usually elegant and likes to get the best of everything. Since he often signs important contracts, a stylish fountain pen can be a great surprise for him on Father's Day.
