Sunday, June 19,2022. Father’s Day, a day we all know and most celebrate. A day that we get to honor the fathers and father figures in our lives. What better way to show him that you care than by giving him something thoughtful and intentional. From a handmade card to a nice tie to workout gear to clothes, he’ll love it all. We want to make sure that Dad gets the goods so we created a list of 5 Gift Ideas that will cover all the bases.  

Getaway House

For the adventurous dad whose idea of a good time is to explore things outdoors, give a weekend camping trip a go. Spending time in nature, potentially catching and cooking your dinner, and having fireside chats allows for an amazing opportunity to bond and make lasting memories with your dad. If camping in the great outdoors is not yours (or his thing), give one of the popular Getaway houses a go, so long as you don’t mind a small space and sharing sleeping quarters. These houses provide the idea of camping but without any of the work.  

Father and Son basketball

Lots of dads are into sports, right? Of course! You can’t go wrong with engaging in some conversation around baseball, basketball, football, golf, or even hockey with pop. Instead of simply watching his favorite sport, take him to a game! No matter the seat location, he will love the thoughtfulness. Can’t make it to a game? Not a problem. Try taking him to a field, court or place where his favorite game can be played and play with him. Engaging in quality time is so important.  

Father's Day Gift Ideas

So many dads want to be the ‘cool dad’ and always stay up to date with everything going on with the ‘youngsters’, including their style. Well, if this is speaking to your dad, then we have something for you. Our Keyon African Print Button Up in Sky Blue Mudcloth paired with our Debare Men’s African Print Shorts also in Sky Blue Mudcloth will certainly have him fitting in yet standing out. If he wants to go with more of a solid look, we recommend pairing our Lubanzi Men’s Embroidered African Tunic in White and the Adil Men’s Traditional Dress Pants with Drawstring also in White. With either style, he will certainly be feeling himself.  

Father's Day gift ideas - art museum

The artsy and creative father would love to be immersed in all things eccentric. In most cities, there are art galleries and museums that are open on the weekends and offer brilliant selections of works. May we suggest planning your own personal art walk where a selection of galleries or museums are highlighted and you all go explore them. If planning isn’t your thing, opt for one major museum and go see the major exhibition they have on display at the moment. Not only will you get to soak in wonderful pieces but you’ll be able to engage in great dialogue with one another after.  
 

Cooking for Dad

And last but certainly not least, we have the dad who is the lover of all things food. We’re talking the ‘barbecuing every Sunday in the summer’ or the ‘heading to the finest restaurant in the city’ kind of dad. If you haven’t already considered this - make reservations at a restaurant that he has never been to which serves his favorite cuisine. If he is the type that prefers to cook himself, either plan a cookout in his honor or ask to make his favorite meal for him.   

Whether your father is into sports, adventure, food, style or art, or anything in between, this guide can help you navigate. Be sure to always have dad looking dapper in some of the finest African Print clothes available anywhere. Head to our site to explore more looks and styles to compliment any occasion. To make it even easier, we created a Father’s Day Gift Guide to help you find the best gifts for day. Happy Father’s Day to all!

There is much to be said about the connection that is had between a mother (or caregiver) and child. From the way a mother listens to the way she wipes away tears when either the heart or body are hurt. We want to celebrate the leading lady in our lives by showing appreciation with some mother’s day ideas.  

 
#1 Celebrate From A Distance

For the mothers that don’t live in the same place as you, virtual celebrations work just as well. May we suggest sending her favorite foods, flowers, or even products to her doorstep. For extra bonus points, send her something customized or products from a small Black owned business. We have an array of wonderful items that could suit the mother in your life well.  

 
#2 Create Memories Over A Meal

For the mothers that live in the same city or place as you, make reservations at a local restaurant that has great reviews. Spoiling her with a nice wine and dine experience will certainly put a smile on her face. Bring her favorite flowers, if she is into that, and a lovely keepsake that comes straight from your heart.  

 

#3 Help Her Plan A Solo Date

For moms who insist on having a day to themselves without any and all responsibility, send her to a theater for a lovely dance performance or play. More than likely, there will always be a production at the local playhouse and if she likes the performing arts, you will be winning at this mother’s day game. You can also opt to have a customized menu at her favorite restaurant or setting her up with her manicurist for a mani and pedi day.  

#4 Give The Gift Of Thoughtfulness

Now, mother’s day is not all about gifts and spoiling. It is about celebrating the humans that either gave us life and/or sustained our lives. A thoughtful way to do this can include a well put together picture book for the memories shared over the years. Or perhaps a letter that is heartfelt and includes ways in which you love her. Another really simple yet thoughtful way is to share dialogue via phone or in person around why you are grateful for her. The thing that she may want the most may not have a material value associated. Keep that in mind when deciding what to do for her.  

#5 Moms Can Celebrate Themselves Too!

If you are a mother yourself and are looking for ways to celebrate you, consider treating yourself to brunch or, if you want to go the extra mile (both literally and figuratively), book a solo trip for the weekend. Now this trip can be local like a staycation or skip over to the nearest cool town where you can indulge in the eats and arts. Deciding to spend the day solo doesn’t mean you don’t want to be around your loved ones but it can simply mean prioritizing your own self care and preservation.  

#6 Enjoying The Day While Not Focusing On The Holiday

Everyone may not be keen on celebrating this day so we wanted to make sure that those of us who opt out feel honored as well. On this day, give yourself the permission to do whatever you please. The holiday falls on a Sunday and Sundays typically mean bomb farmer’s markets, community, and chill vibes. Check out your local marketplaces and pick up the best produce, local handmade crafts from the artisans, and enjoy a nice glass of rosé. If that's not your thing, slide on over to see a film or pop by to view the latest art exhibitions at the local Black owned gallery. Sundays are made for relaxing and preparing for your week ahead and you get to experience it just in that way.  
 

Whether you decide to spend time with mom or loved mother figure or simply by yourself, there are plenty of options. Taking the time to be in celebration looks different for everyone and there is no wrong choice. May we encourage you to remember that this is another day of celebration to uplift the women in our lives… even if it is yourself. You, too, deserve it all.
