Celebrating Father's Day with WEMAX

Thoughtful Father's Day gifts are good, but more than anything else all dads out there appreciate some time with their kids. Because no matter what your age or accomplishments, for your dad, you will still be the kid who got through every milestone in life with some help and encouragement from him.

And WEMAX, with its exclusive range of products, is here to help you to make this Father's Day truly special. In fact, with WEMAX's top-of-the-line offerings that your dad can use almost every day, you can turn your Father's Day gift and the day itself into a cherished memory.

Fun Activities and Gift Ideas For Father's Day!

1. Host a movie night with Dad

Host a movie night with Dad on Fathers Day

When was the last time you went to the movies with your dad? Bet, it was a while ago. You know as kids, many of us had that one movie that we made our parents sit through over and over again, and they indulged us.

And the happy memories of that movie/movies linger with our parents and us. So, wouldn't it be great to relive the experience of that first flick or even the most memorable flicks you watched in the movie theater with your dad?

Unfortunately, watching those movies on the TV screen just doesn't cut it. After all, you can't very well bring the cinematic opulence of a movie theater to a 50-inch TV screen.

But, a home theater projector will do the trick! In fact, there is no better way to have some quality time with your dad on Father's Day than to host a movie night right at home.

Best gift idea: Polarized sunglasses or a folding beach chair for beach bumming

If you intend to spend the day at the beach, put together a beach-day gift basket for Dad with his favorite sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and of course a 6-12 pack of his favorite beer brand. An alternative would be a new folding beach chair with an umbrella no less.

7. Play games with the whole family

Play games with the whole family on Fathers Day

If you would rather spend this Father's Day indoors, a fun activity that can involve just your dad and you or the entire family would be an indoor game day.

Fish out all those old board games from the attic or think of new products that can be added to your parents' indoor game collection. To add to the excitement, include small prizes in the equation and you are bound to have a ball of a time.

Best gift idea: Family board games, card games, or gaming console

Family board games:From classics like Scrabble and Monopoly to new-age offerings like Azul, Root, Betrayal at the House, and others, you certainly won't have a dearth of options if this is your Father's Day gift of choice.

Card games:While you can't reinvent card games, you can always get commemorative decks as gifts.

8. Take Dad to a local bar

If your dad enjoys his scotch or Shiraz, you are bound to have a good time with him by celebrating Father's Day at his favorite watering hole. This one may not have memories from your childhood, but it is the perfect activity to create grown-up memories that will bring a smile to your face for years to come.

Best gift idea: Gift card for the local bar or a wine-tasting session. June is always a good month to visit the local vineyard or winery. So, you will have plenty of options including a few that involve a trip to Napa for wine tasting.

9. Craft a DIY home project

If your dad prides himself in his DIY skills and successes, start a new project with him this Father's Day. This way you can spend not just June 18th but also several Sundays thereon working together on your pet project. Plus, you will have something to show for all the hard work you put in; something that will serve as a reminder of the amazing days and hours spent with your father.

Best gift idea: Power tools

Depending on your dad's pet DIY projects, the best Father's Day gifts to go with this activity could be power tools, precision tools, craftsmen kits, work light and flashlight kits, and others.

10. Plan a spa day

If you thought only mommy needs a dose of pampering, think again! Actually, let's backtrack there for a minute. Surely many of you don't even know that spa gift cards are also available for Father's Day and above all that many dads would actually appreciate this as a Father's Day gift.

Think of it this way—what better way to show your appreciation for all the hard work that your father puts in or has put into being the best dad out there than to give him a few hours of total relaxation?
