Father's Day is more than just another day on the calendar. It’s that one moment each year when you show the man who taught you to ride a bike, barbecue like a pro, or fix anything with duct tape just how much you appreciate him. And if you’re searching for some heartfelt or exciting ideas, you’ve landed in the right place.
Whether you're looking for practical presents, experiences you can share together, or simple Father's Day gift ideas that still pack a punch, this list brings you the best that Singapore has to offer.
Oh, and if you're planning a day out, don’t forget to look into some memorable Father's Day activities in Singapore, too—they make the perfect combo.
Let’s jump into 31 ideas he’ll actually want (and remember).
Go big this year with a full-blown surprise bash. Let The Carnival Fair handle the event planning, including fringe activities, live food stations, carnival game rentals, and all the event equipment needed to wow your guests. It’s more than a party; it’s a sensory experience showing Dad how much he’s loved.
If your dad enjoys winding down with a pint, get him a curated tasting set featuring some of Singapore’s best craft breweries. Include a mix of pale ales, stouts, and lagers, and maybe even a tasting guide or virtual tour to elevate the experience.
Think heat-resistant gloves, a quality tong set, a grill thermometer, and a custom apron with “Grill Sergeant” printed across the chest. Pair it with a local brand marinade or rub, and he’ll be itching to fire up the grill this weekend.
A sleek, understated watch adds polish to any outfit and serves as a meaningful memento. Choose one with interchangeable straps or an automatic movement for a touch of luxury. It’s not just about telling the time, it’s about reminding him of the time he’s given to you.
Recreate Dad’s childhood with a retro arcade machine rental delivered right to your doorstep by The Carnival Fair. From Pac-Man and Street Fighter to basketball machines and racing games, this gift turns Father’s Day into a full-on nostalgic celebration for the whole family.
Give the gift of daily comfort. A powerful yet quiet massage gun helps relieve backaches, sore calves or tired arms, perfect for the dad who exercises regularly, has a physical job, or simply enjoys a good unwind at the end of the day.
For dads who love the outdoors, plan a half-day fishing trip to Pulau Ubin. Rent a small boat or fish from the jetty, pack some snacks, and enjoy a quiet bonding session surrounded by nature. It's a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz and a chance to reconnect.
Swap his worn-out shaver for a sleek, ergonomic model with skin protection features and adjustable modes. Add shaving cream, aftershave balm and a travel pouch, simple Father's Day gift ideas like this show you notice the small details in his everyday life.
Bring some calm into his work-from-home setup or bedroom with a low-maintenance indoor plant. Bonsais, snake plants, or even hardy ZZ plants are perfect; they purify the air, reduce stress, and bring a sense of grounding to his space.
For the caffeine aficionado, create a hamper with locally roasted beans, a portable grinder, a French press or Aeropress, and a personalised mug. You could even include coffee syrups or a small snack pairing like biscotti or dark chocolate.
Instead of dining out, gift a hands-on experience, a private cooking class where he can learn how to make chilli crab, laksa or even a signature steak. Choose classes that allow for a couple or family booking so it becomes a shared experience, not just a solo treat.
A themed gift box that includes a cosy blanket, gourmet popcorn, soda or craft beer, and his favourite movie snacks. Add a QR code linking to a digital movie rental or include a physical Blu-ray disc of his favourite classic. Movie night, sorted.
For the dad who’s always misplacing his keys, phone or wallet, a sleek Bluetooth tracker like a Tile or Apple AirTag will help save time (and stress). They’re small, practical, and show him you care about the little annoyances in his day.
Whether he's a Beatles fan or more into Santana, a vintage-inspired turntable paired with a few records of his favourite era is both stylish and nostalgic. It’s also a lovely way to bring music back into his daily routine without screen distractions.
Perfect for dads who enjoy spontaneous backyard sing-alongs or Sunday chill sessions. Get a water-resistant one so he can bring it to the beach or even the shower. Bonus points if it has a karaoke feature, fun for the whole family.
Elegant and meaningful, cufflinks are a subtle accessory that can carry a lot of sentiment. Choose a pair with his initials, birthstone, or a miniature symbol of something he loves, guitars, golf clubs or even family crest designs.
Elevate his evening wind-down with a custom-engraved whiskey glass and a bottle of his favourite spirit. You can even design a matching wooden box or tray to make this gift stand out. It’s one of the classiest Father’s Day gift ideas that feels indulgent without being over-the-top.
Freeze a moment in time with a professionally styled photo session. Choose a meaningful theme, sports jerseys, beachwear at East Coast Park, or even old-school retro, and let a photographer capture candid memories. It’s one of those Father’s Day gift ideas that becomes more meaningful as years pass.
Whether Dad’s into tech, finance, photography or fishing, there’s a magazine or digital subscription made just for him. Opt for print editions if he enjoys flipping through pages or digital ones if he’s always on his phone. Even Spotify Premium or Audible counts, especially if he enjoys music or audiobooks during his commute.
A plush, hotel-style bathrobe with matching memory foam slippers brings daily comfort into his home. Choose breathable cotton or bamboo fabric in his favourite colour, and include a note inviting him to “Take it slow today, you’ve earned it.”
If he’s always strumming air guitar or singing off-key with gusto, it might be time to make it official. Book a package of lessons for guitar, piano, or even ukulele with a local instructor, or online if he prefers learning at his own pace.
Treat him to a few rounds at an indoor golf simulator, where he can play on world-famous courses in air-conditioned comfort. Great for seasoned players or total newbies, and there’s no need to worry about the weather.
Escape the daily routine with a night or two at a boutique hotel or luxury resort right here in Singapore. Think rooftop pools, buffet breakfasts, and time to relax with the people he loves. Pair this with one of the many Father’s Day activities in Singapore like brunch or a heritage trail.
Put together a charming picnic kit complete with a woven basket, reusable utensils, wine glasses, and a comfy mat. Fill it with his favourite snacks, a bottle of wine or cold brew, and head out to Gardens by the Bay or Labrador Park for an easy-going outdoor meal together.
Perfect for dads with an adventurous streak. Book an outing to Forest Adventure or Mega Adventure at Sentosa, where he can climb, zip, and swing through nature. It’s an adrenaline-filled bonding experience that’ll be remembered for years.
Commission a hand-drawn or digital portrait of your family, including pets if you have any. Frame it as a centrepiece for his office or home — it’s a heartfelt gesture that goes beyond photos and shows effort and creativity.
Support local businesses and surprise Dad with a curated gift box featuring artisanal snacks, grooming products, coffee blends, or quirky accessories. Many platforms in Singapore now offer customisable boxes so you can tailor them to their hobbies or preferences.
Bring back the magic of instant photos with a retro-style Polaroid camera. Perfect for capturing everyday moments or travel snaps, this is one of those simple Father's Day gift ideas that adds fun to any day.
Book a pottery workshop where he can get his hands dirty creating bowls, mugs, or keepsakes. Great for a creative escape and something that doubles as both an experience and a tangible memory. Go together for a wholesome family outing.
Create a mini carnival at home or a venue with The Carnival Fair's help. From ring toss and high striker to claw machines, these game booths bring out everyone’s inner child, including dads. Perfect for a Father’s Day party, especially with kids around.
A classic staple that never goes out of style. Surprise Dad with a handcrafted leather wallet embossed with his initials or a short message inside, something like “Love Always” or “Thanks Dad”, can turn a regular accessory into a treasured keepsake. Choose a style with RFID protection for that extra modern touch.
No matter what kind of dad you’re celebrating, the entertainer, the handyman, the foodie or the quiet thinker, there’s something on this list that’ll make him feel seen and valued. Take this Father’s Day to the next level with a thoughtful gift, fun-filled experiences, and maybe even a surprise carnival-inspired bash.
