Gift ideas for dad
The gifts that suit a father most are a perfume he wears every morning, a vase of flowers in his majlis where guests see it, or chocolate opened with the coffee. If you cannot tell which perfume he would like, Haddiyah lets you choose 2 to 8 gifts; he picks his favourite and names his home and his hour through a link, so it reaches him in Riyadh and Jeddah with no address needed. He will say 'I need nothing' and still be pleased by anything. These gifts for fathers follow the same order, with ideas for Eid, his birthday and a thank you with no occasion.
A perfume he wears every morning
The gift most often ordered for a father is a perfume from a house he knows: Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Armani, Hugo Boss, Terre d'Hermès. Choose an edition of the one you know he likes, and if you do not know, pick two or three and let him choose. All under perfumes.
A vase for the majlis
Flowers for a father mean a vase, not a bouquet: an arrangement in calm colours that sits in the majlis and is seen by everyone who visits. It arrives arranged with its water and needs a top-up every two days. See flower vases; the larger sizes suit a majlis best.
Chocolate and sweets with the coffee
The gift that is opened right away: a box of chocolate, baklava or petit fours he serves with coffee to his guests. It suits a father whose house is never without visitors, and suits Eid and Fridays. See chocolate and sweets; there are also flowers with chocolate if you want both.
For Eid
An Eid gift for a father arrives the day before Eid so it is ready for the visitors: chocolate and sweets for the majlis, or a perfume he wears on the morning of Eid. If you are travelling or in another city, it reaches him in Riyadh and Jeddah and he sets the time himself. See Eid gifts for fathers.
A thank you with no occasion
The best gift for a father is the one that arrives for no reason, with a card that says 'thank you for everything'. It does not need to be big: a small vase or a box of chocolate, and the card is the gift. See thank-you gifts for fathers.
Before you send
- If you live in another city, the gift reaches your father in Riyadh and Jeddah without asking him for an address. He gets a link and sets the place.
- Fathers do not like surprises that disrupt them. Choose the slot when he is home, and let him set the time himself.
- Pool with your brothers and sisters for one bigger gift, and write all your names on the card.
- If you do not know his taste in perfume, pick several and let him choose.
