Believe it or not, we’ve forayed into June. We may not be heading out just yet but at least we can celebrate Father’s Day (which is on 21 June, BTW) virtually or at home. Now, we all know dads aren’t always expecting gifts but we’re sure it’ll add a smile on his face nonetheless. From thoughtful gift ideas to massive feasts (takeaway style), here’s how you can spend Father’s Day with your old man.
Gift ideas
