When is Fathers Day?
Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year. In 2025, it falls on June 15. In Sri Lanka and many other countries, it’s a day to honor fathers and celebrate their role in the family.
The idea of having Father's Day on a Sunday is to ensure that our dads are with us at home and we can wish them well in a well-mannered way. All their lives they have been there for us and worked hard, so this fathers day it's our duty to honor and cherish them.
What to Do for Dad This Father’s Day
Wondering when Father's Day is and how to make it memorable? Father's Day 2025 in Sri Lanka falls on Sunday, June 15. Here’s everything you need to know to plan the perfect day for Dad — from thoughtful gifts to heartfelt surprises.
Fathers are our warriors and first superheroes. They are the ones who teach us how to live and that we deserve nothing but the best. And surely they deserve everything in this world. From holding our hands as we learn how to walk to helping us get through our college applications, they have been there. Yeah, they may sometimes now say it, but they are immensely proud of us and love us just like they did when we first arrived in this world. These days, the internet is all about when Father's Day is, and while we are about to tell you the date, let’s explore the gifts you can give your dad.
List Down the Things He Likes
|
Start by making a list of things your father loves. It can be simple things like a walk in the park or an ice cream down the street, or if he is a coffee lover, a personalized printed mug is the perfect gift option. Making the list will help you in crafting the perfect day for Dad. And remember, you are going to spend the whole day with him. You can always ring your grandparents and ask him what he was like in his childhood and teen years. What did he like growing up? If there’s a thing he always loved as a teen but has had for a long time, maybe it’s time to get him that. Ask your mother his favorites and make a comprehensive list. Don’t shy away and think of every possible thing you can add. |

Write a Heartfelt Letter
 |
The next thing you are going to do is write a heartfelt letter for your dad. It can be hard for teens and even adults to express their feelings. Kids are great at that, but if you are a bit shy and not a big talker, writing the words is the best thing. Remember the times when he used to work day and night yet come home to play with you. You can get the printouts of the pictures the two of you have and paste them inside the letter. Make a small memory book alongside the letter to let him know that you love him. It can be hard telling our parents we love them every single day because society has made us believe that showing affection to family is weak, but this Father's Day you need to break every stereotype. |
Bake a Cake and Plan a Dinner
|
Baking might not be very easy, but everything is available on the internet. This means that all you need is to look at the internet and find easy recipes. There is nothing wrong with buying a cake at the bakery, but baking adds a bit more personal touch, and if your dad is allergic or diabetic, well, you can always order a pizza. Plan a family dinner where everyone will let him speak. Ask him about his favorite memories and let him tell you about his dreams. You can take him to his favorite place or, better yet, cook for him at home. And even better is to have him participate in the cooking. It’s always a fun time inside the kitchen with your loved ones by your side. |

Plan a Movie Day
 |
Make this day all about the two of you, or if you have more siblings, add them to the list as well. Go for a movie or watch one at home. Ask him his favorite and watch it with him. Just make him the center of attention for a day and see how his eyes will glisten with love. You can also make this part more exciting by having a movie marathon with your family. Everyone gets to pick one movie, and the rest will watch it with them. This way you really get to know everyone better. Father's Day can also be the time you connect back with your family and make lots of lasting memories. |
Build a Personalized Gift Basket
Now you need to come back to the list, but first you need a basket. The day is approaching fast, so you must hurry. All that you need to do is find a good gift basket at a store. Or maybe get one from Mugshot LK. Start buying the items that you have listed one by one. You can add a few more items to the list on your own.
Maybe get a scented candle for him to place at his desk. Or a notebook he can note important things inside. You can also add a glass tumbler inside the gift box. Add a few snacks that you think he’ll love. It’s all about pampering your father and showing him the love he deserves. You can also add fruits and granola bars in the basket.
Share New Experiences with Him
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do with your father? Maybe it is ice skating or playing any particular sport? Father’s Day is the day to start that hobby together. Explore the likes and dislikes and introduce him to what you like, what it’s like to live from your point of view. All these things can be very fun, and they will help you get closer to your father.
You can also have a conversation with him about your dreams, about how you see him as a parental figure, and about what things you admire about him. Encouragements are always positive and healthy for relationships. Have deep conversations with him and ask him about how you can improve your life if it needs any improvement. Share your life details with him to let him know he’s still part of your world.
End the Day with Gratitude and Love
Now that you know when Father's Day is in Sri Lanka, it’s time for you to plan a day he will never forget. Fathers day is all about cherishing the fathers and remembering all that they do for us every single day. This fathers day you need to tell your dad how much you love him, and not by words, but through actions as well.
