You may not be able to see your dad for Father’s Day under lockdown level 3, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be celebrated and spoiled all the same.
While a get together at home is not an option, here are some things you can do to show dad you care.
Drive-by party
Sure, you can’t go and visit dad and spend the day. But imagine the smile on his face as you and your siblings drive by to wish him a happy father’s day. You can also drop gifts off at a safe distance. Take inspiration from this drive by birthday party and plan something similar for your dad.
Father Love, a live stream show
A live stream Father’s Day featuring Emo, Loukmaan, and (Dad) Omar Adams aka Boeta Maan. It’s a show for dad and the whole family to enjoy from the comfort of your living room.
Tickets cost R150 and are available on Quicket.

Buy now, experience later
While a lot of attractions and experiences are closed right now, there are many that are open and selling vouchers that can be used as soon as they open.
The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa are offering unique gift experiences. Buy a voucher for a night away, craftbeer and canapes, or even dinner and a movie now and it can be redeemed once restrictions lift and the hotel reopens.
Whether he’s a cool dad, a classy dad, or a fun dad, Experience Days has something your father can enjoy after lockdown. Paddelboarding lessons, wine tastings, and supercar driving experiences are just some of the cool experiences they have on offer.

Cheers dad!
We’ve put together a list of places delivering alcohol during lockdown. Send your dad beer, spirits, or wine from one of these places.
Food, glorious food
During level 3 of lockdown restaurants are open for takeaway and delivery so you can order dad’s favourite meal and have it sent straight to his door, or you can drop it off.
Here’s a list of restaurants open during level 3.
Breakfast at home
If you live with dad, this is an easy one. Prepare his favourite breakfast and serve it to him in bed. Not good at cooking or not living with dad? No problem. Get a breakfast special from his favourite eatery delivered to his door.
Brunch feast
