Show the special man in your life you care with these unique virtual holidays<\/em><\/p>\n

Father\u2019s Day on 21st<\/sup> June is just around the corner and every father deserves a special gift to show your love and gratitude. While celebrations might look a little different this year without the usual shopping and communal dining activities due to social distancing rules amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this really shouldn\u2019t dampen your spirit from gifting the dads, stepdads, grandads and dad figures the treat they deserve for being the pillar of support in your life.<\/p>\n

For many fathers, staying cooped up within the four walls at home has been extremely stifling. So why not take him \u201cout\u201d on a virtual holiday this Father\u2019s Day with these 5 travel-inspired gift ideas curated by the Expedia team?<\/p>\n

1. Indulge Him in Good Food From the World (and Your Heart)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. That\u2019s why the best way to delight and satisfy the big man in your life is through a jolly good meal! If you\u2019re up for the challenge, take dad right to the heart of downtown London without leaving home by whipping up a hearty English breakfast<\/a>. Pan fry some bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and toast and plate them in a heart-shaped formation to convey your heartfelt appreciation for him. Serve it up to dad with fruit juice or coffee on a bright Sunday morning, and this will be sure to satisfy the appetite of even the harshest of food critics.<\/p>\n

If cooking isn\u2019t quite your thing, consider supporting a local favourite by ordering take-out or delivery from one of the cafes that serve up good English breakfast, including Symmetry<\/a>, Kith Caf\u00e9<\/a> or Wild Honey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Take Him on a (Virtual) Tour to the Furthest Destination You Can Think Of<\/strong><\/p>\n

While making that physical trip overseas remains out of bounds for now, there\u2019s no stopping you from bringing daddy dearest along for a virtual trip to the furthest destination you can think of.<\/p>\n

Explore the wonders of Yellowstone National Park<\/a>, take an ice-cold hike to Patagonia<\/a> or fulfill his lifelong desire to explore the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu<\/a> \u2013 all in a single day! Simply create that perfect virtual tour by picking out the best ones from Expedia\u2019s Travel from Home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To complete the virtual tour experience, check out the specially-curated Spotify travel playlists by Expedia<\/a>. With the wide selection of music originating from Paris<\/a> to New York<\/a>, Hawaii<\/a>, Toronto<\/a> and even Chile<\/a>, you can make dad feel like he\u2019s walking down the streets of Paris<\/a>, New York<\/a> or anywhere else in the world!<\/p>\n

3. S<\/strong>peak His Love Language<\/strong> by Watching<\/strong> a Football Game with Him<\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter which football club your dad supports, nothing will mean more to him than celebrating a goal with you by his side. According to Expedia\u2019s Generational Fans Study<\/em>, 9 in 10 Singaporeans agree that travelling to football games with their children is quality time with them. In fact, half of Singaporeans say that the best thing about watching live football is creating memories with family.<\/p>\n

While travelling physically to Old Trafford, Anfield or the Emirates Stadium ain\u2019t possible at the moment, this doesn\u2019t stop you from bringing the overseas matchday atmosphere back to your old man at home. Buy dad a new kit, order some beer and fried chicken and catch a live football game on TV together as a family. With new memories made and photos for the record, this is as good as it gets minus the extravagant travel spending.<\/p>\n

4. Prolong His Vacation State of Mind with Memorabilia from His Favourite Destination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where\u2019s your dad\u2019s favourite destination? If you know the answer to that, you can prolong his Vacation State of Mind by surprising him with memorabilia from his favourite overseas destination.<\/p>\n

Even without the physical act of travelling, the mindset and mood of positive effects of a holiday \u2013 what we call the Vacation State of Mind \u2013 can also be experienced at home. According to Expedia\u2019s 2019 Vacation Deprivation\u00ae Study<\/em>, 7 in 10 Singaporeans agree that surrounding themselves with pictures and mementos of their vacation can help prolong their holiday mood.<\/p>\n

Take this time at home to look through your camera roll to craft dad a travel scrapbook, or create a care pack with unique souvenirs from his favourite land. From Japanese snacks accompanied with a daruma doll, or tom yum flavoured chips paired with a pair of Thai boxer shorts, we are sure that dad will appreciate the surprise, and the thought!<\/p>\n

5. Fulfill His Post-Covid Travel Aspirations with a New Antibacterial Travel Pack<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your dad simply can\u2019t wait to book his next trip overseas, why not get him prepped in advance for travel with a new antibacterial travel pack?<\/p>\n

Keep him safe on his travels by replacing his travel suitcase with one that has antibacterial and deodorising properties. Surprise him with a Proteca luggage<\/a> and a travel packing cube<\/a> packed with health essentials, including reusable face masks, hand sanitisers, antibacterial wipes and a UV steriliser<\/a> for his phone \u2013 so he can jetset to his next overseas destination with less worries for the family!<\/p>\n
