Father's Day is just around the corner and we are sure, your preparations are on an all-time high. Every year, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and this year, it falls on June 19, 2022. It marks the bond between father and child, and most of us leave no stones unturned to make the day special. And as it falls on Sunday - we get the whole day to spend with our dads. We go out for meal dates, shopping, movies or just relax together at home while watching good movies and enjoying lavish meals. While each of us has our own unique plans, what remains common for all is a GIFT. Let's agree, we all arrange for some gifts to make the fathers feel extra special.
