After celebrating Mother´s Day on the 13th of May, we now have to start thinking about our Daddies and what to give them for Father´s Day on the 17th of June.  

Here are two ideas for Father's Day gifts dads are guaranteed to appreciate far more than the usual aftershave and slippers.

Adventure:

If your dad is the adventurous type, give him a gift he'll really love: some time outdoors doing his favourite things. Give a golfer dad a one day pass to an exclusive golf course, send an adrenaline junkie white river rafting or book a fishing excursion if he prefers a more peaceful setting. If your dad really needs some spoiling, why not arrange a full day of activities for him?

The Arabella Hotel & Spa just outside of Cape Town is the perfect spot to keep your dad busy from sunup to sundown. He could start the day off with a round of golf on the world class green, follow that up with some kayaking or horseback riding (or both), and end the day off with a walk in the Kogelberg Biosphere.

Grooming:

If your dad likes to take care of himself, why not book him a "male grooming" session at a salon? Many salons now offer packages designed specifically for men. The Life Day spa at African Pride Crystal Towers Hotel & Spa has a "Time for Him" package that includes a sports massage, a skin treatment and sometime relaxing in the spa's flotation pool.

After the treatment he lays by the pool on the hotel's deck, sipping on a cocktail and taking in the stunning views of Table Mountain.
