We like to think that when it comes to giving gifts, what really matters is that it should come from the heart. And with Father\u2019s Day just around the corner, you shouldn\u2019t feel guilty or stressed if you\u2019re not able to splurge on a gift for the dad in your life.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t still plan an amazing Father\u2019s Day experience or gifts.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re on a tight budget and need some help, we\u2019ve got you covered with some budget-friendly ideas that you can use for all types of dads, whether they are the gamer types or wants a quick little getaway.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The foodie Father\u2019s Day on a budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your dad has a penchant for cooking (or eating or drinking), there are a ton of kitchen products that you can get as a gift without blowing your budget entirely.<\/p>\n

A set of stainless steel knives can be as affordable as RM60<\/a>, which makes it a great gift for the aspiring chef. For the dad that loves to grill, a barbeque tool set from Ikea<\/a> will only set you back RM49.<\/p>\n

But what if your dad is more of an enjoyer of good food? Well, if you have a credit card, you can take advantage of a ton of dining promotions\/discounts that banks offer. For example, HSBC often gives discounts<\/a> (up to 20%) for restaurants or RM1 promotions for coffee or tea.<\/p>\n

Best Dining Credit Card?<\/div>

<\/span>The outdoorsy Father\u2019s Day on a budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

For the more outdoorsy or adventurous dads, getting some time in nature would probably be best for them.<\/p>\n

And thankfully, even in urban cities like KL, there are a couple of places where you can bring your dad to get in touch with nature without blowing the bank!<\/p>\n

Places like KL Forest Eco Park<\/a> are located smack dab in the middle of the city that provide an amazing escape to nature. Plus, the entry fee is only just RM10 for adults, and if you\u2019re feeling adventurous, you can even plan a camping trip by renting a camp plot for only RM10 per day.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The techie Father\u2019s Day on a budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

Buying a gift for the tech-savvy dad can be a bit hard, especially if you\u2019re not up to date with the latest gadgets and gizmos. Odds are, if there\u2019s something they want as a gadget, they would have gotten it already.<\/p>\n

This is where thinking out of the box can work wonders. For example, if your dad is the type to misplace their keys all the time, get them a smart tag that they can use to keep track of any misplaced items. Smart tags such as Baseus T2 Smart Tracker<\/a> will only set you back around RM32.<\/p>\n

Or if you have a dad that seems to be piling up too many charging cables, help them make the transition to wireless charging with Ikea\u2019s wireless charger<\/a> which only costs RM29.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The gamer Father\u2019s Day on a budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

If tech dads are hard to buy gifts for, then the gamer dad might be even harder because unless you\u2019re a gamer yourself, you might not know what exactly to buy for them.<\/p>\n

Instead of blowing your budget on crazy expensive accessories or games, we recommend gifting your gamer dad with video game gift cards. The great thing about gift cards (Steam card, PSN card, Xbox card) is that they come in all forms of value so you can buy according to your budget.<\/p>\n

Plus, platforms such as PlayStation<\/a> or Steam<\/a> often run sales all year long so your dad can get games at huge discounts using those gift cards.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The staycation Father\u2019s Day on a budget<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes the best gift that you can give your dad on Father\u2019s Day is a moment away from everything so that they can recharge and just relax.<\/p>\n

So, for dads that want a little \u201cme<\/em>\u201d time, a great staycation will do just the trick.\u00a0Want to give your dad a cosy getaway amidst the backdrop of nature? Book a glamping trip to Janda Baik with prices ranging from RM250 and above for a room.<\/p>\n

If they prefer a staycation in the city, take advantage of offers from hotels such as KLo\u00e9 Hotel<\/a> which is offering a Father\u2019s Day promotion with the promo code “THANKSDAD”, which gives you a one-night stay with brunch for two people.<\/p>\n

<\/span>In the end, it\u2019s the thought that counts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Giving the best gifts for the dads in our lives is a great way to show how much we appreciate them, however, the best gifts don\u2019t have to be the most expensive. As long as it comes from the heart, that\u2019s all that matters.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re not able to give the most expensive gifts or an extravagant experience, in the end, it\u2019s the thought that counts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
