Free Movie Snacks, Big Bike Meetups: What To Do This Father's Day Weekend

With more than two years of celebrating special occassions at home due to the pandemic, you might be running out of ideas on how to make this year's dad's day a fun and unique one. 

For things like this that might have slipped your mind, as always, Smart Parenting has your back!

Whether you already have plans or none yet for Father's Day weekend, here are six things you can do to make this year's celebration memorable. 

1. Get dad a new phone (or charger)

If you have been secretly saving up to give your dad or hubby a new phone (or even just a charging cable or a pair of earphones), then this is the best time to buy it. 

Power Mac Center has a Father's Day sale from June 14 to June 19.

Spoiler alert, the latest iPhone 13 (512GB) is on sale with up to P12,000 off! Accessories are up to 95% off from brands like Bose, JBL, and more. 

Add Power Mac Center to your Father's Day weekend itinerary, or shop online!

2. Take dad on a movie date!

Relive your kilig moments by having a date (or fine, bring the kids) to Ayala Cinemas. 

Be one of the first to watch Disney & Pixar's Lightyear on its first and second screening on June 18 and June 19, and get a free movie snack bundle from Snackbar or Taters, and various discounts from merchant partners!

3. Bike out with the family

Did you know that there are car-free zones in Pasig City every Sunday? And it's not because it's Mayor Vico Sotto's birthday.

If you just want to chill out with husband and your kids, bring out your bikes and head on to Emerald Avenue, East Bank Road, or Lopez Jaena street in Pasig this Sunday. Read more here for the complete list of peoples' streets in the bike-friendly city.

4. Let dad add to cart, and check out his faves!

If you'll be #TeamBahay again this Father's Day because maybe you have babies and kids in the family, you might want to stay home and shop online via Ayala Mall's Zing! app.

5. Get dad a gift that he needs

In case you missed it, Smart Parenting rounded up a list of gift ideas that you can give your hubby (aside from sexy time) from local mom and dad businesses. 

If you are still looking for a gift that you'll be sure he'll use, think about his home improvement plans that he always forgets. Maybe repairing the sink that has been leaking but he's got no tools? Or cleaning up the storage room that has been locked for ages?

Then, pick out an item that will finally get him started! Head on to home improvement shops like Mr. DIY this weekend and grab him something that he needs, like a Hand Riveter, or a Steel Tool Box.

6. Let dad have his me-time

Your husband might need a break, and it could be the best gift you could give him. Dads in the Smart Parenting Village said that all they wanted for Father's Day is to have a complete sleep.
