Father’s Day Gift Ideas for 7 Types of Dad Without Leaving Alabang
Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday — June 21, 2020.
Metro Manila is on General Community Quarantine as of writing this article. While not all the stores in the mall are open, that shouldn’t stop us from celebrating the important man in our lives! The almost three-month Enhanced Community Quarantine gave the opportunity for a lot of us to explore delivery and pickup options within our neighborhood. In this article, we feature the businesses that can help us with Father’s Day here in Alabang.
Here are some Father’s Day gift ideas without leaving Alabang (or even your home for most).
Which type of Dad do you have?
- Early Riser Dad
- Jet-setter Dad (New York, Japan)
- Car Enthusiast
- Techie Dad
- Dad with a Sweet Tooth
- Sporty Dad
- Chill Afternoon Dad
1. Early riser Dad
Surprise Dad with a Power breakfast. Some of our suggestions:
Fry or Grill some Evergood Sausages and Gourmet Bacon
Evergood Smoked Bratwurst – P380 per pack
These Evergood Sausages are perfect for breakfast. They are imported from San Francisco, USA. Flavors include Cheddar Link, Smoked Bratwurst, Pineapple Sausage, Hot Links, and Garlic. But our favorite is the Pineapple Sausage because the sausage has real pineapple bits! (Available in AAV Mart, P380 per pack, 16 oz).
Applewood Smoked from Burgers’ Smokehouse – P580 per pack
No power breakfast is complete without bacon. Burgers’ Smokehouse Gourmet Bacon are thicker than the local bacon and yummy! Choose from Applewood Smoked Bacon or Peppered Country Bacon. (Available in AAV Mart, P580 per pack, 16oz).
Cook an Ultimate Filipino Power Breakfast using Spanish Chorizo and Crunchy Garlic
Prime-Rose Kitchen Crunchy Garlic – P180 per bottle
Top your rice with Prime Rose Kitchen Crunchy Garlic for yummy garlic rice paired with Authentic Spanish Chorizo!
All these breakfast items above are available from our friends in AAV Mart.
2. Jet-setter Dad
For the Dads who are raring to travel abroad but cannot yet because of travel restrictions, here are some ways to travel with cuisine:
Feel of New York
You can pre-order the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Meal Kit or the Coney Island Corn Dogs (frozen).
Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Meal Kit – P2,700 per kit
The Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Meal Kit contains 12 Hot Dogs, 12 buns, and 5 lbs Golden Crinkle Cut Fries. The Hot Dogs and Fries are frozen and ready to be prepared in your homes. Each kit comes with the preparation instructions for you to enjoy the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs in your home.
Nathan’s Famous Corn Dogs (Frozen) 15 pcs – P1,500
The Coney Island Corn Dog box has 15 corn dogs that can easily be prepped for to remind you of the streets of the city that never sleeps. You can prep some of the hotdogs during Father’s Day weekend or save more for other special occasions.
