Father’s Day 2025

Growing up, I used to call my dad “mishti mukh” (sweet face). …And sweet he was, with a heart bigger than his Sunday lunch appetite and a laugh that could make the grumpiest day feel golden. He was my first superhero, long before I knew the names of any from Marvel or DC. He wasn’t just my hero because he was strong or wise — though he was both in quiet, everyday ways. It was his sense of humour, his infectious sense of fun, the way his face lit up with those four unforgettable dimples… It was his deep love for animals, his compassion, and the kind of kindness that didn’t need a reason. He made the world softer, lighter… better… just by being in it.

This Father’s Day 2025, I wanted to go beyond the usual clichés and do something that truly celebrates dads like mine. So, at TheGlitz, we’ve pulled together a gift list that goes beyond socks, mugs, and awkward ties… because let’s face it, our super dads deserve more.

So whether your dad is the dashing gent, the tech geek, the grill master, or the zen guru, our curated guide is packed with thoughtful, stylish, and maybe even a little bit unexpected finds.

…Because “thanks, Dad” doesn’t quite cut it, but a gift from this list might come close.

Scent of a Father

As Father’s Day draws near, House of Moksha share two standout fragrance recommendations — Aqua Terra and Leather Oud.

Aqua Terra is a crisp, nature-inspired scent that balances mint and lavender with oakmoss, cedar, and sandalwood, creating a refreshing yet grounded composition ideal for everyday sophistication.

Leather Oud is bold and luxurious — a rich blend of cardamom, leather, and jasmine sambac, anchored by patchouli, amber, and moss. Designed for statement moments, it embodies strength, elegance, and enduring presence.

Both fragrances are unisex, vegan, cruelty-free, and beautifully packaged — ideal for any Father’s Day gifting feature or editorial curation.

This Father’s Day, celebrate the dads (and the dad jokes) that make life a little more fun — with food that’s just as special. Mokai, Bandra’s Asian-inspired all-day café, is the perfect spot to treat him to something different, something delicious… maybe even something matcha!

Start the day with their Miso Eggs Benedict, topped with miso hollandaise and ginger scallions — a warm hug in food form. Pair it with the fun and fruity Mango Yakult Matcha Cold Foam, a drink that’s tangy, creamy, and packed with flavour — just like dad’s “famous” weekend cooking.

For something more filling, the Mango Nasi Goreng hits the spot with wok-fried rice tossed with sweet mango, chili, and crispy shallots. Got a sweet tooth? Don’t miss the Mango Cream Cake or their Triple Chocolate Mango Mousse — both perfect for sharing (or not). And if your dad’s a matcha fan, there’s a whole range of drinks — from Blueberry Matcha to the silky Iced Cloud Matcha Latte — that’ll match his mood.

Head over to Mokai this Father’s Day and treat your dad to something meaningful (and very tasty). After all, the way to his heart might just be through a Mango Sando.
