Want to show appreciation for the Dad who has been a spiritual stalwart of the household? Bless him with gifts from The Commandment Co, The Super Blessed or Blessed Be.

The Commandment Co, which “seeks to create personalised gifts that encompasses God’s truth and love”, is having a sale on some gifts for fathers. 

This includes ballpoint pens, leather coin pouches and keychains – all of which allow for customised engravings. 

It’s a great opportunity to personalise the gift with Dad’s name or a meaningful Bible verse.

The Super Blessed has a range of “Verse-It” velcro patches in various designs to bless your father with God’s Word.

Check out Blessed Be’s Instagram account for “thoughtfully designed and prayerfully crafted scriptural decor and handicrafts that portray God’s love”.

With Covid fatigue hitting households, these biblical encouragements could be just what your father needs.

2. For foodie dads

With Phase 3 (Heightened Alert) still in effect and dine-ins prohibited, F&B outlets could use the support. This is a chance to bless both the giver and the receiver.

Order in from your favourite eatery and share a good meal together. If you would like to support Christian-owned F&B businesses in Singapore (John 13:34-35), check out the directory 5 Loaves & 2 Fishes.

For that special occasion meal, hire a private chef to whip up a customised feast for the family. 

3. Handwritten appreciation

Encourage even young children to honour dads and grandads with simple, but heartfelt, appreciation.
