Father's Day is a special holiday when we are grateful to those who support, protect and inspire. In the conditions of war, this day is of particular importance, because thousands of Ukrainian dads defend their loved ones daily, protecting the country.
In Ukraine, the day of the father is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of June, as in most countries of the world. In 2025 it was June 15. The holiday was officially introduced in Ukraine in 2019.
The idea of honoring parents appeared in the United States in 1910. Its initiator was Sonor Smart Dodd, who, along with five brothers and sisters, grew up under the care of a single father. She suggested that he dedicate the day to her parents, and then this tradition spread the world.
Although the holiday has not yet become as widespread as the mother's day, anyone can be promoted. It is best to spend time with dad or at least call. For example, you can organize a joint walk, a trip to nature, a movie hike, a coffee shop or a favorite restaurant, or spend an evening at home with desktop games or watching a movie.
Dad's gift is a manifestation of attention. Choose something that will match his interests. These can be useful gadgets, such as smart watch, fitness bracelet, portable charger or wireless headphones. The home is suitable for electric roller, massager, grill kit or shoe cleaner or car.
If your dad has a favorite hobby, he can like a new fishing set, sports equipment or a good book. A good option would also be a personalized gift: photobook, engraving accessories or a set of coffee or tea.
For motorists can be useful organizer for the trunk, car charger, covers, rugs or vacuum cleaner for the salon. To maintain health - vitamins, fitness set, or a subscription into a massage salon.
