Fathers Day Archives

June 14, 2023

Father’s Day is right around the corner and we’re all looking for something unique to gift the father-figures in our lives – just not another pair of socks please!

They may not say it loud, but dads do love a spot of pampering now and then, and looking dapper has always been high on the agenda. So, this year, why not give dad the often-undervalued gift of grooming? Be it skincare, bath and body, haircare, or even fragrance products, this Father’s Day The Body Shop has made the gift-hunt so much easier.

Let’s first talk haircare. It’s well-established that dandruff is more a concern for men than it is for women. Enter The Body Shop’s Ginger Anti-dandruff Shampoo. With proven effectiveness, this pleasantly scented shower must-have helps clear those pesky flakes and leaves itchy scalps feeling instantly soothed.

While we’re on the subject of bath, we can’t not talk about body care – more specifically for those hard-working hands and tired feet. Pick The Body Shop’s Hemp Hand Protector and Hemp Foot Protector – both of which restores moisture and protects ultra-dry skin – for great-smelling robust protection and relief.

Let him lather and slather with The Body Shop’s exclusively-for-men Guarana & Coffee skincare range. Whether it’s the pre-shave Energising Cleanser to knock out those impurities, or the post-shave Energising Moisturiser for long lasting hydration (or both!) – there’s no better way to take on the day ahead.

One can’t go wrong either with The Body Shop’s powerful selection of fragrances for men. Be it the anti-perspirant deodorants or the light and long-lasting eau de toilettes, choose from White Musk for Men for more floral accents, or White Musk Sport for fruity and citrus notes – to have pops feeling fresh and energised after a long day at the office or on the field.

As if great grooming products aren’t enough, The Body Shop allows you to take gifting to the next level with the Create Your Own Gift option! Just pick your favourite products (because you won’t be able to settle for just one, of course) and allow us to arrange it into a presentable basket or box – with all the trimmings.

Because dad definitely deserves to be treated, Father’s Day and every day after.

You can put together your personalised Father’s Day gifts at The Body Shop flagship store on Bagatale Road, Odel in Alexandra Place, the Kandy City Centre, and at the Colombo City Centre.

13^thJune 2023 – Colombo: Hameedia, Sri Lanka’s leading menswear brand synonymous with style and quality, is celebrating Father’s Day by offering 1,000 special gift packs to fathers from all walks of life.

Hameedia invites the general public to nominate fathers, with a brief description in any language as to why he is special, by sending all submissions via direct messages on Hameedia Facebook or Instagram or by emailing marketing@hameedia.com. After a grand draw, 1,000 deserving fathers will be rewarded with an exciting Hameedia gift pack that is sure to bring joy into their lives.

There is no doubt parents undergo great hardships to raise their children. They ensure that every aspect of their child is taken care of including health, education, food, clothing and more. As these children grow up, they pursue higher studies, obtain jobs, get married, build homes, buy vehicles and start their own families. During the process of achieving such life goals, often the parents are sidelined and sometimes even neglected to the point where they live the rest of their years struggling to come to terms with how poorly their children are treating them and often end up depressed and unhappy. Understandably, parents from underprivileged communities undergo even more hardships during their life journey. Through this timely initiative, Hameedia aims to create awareness of the immense contributions made by fathers in bringing up children and how there must be a consistent effort by the children to take better care of these individuals and appreciate them daily or as often as possible.

Hameedia’s Managing Director Fouzul Hameed stated, “Parents go through great pain and suffering to bring you up in life. Once a year celebrations such as ‘Mother’s Day’ and ‘Father’s Day’ are fine but what we must all remember is to celebrate them every day in our own little way. Even a small gesture of love, kindness and caring is enough to brighten up their lives and we must make it a habit to pay special attention and appreciate them regularly. Every religion teaches about the importance respecting elders and taking good care of parents especially when they’re old and feeble. Parents also have the responsibility of bringing up children in a way where they learn to respect elders and won’t abandon or neglect parents. Even if our modern, busy lifestyles leave us with little time, we must find a way to look after them well and give them all the resources to live happy, comfortable lives. That is why I firmly believe that ‘Every day should be Father’s Day’ and not merely celebrate them once a year.”

Established in 1949, Hameedia has grown to become leaders and trendsetters in the Sri Lankan retail fashion industry having always delivered expert custom tailoring and the best in men’s fashion. Hameedia is a multi-brand retail store that offers customers optimal satisfaction in terms of a world-class retail experience and high-quality products merged with global trends.
