Time to pamper someone: Father's Day June 21, 2026
Father's day 2026 is coming, and this year we have another nice list to give your partner, your father, your bonus father or just that nice man in your life a little extra love. Because let's be honest: fathers are also sometimes a little forgotten (shame on us). Don't we all think they deserve an even bigger smack sometimes? Yes, they leave everything lying around and loading the dishwasher remains an issue, but we also just love them very much.
And yes, even the intended father, the not-quite-father or the one who has to miss his father deserves a warm moment. Unpacking is allowed, but not necessary (but is allowed). A good gesture or a special outing can do wonders. You can read everything about how to make him happy here. No thanks. As far as we are concerned, this is how you do Father's Day 2026:
At Hitch Hike, the restaurant at TRIBE Den Haag Centraal, every father receives a second drink on the house on the 21st with the order of a drink. A very good reason to enjoy an extensive lunch or dinner together. Let's be honest: ultimately, the best gifts are often the things that create the most beautiful memories together. And why not at Hitch Hike? Where you enjoy the West American atmosphere and the farm-to-table thought.
Definitely take your father (figure) to The Hague sometime: so many great places and things to do. Need tips? We've got them. Read here .
You make a reservation here.
The Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam has come up with a mega creative and, above all, very tasty Father's Day gift for you. A rolling, rolling, rolling workshop. Sushi, that is. In an hour and a half, you and your father will learn to build a hosomaki, uramaki, and temaki, which you will, of course, enjoy eating yourselves afterwards. And it doesn't stop there. You also get three motivating glasses of sake from the sake expert. Sake? Yes, you know the one. That (on social media) oh-so-popular one. traditional Japanse alcoholic drink. Made from fermented rice. Sounds crazy, is tasty (give it a try). So, one of the three locations of the Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam, on June 21 at 14 PM.

What do we give to the fathers? That question always seems just a little trickier than: what do we give to the mothers? In comes the Father's Box. A box specially developed for fathers (to be) that are often a bit forgotten. In these boxes you will find a mix of relaxation, preparation and quality timeA specially brewed dad beer, a father-themed book full of relatable stories, earplugs for sleepless nights, and items to create moments together, such as a Pathé gift card or a deck of cards with questions to truly connect. You can choose from various curated packages, such as the premium box, or put together a Father Box yourself that perfectly suits your dad. Top tip.
Still looking for a fun outing with the kids for Father's Day? Then Move Amsterdam is the place to be.

You walk a beautiful route past at least six lovely spots: from cozy wine bars to restaurants you might not normally step into. At each location, you are served a dish with a matching glass of wine. From Maastricht to Groningen: check here check if there are still tickets available and in which cities you can join (because sold out means sold out). Perfect for fathers who love Burgundian indulgence, without the fuss. Oh, and the Wijnspijs doesn't necessarily have to take place on June 21st, of course. It's also nice to give as a gift in advance.
Practical, beautiful and a gift that will last for years: a leather bag. The Amsterdam bag brand O My Bag also has a beautiful story. The bags are made in an ethical way with care and a fair price for the makers and a small footprint on the planet. There are leather weekend bags, work bags and bum bags (never again his stuff in your bag!). Also nice are the bags made of vegan apple peel leather.
Flip-flops with a built-in beer opener, yes really. This classic from REEF has been a cult favorite for years, and rightly so. Comfortable on your feet, handy at the bar (or at the campsite, boat or in the garden). So don't panic if you don't have an opener with you: just use your sole. Gimmick? Maybe. But also just brilliant. You have them in even more scents and colors, shop and view them here.

The shelf in the bathroom is no longer occupied by just 'our' beauty items. No, my boyfriend and father also know how to take better and better care of themselves. Cremepie here. Gel there.
