Father's Day Gifts

Buy Father's Day gifts online in the UAE

Father's Day is celebrated in the UAE and in most countries around the world on the third Sunday of June. It is a day to thank the man who guides, protects and supports the family – with a family meal, time together and a gift that shows how much he means to you. Perfume is one of the most practical and personal Father's Day gifts: he will use it every day, and every spray is a reminder of the people who chose it for him.

This collection gathers Father's Day gifts from 11:11 – oud, woody, leather and fresh perfumes for dad, bakhoor for his majlis and ready-made men's bundles. 11:11 is a UAE perfume brand that sells online only. Every 50ml 11:11 eau de parfum is AED 75 (was AED 99), made with up to 30% perfume oil and designed to be long-lasting. Perfumes arrive in a white 11:11 gift tube and bakhoor in a black 11:11 cube box. Delivery is free across the UAE within 2 business days, and you can pay by cash on delivery, card, Tabby or Tamara, backed by our Golden Guarantee.

Father's Day traditions in the UAE

In the UAE, Father's Day is usually celebrated quietly at home or over a family lunch or dinner. Children prepare cards at school, grown-up sons and daughters visit with their own families, and colleagues may wish the fathers on their team a happy day. In Emirati and wider Arab culture, the father is the head of the family and is treated with great respect, so gifts tend to be dignified and useful rather than flashy. Perfume and bakhoor fit perfectly: they are part of a man's daily routine and of the hospitality he offers guests. Because Father's Day falls in June, at the start of the UAE summer, it is also a good moment to give a fresher scent that suits the hot months ahead.

Gift ideas for every kind of father

• The traditional father – a rich oud perfume and bakhoor for his majlis.
• The businessman – a polished woody or fresh scent for meetings and the office.
• The active dad – a fresh aquatic scent for the gym, golf, padel or weekend trips.

Perfumes to match dad's lifestyle

Think about where he spends his days. For the office and business meetings, choose from office perfumes – clean, polished scents that never overwhelm a room. For a father who trains or plays sport, look at gym and sport perfumes. For dinners, weddings and nights out, browse evening perfumes. Giving two scents – one for day and one for evening – is a thoughtful way to cover his whole week.

Bakhoor for dad's majlis

For many fathers in the UAE, the majlis is the heart of hospitality, where friends and relatives are welcomed with coffee, dates and fragrant smoke. Bakhoor is therefore a deeply appreciated gift that he will use every time guests arrive. Our bakhoor comes in a black 11:11 cube box, ready to give, and pairs perfectly with an oud perfume.

Father's Day gift sets and bundles

A bundle gives dad variety and feels generous. The 11:11 Men's Evening Bundle brings together four 50ml perfumes for nights out and special occasions. Browse more gift sets, or if you're unsure of his taste, a perfume discovery set lets him try several scents and pick his favourite.

How to choose a perfume for your father

Start with the scent he wears now. If it's oud or Arabian, choose another oud or a rich amber; if it's fresh, choose a citrus, aquatic or light woody scent; if he likes strong scents, try leather, tobacco or spice. Think about the season too – Father's Day comes at the start of summer, so a fresher scent will be worn straight away, while a rich oud may be saved for evenings and the cooler months. If several siblings are buying together, a bundle or perfume plus bakhoor makes a complete, impressive gift.

Father's Day gifts from children, partners and colleagues

The person giving the gift often shapes the choice. Grown-up sons and daughters may pool together for a bundle or a perfume with bakhoor, while young children love presenting a gift they helped pick. A wife might choose a refined evening scent for her husband, with a personal note from the whole family. Colleagues usually keep it simple and professional, with a clean woody or fresh scent that suits any taste. Whatever the relationship, a perfume in its white 11:11 gift tube feels complete and thoughtful.

Gifts for fathers-in-law and new fathers

A father-in-law deserves a gift that shows respect: a classic oud or sandalwood perfume, or bakhoor for his majlis, is always a dignified choice. For a new father celebrating his first Father's Day, choose something fresh and easy – a clean citrus or light woody scent that works through busy days and sleepless nights – and add a card from the baby for a sweet touch.

Making Father's Day special

Small gestures make the gift even more meaningful. Gather the family for breakfast or dinner, let the youngest children present the gift, and add a handwritten card. Light some bakhoor before he arrives home so the house welcomes him with fragrance. For an older father or grandfather, a visit with the whole family is often the best part of the day.

Remember that a gift doesn't need to be complicated. Many fathers simply appreciate knowing that their family thought carefully about something they will use every day, and a well-chosen perfume does exactly that.

Other family occasions

Fragrance makes a wonderful gift for every family moment. Look back to Mother's Day gifts for 21 March, and remember that June is also graduation season – our graduation gifts are perfect for sons and daughters finishing school or university.

Helping dad get the most from his perfume

A few tips will help him enjoy his new scent for longer. He should spray it onto clean, moisturised skin after showering – on the neck, chest and wrists – and avoid rubbing it in. In June heat, two sprays are usually enough for the day. Perfume lasts best when stored away from sunlight, so suggest he keeps it in a drawer or cupboard rather than in the car, where summer temperatures can change the scent.
