Father’s Day in Kenya is on Sunday, June 15th, 2025 — and it’s the perfect time to honour the men who’ve guided, built, and supported us through life.
Whether he’s your dad, stepdad, uncle, or mentor, one thing is true for many of them: they’re hands-on, hardworking, and always fixing something. This year, skip the socks and ties — and gift him a tool he’ll actually use and remember you by.
Why Tools Make the Perfect Father’s Day Gift
A good tool isn’t just useful — it lasts. Every time he picks it up, he’ll remember who gave it to him. It’s thoughtful. Practical. And perfect for the kind of man who builds and repairs.
