From my little experience with men in general, they are often difficult to shop for. I often find it cute when I’m able to crack them and get them to smile with a present or two.
My one-time roommate was Asian, and her dad was one strict yet gentle person I’ve ever met. After about three tries, we got a smile from him when we got him a gift *wink, I know I’m good at what I do, haha.
What event would you need this gift for? His birthday, Christmas, an Anniversary, Father’s day? No matter the occasion, here are the best gifts for Asian dads.
When getting gifts for people based on their nationalities or culture, other typical gift guides would contain gifts strongly related to the receiver’s culture, race, or tradition.
This is awesome; however, I believe not all gifts should be that. Having this in mind, I still have this gift guide that satisfies two subjects, “Asian” and “Dad,” and I trust he’ll love them.

These Are the Ideal Gifts for Asian Dads
1. Asian Snacks Box
I fancy giving gifts of edibles to people, especially those whose codes you’ve been unable to crack—a Box of chocolates, cookies, candies, and in this case, a box featuring different snacks.
This box is an even better gift if it’s the case that dad has been away from Asia for a while; it features a good number of snacks that may bring some nostalgic feeling.

As dad keeps getting older, some parts of his body fail him, or at least they aren’t as agile as they used to be, no matter how hard he tries to shove this aside.
Make his activities more bearable by grabbing this foot massager for dad. With this, he can keep his muscles a bit more up and go about his daily activities with a bit more grace.

A good gift for your dear old Asian dad would be these funny socks; when he changes into these socks, be rest assured that the lawn, the trash, and other heavy duties would have to take a chill pill cause dad is busy.

Dad indeed has a plethora of socks available, but I heavily doubt he has a box of sushi socks; for this year’s father’s day, celebrate dad by grabbing this Sushi socks box. It is funny but still serves the purposes all socks are sewn for.
Available Here5. Funny T-shirt
I couldn’t ignore grabbing this t-shirt for dad. He would fancy his bowl of rice pretty full; I believe he has earned the right to make this demand. Save dad the stress of voicing this demand by grabbing this t-shirt for him.

While dad won’t be using this candle to pray, he can alert everyone when he “sends forth a spirit” into the room.

Does he enjoy having a cup of tea periodically, then grabbing him a gift in that category would be ideal. A fantastic tea gift would be made
from the iconic Asian pear, the Salda green tea. The benefits of this tea are pretty much, which would further improve dad’s health and help with relaxation.
Available Here11. Wireless Charging Station
A charging station of this nature won’t only give dad enough room to charge all his gadgets from one place, thereby

A statue referencing the great Buddha is another excellent item to get almost all Asian men. This piece symbolizes goodwill and prosperity.
