How to Prepare for Father’s Day: Celebrate Dad With Love and Intention
Father’s Day is more than just another date on the calendar—it’s a meaningful opportunity to honor the dads, father figures, and mentors who’ve shaped our lives. Whether you're planning a big celebration or keeping it intimate and cozy, a little preparation goes a long way in making Dad feel seen, valued, and loved.
At 4th Avenue Market, we believe Father’s Day is also a chance to support Black-owned brands while giving gifts that speak to Dad’s unique needs and personality. Here’s how to prepare for a Father’s Day he’ll never forget:
1. Start With a Thoughtful Gift
Dads deserve more than a last-minute tie. Start early by thinking about what he’ll actually use and enjoy. Is he into self-care? Loves keeping his hair fresh and styled? This year, swap generic gifts for quality products that speak to his lifestyle.
💡 Pro tip: Bundle a few favorites into a “Dad’s Self-Care Essentials” for a gift that feels extra thoughtful.
2. Celebrate Black Fatherhood
Father’s Day is also a time to uplift and celebrate Black fatherhood—its strength, compassion, humor, and legacy. Shopping Black-owned this season is more than a gesture—it’s a commitment to community, culture, and long-term impact.
By choosing to buy from Black-owned grooming and hair care brands through 4th Avenue Market, you’re putting your dollars into businesses that honor and uplift Black men every day—not just on holidays.
3. Create a Moment, Not Just a Gift
Whether you’re spending the day in person or from afar, think about how you can create a memory:
Cook his favorite meal or surprise him with breakfast in bed
Plan a day around him—fishing, hiking, or just relaxing with a good movie
Host a virtual toast with the family if you’re celebrating from different places
Give him a card with a handwritten note expressing why you appreciate him
It’s these simple, intentional acts that make Father’s Day truly unforgettable.
4. Make It About Wellness Too
Men’s self-care often gets overlooked, but Father’s Day is the perfect time to encourage a little rest and rejuvenation. Whether it’s a soothing hair treatment, refreshing shampoo, or hydrating beard oil, give him permission to indulge—and the products to match.

Supporting Black-owned beauty and grooming brands while showing love to the father figures in your life? That’s a win-win.
