7 Wellness Game Plans for Father’s Day
Father’s Day is more than giving mugs that say “World’s Best Dad. This year, gift him something that says, ““You deserve rest too.” What type of father is he? Is he the soft-spoken thinker or the typical Nigerian “I’m fine jare ” man? These game plans are your cheat code to showing him love and concern. Here are seven wellness-inspired game plans to help you flip the table this Father’s Day. Each one is a thoughtful experience to make your dad feel seen, appreciated, and deeply relaxed.
Game Plan 1
Create a mini aromatherapy retreat at home.
Set up a relaxing corner for Dad with a calming aromatherapy corner, complete with essential oils and a diffuser. Play his favourite old school music or meditation recitation on a low volume, a drink or tea he enjoys, and let him breathe. He may act like he doesn’t need it, but trust the process. He’ll love the calm.
Game Plan 2
Mix fresh air with real connection.
Take Dad out for a simple morning stroll, just the two of you. No noise, no pressure. Just walk, chat, laugh, and maybe share some homemade snacks and fresh juice afterwards. Round it off with a cool facial session and refresh using the Game Face Oil. It’s a smooth way to energize his skin and the perfect excuse to pamper him.
Game Plan 3
Give his mind (and hands) a proper break.
Wrap up a jar of Sensa Therapy Dough and hand it to Dad like it’s gold. Ask for just one hour, no TV, no phone, no responsibilities. Just you, him, the dough, and some calm music or birds chirping in the background. Revisit your childhood with him and recreate memories.
Game Plan 4
Let him feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
Get everyone to write down sweet, funny, or heartfelt things about Dad’s memories, lessons, or just “thank yous.” Drop them in a sleek jar or box. Add a calming tea or a scented candle and give him a full evening to soak in your love. Some tears might fall. It’s allowed.
Game Plan 5
Because self-care isn’t just for women.
Gift him the Game Face Oil and show him how to use it. It’s nothing too extra, just a simple two-step skincare ritual. It’s time to normalize Nigerian men doing skincare. Plus, it helps his face look fresh, feel smooth, and handle all the heat and hustle he has gone through.
Game Plan 6
Guided meditation and massage
Stream a short meditation. Let him close his eyes and pretend he’s not sleeping, then follow up with a massage. Add a soft towel and roll-on oil to level up the vibes. Your dad deserves this kind of softness. For once, let him join a WhatsApp group that shares self-care tips rather than false news.

Game Plan 7
Close the door. Give him peace.
Set up a stay-at-home retreat for Dad. Think: soft robe, his favourite book, a wellness playlist, healthy snacks, and a journal. Help him check out from “Dad duties” and just chill. Even if it’s only for 2 hours, it’s sacred.
This Father’s Day, say more than ‘Thank you.’ Say, “I see you. I care about your well-being.” Because beyond his strength and sacrifices, he’s still a human who deserves to rest, reflect, and feel good
