A hundred-and-one ways to take charge this Father’s Day

It doesn’t make you any less of a man to purposely indulge in some “me-time” this Father’s Day. And me-time doesn’t necessarily mean spending it alone. If bringing the family with you makes your staycation complete, then go ahead and spend it with them.

Take charge this Father’s Day and get yourself something that you really want and truly deserve. Now is perhaps the best time to splurge on a few luxuries and treat yourself for all your dedication and hard work. If you don’t know where to start, here are a few ideas.

Book a staycation 

With everyone just studying and working from home, wouldn’t you like to just get away, even to a nearby town or city? Why not give yourself a staycation treat? It’s the perfect opportunity to leave the house and bring the whole family along with you to make it a fun, shared experience. 

Staycations are great because you can still stay safely indoors, but in a different environment. You can choose to pack light and keep the travel budget to a minimum. 

There are plenty of hotel rooms that you can book at discounted rates, and each one observes strict health and safety protocols. Check out https://www.agoda.com/rcbc for local hotel accommodations and home rentals, and enjoy up to an additional seven percent off when you use your RCBC Bankard. You can even convert your purchases to up to 36 months!

Have a steak or barbecue party at home 

Treat yourself to that Brazilian ribeye or that steak au poivre platter. Order ready-to-eat or ready-to-grill steaks. If you want to mix it up a bit, add in some salmon steaks and mixed seafood, too.  

If you haven’t been to your favorite samgyupsal spot in a while, why not order in and have it at home? It’s safer and cheaper. And you can order all the beef and pork slices, side dishes and dipping sauces that you want. 

Take advantage of special offers on that day, like RCBC’s Hexagon Club Father’s day treat where you get P300 off on GrabFood when you use your Hexagon Club Privilege Debit Card or RCBC Bankard Hexagon Club Credit Card for a minimum purchase of P600.

Off to parts unknown with the family

Take a road trip to nowhere 

When it comes to road trips, who says you always need to have a destination? Fill up the car, cue in your favorite playlist, and just drive without a specific destination in mind.

This is a great chance for some self-reflection as you draw inspiration from nature. 

A road trip is also a terrific way to build new memories with your family and enjoy the view, especially if all of you have been cooped up at home for so long. Re-energize, refresh and recharge. This is an anything goes kind of trip, so prepare to discover the unexpected and go where Waze or Google Maps takes you! 

A new bike will definitely be a worthwhile splurge and good health investment.  (bnbikes.com)

Buy a bike

A lot of people have discovered the joys and health benefits of biking over the past few months. A new bike will definitely be a worthwhile splurge and good health investment. 

There are many bikes in the market that offer value for your money and good overall performance. Whether you’re looking for one that’s trendy and ergonomic or one that’s perfect for smooth city roads or rough terrains, consider safety and longevity, too. 

Invest in fitness equipment 

Now more than ever, you’ll realize the importance of taking care of your body and having a healthy lifestyle. If you love your family, you should also take better care of yourself. You can kick off your health and wellness journey by buying your own exercise equipment. 

If you have the space for it in your garage or home gym, a treadmill can also be a good addition to your fitness arsenal. 

Enjoy music with some really cool audio devices

Just imagine how great that saxophone track will sound when you play it on that Bluetooth speaker you’ve been eyeing for a while now. Check out www.stork.ph for the latest gadgets and get up to 47 percent off on speakers when you use your RCBC Bankard using the promo code STORKRCBC.

Buy that cool collectible toy

There may be so many adult responsibilities now, but it doesn’t mean you should forget about the toys you loved or wished you had as a child. Now that you have more spending power, you can finally get that much-coveted Voltes V full action diecast, or that Tosho Daimos Soul of Chogokin action figure. Give yourself these timeless (and very valuable) toys, as you take a trip down memory lane.

Buy yourself new cooking tools  

If you’re a foodie dad who loves to cook and eat, then you deserve to get the best kitchen tools that will help you whip up the best-tasting dishes. From fine dining meals to Saturday barbecues, good tools can level up your cooking and make the whole cooking experience more fun. 

You don’t need to be Bobby Flay or Gordon Ramsay to buy yourself that fancy machine. You deserve that Marcato Atlas pasta maker to make your own tagliolini, lasagna and fettuccine. And, you may also need a set of luxury chef knives that’s more flashy than utilitarian.  

Reward yourself with a new car 

Perhaps the ultimate gift that you can give yourself this Father’s Day is a new ride. Whether it’s your first car purchase or a much-needed upgrade, a car is a fitting gift to a loving, dedicated and hardworking father like yourself. 

The benefits of owning a car certainly outweigh the drawbacks. Aside from the comfort and convenience, you can make new memories with your family when you go on trips together, or even when you shuttle them around on errands. 

If you know what car you want and how much it’s going to cost, you just need a car loan that will make the whole car-buying process quicker and easier. Whether you’re looking for comfort, style, and class, or practicality and dependability, you can easily own one with an RCBC Auto Loan. 

These are just some of the things you can get for yourself this Father’s Day. If you want to learn more about RCBC’s products and services, you may visit www.rcbc.com
