5 Modern Dads To Know And Love

5 Modern Dads To Know And Love

Here are the 5 types of modern dads that we have come to love.

Dads come in all forms – some quirky, some strict, and some that never run out of dad jokes. 

Whether your dad is diagnosing the latest problem on your car, mastering the grill, or sneaking you extra pocket money – now it’s his turn to be celebrated. Batik Boutique designed unique batik clothing gifts for five types of dads for this Father’s Day we know he will appreciate. 

Batik Boutique’s men’s collection explores over  30 hand-dyed prints for every type of dad; each with his own personality that is unique, just like batik.

The Corporate Dad

He’s a Father and a CEO, and he means business. 

You’ll find the Corporate Dad nowadays on non-stop zoom meetings. Given his ‘always-on’ work ethos, this dad might still be in the process of adjusting to his new WFH situation. 

Keep dad looking professional at home (from the waist up at least!) with one of Batik Boutique’s classic batik shirts. Help get dad in the groove of WFH by completing his home office set up with an artisan-made, leather-bound KL collection journal or a hand-poured Bergamot, Cedarwood and Musk soy candle.

And don’t forget our men’s gift set with a batik necktie and pocket square, which you can now embroider complimentary for a limited time. 

The Hipster Dad

The Hipster Dad is all about style.   

He’s the dad with fun socks that loves his coffee and has the down-low on the best new Netflix series you should be watching. 

The Hipster Dad appreciates a gift that speaks to his unique style. For this dad, you can’t go wrong with one of Batik Boutique’s new batik Cuban shirts. There’s nothing quite like a hand-painted pastels print on lightweight cotton to take dad from lockdown to Langkawi, at least in his dreams.

The Outdoor Dad

The Outdoor Dad looks for every opportunity to be outdoors in the fresh air. 

If this dad isn’t out finishing his latest marathon, he’s out on the latest trail he found just around the corner. Sometimes, the Outdoor Dad  might even take you with him – as long as there is a nasi lemak or roti canai at the end.

Got a hiking addict on your hands that’s just itching to get outdoors? Bring the outdoors to him with our Forest Arabesque batik shirt  – a print inspired by the landscape of our tropical Malaysian rainforests.

Gift him an artisan-made bamboo tumbler with the KL skyline. And for a limited time, dads will also get five free dad-themed tea bags from local herbal infusion specialist, Rhymba Hills with different names of dad on each one (no code necessary). 

The Chef Dad

The Chef Dad has a special place in our hearts – and our stomachs. 

Whether he’s a fine-dining aficionado or BBQ pit-master, this dad has an appetite for a life full of flavour. You’ll often find him cooking up a storm in the kitchen or on the bbq.

If your dad is a regular Gordan Ramsay, Batik Boutique’s Olive Dinosaur Baking Set is the perfect gift for him this Father’s Day. Available in a matching kid’s set, all their baking sets come with a hand-printed batik apron, three assorted cookie cutters, one whisk and a sugar cookie recipe card. 

The Frontliner Dad

This dad is a true, modern-day hero.  

Over the last year, Frontline Fathers have been dealt a unique set of challenges as they balance the needs of their jobs and the safety of their families. When he’s not playing a part in braving the pandemic, this dad is at home spending quality time with his family.  

The perfect gift for the Frontliner Dad is a hand-printed batik necktie and pocket square that he can show off while he’s doing his rounds in the hospital. And you’ll definitely want to keep him protected and stylish in one of our KL collection reusable face masks – 3rd party tested in the EU and scoring the same level of filtration as an N95 mask.
