Father’s Day: Because Dad Jokes Deserve Biscuits Too
Father’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time to celebrate the everyday heroes who’ve taught us some of life’s most valuable lessons—like how to check the oil in your car, how to swing a hammer (or at least pretend you know how), and of course, how to deliver a truly terrible joke with an absolutely straight face.
At Raphia, we believe that every dad deserves something better than another generic pair of socks or a novelty mug this year. Don’t get us wrong—we love a good “#1 Dad” moment. But let’s be honest: what dads really want is something they can snack on after everyone’s gone to bed. Preferably something buttery. Something crunchy. Something they don’t have to share.
Yes, we’re talking about biscuits—sweet, golden, crumbly tokens of appreciation that say: “Thanks for the driving lessons, the weird jokes, and the way you always pretend you weren’t napping on the couch.”
Why Dads and Biscuits Are Basically the Same Thing
Let’s break it down:
- They crack under pressure (especially when someone else touches the remote).
- They’re a little rough around the edges, but they’ve got a soft center.
- They mysteriously disappear from the kitchen at midnight.
- They’re best served with something warm—a cup of tea, a strong coffee, or an unsolicited life lesson that starts with “When I was your age...”
Honestly, biscuits and dads are a match made in snack heaven.
How to Celebrate Father’s Day, Raphia Style
Want to show Dad he’s truly appreciated this year? Here are a few ways to make it special—with biscuits, of course.
1. Spoil His Sweet Tooth
Is your dad one of those “I don’t want anything” types? Perfect. Because that means he’s not expecting what’s coming: a beautifully wrapped box of artisanal biscuits made with love and designed for snacking excellence. Bonus points if you hide them where no one else will find them. Double bonus if you include a handwritten note (maybe something like “Thanks for everything, even when you refused to ask for directions”).
2. Bake Together
Roll up your sleeves, preheat the oven, and get your hands (and countertops) floury. Baking with Dad is chaotic, hilarious, and usually ends with him taking over halfway through and declaring himself the “head chef.” But hey, that’s the fun of it. And in the end, you’ll have a fresh batch of biscuits, and maybe a few stories worth retelling.
3. Pair It With His Favorite Brew
Tea, coffee, or something stronger—our biscuits are the perfect companion. Create a little Father’s Day ritual: set up a tea tray, pour his favorite drink, and let him enjoy a few quiet minutes to himself before someone calls to ask how to restart the internet router.
Bonus: The Dad Joke We Can’t Stop Groaning At
What do you call a biscuit that’s been to space? A cracker-naut.
We know. It’s awful. He’s going to love it. (And yes, he will repeat it to every single person he sees for the next week.)
More Biscuits, Fewer Neckties
This year, skip the clichés. Skip the “World’s Best Dad” keychain. Give your dad something that’s as comforting and classic as he is. Whether it’s a curated gift box of biscuits, a cozy afternoon tea together, or just a few quiet bites between family chaos—make it something he can enjoy.
Because at the end of the day, dads don’t really want flashy gifts. They want time with the people they love, a good snack in hand, and maybe just a little appreciation for everything they do (and all the things we pretend not to notice, like refilling the car tires or replacing the batteries in the remote).
Here’s to the dads, the dad-figures, the granddads, the stepdads, and the honorary dads. Thanks for showing up, day after day—even when we forget to say thank you.
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Raphia.
Now go give your dad a biscuit—and maybe let him tell just one more joke.
