Cake and gift combos also emerged as a major growth driver this Father’s Day, growing 130% year-on-year across marketplace channels. The growth reflects rising demand for ready-to-celebrate gifting formats, where customers are looking for convenient combinations that bring together indulgence, emotion and ease of delivery.
Personalised lifestyle gifting also saw strong traction, as consumers moved towards gifts that felt more relevant to their fathers’ everyday lives. Products such as personalised LEDs, mugs, keepsakes and décor-led gifts gained consumer interest, reflecting a preference for gifts that are not only emotional, but also memorable and usable beyond the occasion.
Last-minute gifting continued to define Father’s Day shopping behaviour. FNP recorded its peak gifting demand on 20 June, with close to 18,000 orders placed in a single day. The sharpest hourly surge came between 11 PM and 12 AM, when over 3,000 orders were placed within one hour, underlining the growing role of urgent, high-intent and instant gifting during key occasions.
Metro markets continued to drive strong demand, with Delhi leading Father’s Day orders, followed by Bengaluru and Mumbai. At the same time, emerging cities also showed strong traction, indicating that Father’s Day is becoming a more widely celebrated gifting occasion across both metro and non-metro markets.
Overall, Father’s Day 2026 reinforced FNP’s role as a preferred destination for occasion-led gifting.
