Dad Deserves an All-Out Hobby Day at SM Supermalls This Father’s Day

Father's Day is coming up, and if you're still thinking about getting him another mug or a generic gift set, it's time to rethink that plan. Today's dads are collecting trading cards, building sneaker rotations, upgrading their home setups, and fully leaning into hobbies that bring them real joy. This Father's Day, the best thing you can do is support that energy. Here's how to make it truly gala at SM Supermalls.

 

For the Geek Dads

If your dad knows every Marvel release date, keeps a growing collection on his desk, or gets genuinely excited over a new card pack, SM has the stores to feed that passion.

Grab the latest comic books or the newest Grogu action figure that your dads will surely love only at Filbar’s.

Filbar's is the go-to for dads who love comics, anime figures, Funko Pops, and gaming merchandise. It's the kind of store where dads and kids naturally bond over shared fandoms, and where a quick visit easily turns into a full afternoon of browsing and discovering things together. 

From the Alpha PRO Black AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Pro Desktop Gaming PC from DataBlitz or the Legion Go S from Lenovo in SM Cyberzone, your dad will surely have a grand time choosing his Father’s Day gift at SM Cyberzone.

For gamer and tech dads, DataBlitz and SM Cyberzone are among the best electronic stores in SM, covering everything from gaming consoles and gadget accessories to smart home devices and audio gear. Whether dad is building out his dream setup or just keeping up with the latest releases, these are the mall stores worth clearing time for.

From Yu-Gi-Oh to Gundam, your trading cards-loving dad will find trading card heaven in Courtside—that’s for sure!

Trading card game dads will want to make a stop at Courtside for Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, and sports cards, whether he's a collector, a competitive player, or somewhere in between. 

If your dad’s been thinking about upgrading your car’s features, these Pioneer Pioneer AVH-Z5250BT head unit and 70mai Dash Cam Lite 2 would make the perfect Father’s Day gift.

And for car enthusiast dads, Blade Auto Center has accessories, detailing essentials, and automotive upgrades that turn a quick browse into a genuinely enjoyable afternoon out.

 

For the Active Dads

For dads who are always planning the next workout, outdoor trip, or family activity, SM has the gear and the spaces to keep up with that energy.

From tents, to every camping gear imaginable, to folding bikes, Decathlon is an active dad’s haven!

Decathlon covers more ground than most people expect. Beyond the mainstream picks, they carry camping gear including tents in different sizes for families ready to take the adventure outdoors, folding bikes for dads who want a more flexible and active way to get around, and punching bags for those who prefer training at home on their own schedule. 

Let your dad channel his inner Janik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz (or maybe Roger Federer?) in these Wilson finds.

Wilson has reliable equipment for dads into tennis, pickleball, basketball, or volleyball, covering both the casual player and the dad who takes his weekend games seriously. 

For a more experiential Father's Day, MOA Sky is a great call for a family hangout that goes beyond the usual. The Adidas Football Park there gives dads and kids a chance to actually play together, and they can even get customized football jerseys made on-site. 

If your Dad can still bend it like Beckham, these personalized football jerseys from the Adidas Football Park might just do the trick. 

It's the kind of activity that turns Father's Day into something genuinely unforgettable rather than just another Sunday. SM Game Park rounds things out nicely with arcade games and friendly competition the whole family can enjoy, making it one of the better family day ideas at SM for dads who like a bit of fun mixed into the day.

 

For the Chill Dads

Not every dad wants an action-packed weekend, and that's completely valid. Some dads recharge through music, a well-designed space, and quiet time spent doing something they actually love. That's a hobbymaxxing era too, just a more elevated one.

Let your dad unleash his inner Jimi Hendrix, Dave Grohl, or David Guetta with these musical instruments from SM Supermalls

For music-loving dads, RJ Guitar Center is worth a visit for its solid range of electric and acoustic guitars, from beginner picks to serious upgrades. Steely Drums is a great stop for percussion enthusiasts, while Lightfoot Audio carries mixers and audio gear for dads serious about sound quality, whether for home recording, DJing, or just a proper listening setup.

For the workaholic dads who still find time to be with the fam all the time, upgrading his WFH workspace with these IKEA finds sound like a good idea.

For dads who work from home or just appreciate a well-organized, comfortable space, IKEA has ergonomic chairs, desks, lighting, and storage solutions that make any room more enjoyable to spend time in. 

Gorpcore hunk, Classic Debonair, or Comfy Traveler? These shoes, from Salomon and JD Sports, have both form and function—just like our dads!

When it comes to footwear, SM has strong options worth visiting. At the Salomon store, the XT-6 GTX is a rugged yet versatile shoe with Gore-Tex waterproofing and a Contagrip outsole that handles trail runs and casual weekend wear equally well. Over at JD Sports, the Lacoste Carnaby is a clean, go-to sneaker for any occasion, while the On Running Cloudtilt in Glacier Ice delivers lightweight comfort with standout style.
