Fathers are a group of people, who unlike mothers, don’t usually get shown as much appreciation.
This Father’s Day, show your dad or spouse just how much you appreciate him with gifts such as the world’s best Korean red ginseng tonic, Star Wars cupcakes, personalised portraits and more.
Here’s the ultimate 2021 Father’s Day gift guide from S$15 to S$300 for those looking to splurge on the noble men in their lives.
1) Korean Red Ginseng Extract Tonic Gold from Cheong Kwan Jang (S$168)
Has your dad been complaining about tiredness, fatigue or a general lack of “good health” these days?
This Father’s Day, consider getting him some Korean Red Ginseng Extract Tonic Gold from Cheong Kwan Jang (CKJ), a Korean red ginseng brand that specialises in health supplements and tonics.
According to the brand, this mildly sweet tonic boasts a rich ginseng taste and is made from an enhanced herbal formula similar to the classic Chinese traditional remedy Shi Quan Da Bu Tang.
It also contains all the goodness of Korean red ginseng extract, lion’s mane mushroom extract powder and shiitake mushroom powder, combined into one extremely potent mix.
Packed in 30 convenient pouches, users are advised to take one pouch a day to strengthen their body constitution and improve general health.
Here are some additional benefits of Korean red ginseng:
- Boosts immunity
- Assists in recovery from fatigue
- Improves memory
- Boosts blood circulation
- Eases climacteric symptoms
- Provides powerful antioxidative effects
If you’re wondering whether Korean red ginseng is “heaty”, it is not. In fact, it is considered warm in nature in TCM.
New users are encouraged to start with a reduced dose during the first few weeks and slowly increase to the regular daily dosage to allow the body to adapt to the effects of Korean red ginseng.
Children aged between three to 15 years old are also recommended to consume half the regular dosage recommended for adults.

2) Wild American Ginseng slices from Wing Joo Loong (S$291)
Similarly, Wing Joo Loong (WJL) is a modern Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) company that specialises in natural health and wellness herbs and supplements.
Wild American ginseng is one of WJL's flagship products, trusted for its authenticity and superior quality.
In recent years, the increased demand for American ginseng has seen the introduction of China-grown American ginseng in the market.
Despite this being the trend, WJL only imports their ginseng from America and their family-run plantation in Canada, while sorting and grading takes place in-house in Singapore.
It is important to note that wild American ginseng grows in the natural, wild environment with no pesticide or fungicide and is manually excavated, making it very rare and valuable as compared to cultivated American ginseng (which explains its high price point).
As compared to its cultivated counterparts, the Chinese also believe that the slower growing wild roots, which are harvested at an older age, absorb more curative power from the forest floor.
Wild American Ginseng is generally suitable for everyone, and users may consume 3g serving daily to:
- Stimulate the immune system
- Boost energy
- Reduce body heatiness
- Improve mental function
- Calm the mind
It is especially suitable for dads who may tend to:
- Work overtime and sleep late
- Experience high stress, lethargy or lack of energy
- Consume high fat foods
- Smoke or consume excessive alcohol
