Fathers’ day is in one short week so there is no more time to waste, if you have not gotten a gift yet, I have some easy and simple ideas that you can work on this week to put a smile on the faces of the daddies in your life. People are different, so regardless of your budget, it is very important that the gift is curated and personalized to the person’s liking.
Candy Gram
This is a fun idea for someone with a sweet tooth, you basically choose a few candy bars and incorporate them in a cute father’s day message. I did one a couple of years ago and my husband loved it. There are plenty of ideas on Pinterest, you can change up the message, get your candies and have fun. If your kids are old enough to keep a secret, it is a great activity to include them in, have them do it with you, and they can personally deliver it to their daddy.
Superhero Frames
This one is for the Marvel dads. It is so easy, even your two year old can probable make it. All you need is a shadow box frame and small superhero figurines. You can print fun messages like “you are stronger than the Hulk” and “You are smarter than Ironman” and you glue the figurine next to the appropriate message. Super cute, super easy to make.
Curated gift basket
This one can be whatever you want it to be. Go with the dad’s hobby or favorite snacks to give you an idea. You can put jerky, candy bars, liquor, grooming products. If the person is on a special diet, or has recently become vegan, there are plenty of stuff that you can add to the basket that will be so special. I don’t know how open your outside is right now, but if you can get to a store like Marshall’s, you can easily fill up a gift basket.
Cologne
I don’t know about you but the right scent on a man can literally turn your head. Father’s day season is the perfect time to buy colognes because stores like Macy’s always have the gift sets at a very good price. You can order to pick up if you do not feel comfortable browsing at your local department store, or if they can guarantee you fast shipping, you may still have time to place an order.
Tile Key Finder
These things are life savers! My husband loses his keys at least five times a day and at this point I’m over it. My house is a constant search party for his keys and wallet. Tiles have saved us so much time because all you have to do is ring it through the app on your phone and follow the noise. They even have a slim tile you can put in your wallet if you ever misplace it and some sticker tiles as well that you can stick on just about anything. Now you can put your feet up and sip on a refreshing beverage instead of spending your afternoon searching for keys and wallets.
My husband is a surf and turf kinda guy so I know whatever gifts he gets will never be complete without his favorite plates, so we plan to spend the day in each other’s company, the kids will have some sweet surprises for him and we will send him into a food coma. I hope you make this father’s day very special, and let the fathers in your life know that they are loved, they are needed and they appreciated.
