It’s always quite easy to find great ideas for Mother’s Day, but for some reason Father’s Day can seem to be a little trickier to come up with creative, money savings ideas to do for that special Dad in your life. Here are a few ideas on what you can do to make the day special for Dad and everyone else that he will celebrate with. Father’s Day should be just as important than Mother’s Day as we need to recognize and give credit to all the amazing Dad’s out there.
Plan a Fishing Trip
This is a fun one. Even if the Dad in your life isn’t an avid fisherman, it’s always nice to get outdoors and have a fun day at the dock. Pick up an inexpensive fishing pole, pack a picnic lunch and head on out to the closest nearby pier to your town. You do not need a fishing license to fish off of any public pier usually, so it saves you some money on that end. Throw some chairs in your vehicle and off you go for an enjoyable day with Dad and Family.
Customizable Gifts
Just like on Mother’s Day, lots of photo outlets will have special deals on creating customizable gifts. Father’s always enjoy things like a tie with a picture of his kids on it. Perhaps a new coffee mug with pictures of his family for his every day trip to the office, which is a nice reminder of what he is working for each day. Or even an apron with a picture and maybe a funny saying on the front of it for when he BBQ’s on the weekend.
Plan a BBQ
This is a fun one to include all the kids and family. Think of Dad’s favorite BBQ food items, sit down with the kids to do all the planning. Let Dad take the day off and enjoy some of his favorites without having to do all the work. Include the kids in every part of the process from shopping, preparing, cooking, to clean up. Decorate the house with some fun paper cut outs such as cars, ties, “DAD”, “We Love You” type decorations. Have a beer chilling in the fridge for his enjoyment or make his favorite drink. Let him know how much he is loved by all the nice things are you letting him do on his special day. Sit down together as a family and enjoy the fruits of everyone’s labor, and most of all honor the Dad in your family.
Day of Golfing
Instead of waking Dad up with the chickens to be on time for tee off, plan a day of fun to your local miniature golf course. This way he can sleep in, and everyone in the family can enjoy a round of golf, spend time together, and play one of Dad’s favorite sports all at the same time. I’m sure he won’t mind a round of putt putt with the ones he loves.
Regardless of what you have planned for Father’s Day. Do something in some way to let your Dad know that he is loved and appreciated. Thank him for all that he does and give him some time to enjoy his loved ones around him. Our Dad’s all work very hard in one way or another to keep our families whole and they need to know it also.
Happy Father’s Day!
