No more ties! homemade gift ideas for father’s day

If you’re like me, you never know what to get dad for Father’s Day. Well, today you will get some ideas that will get you out of trouble at any time.

wallet souvenirs – Cut out a rectangle the size of a business card on cardboard. Decorate both sides with stickers, photos, small messages or drawings (for children). Laminate it, and give it to Dad. You can keep the card in your wallet, a reminder of his kind gesture.

daddy’s cake – Your child will love creating this Father’s Day cake. Bake a cake and then get to decorating. You can create a golf scene for the golfing dad, a briefcase for the businessman, or just a smiley face. Oh, what fun!

short stories – Write a short story where the hero is your dad. Don’t forget to mention some of the things you’ve always taken for granted and never thanked him for. This will be a great keepsake for him. An alternative to this would be to write a poem for your dad and have it framed for him.

father of the year banner – Design a father of the year banner and put it up in the front yard before dad comes home on Father’s Day.

Breakfast in bed – We always do this for mom, but this time, make dad’s favorite breakfast and serve it in bed. Better yet, make breakfast for 2 and leave him and mom alone to enjoy it.

scented pillow – Sew a small cushion and fill it with cotton and a few drops of sage, marjoram or ylang-ylang, or a combination of them, for an anti-stress effect. If you want, you can also hand-embroider some sweet saying like “World’s Best Dad”.
