Gift Ideas:
- Go practical. Whatever your dad needs might be a great gift. From a gas gift card to socks, you might be surprised how something small delights a pragmatic father.
- Lean into his passion. Golf, music, cars, movies – whatever your dad is passionate about might be a great fit for a Father’s Day gift. Even if you only give a $5 gift card, it will make your dad feel special. I love these printable “Tee-Rific Dad” printables that would be perfect for some golf tees.
- Fill his belly. Somehow all dads have a favorite food or snack. Whether its cashews or root beer, pick up your pop’s special indulgence. He’ll be glad you did. You’ll probably be able to find a FREE printable on Pinterest that pairs with it well too. Here are some I found.
- Destination gift cards. Has your father traveled recently? Was there a special restaurant or destination that he loves? See if you can snag a gift card online for a return trip.
- Write a letter. You don’t want to stand in line and your dad would rather have your words than a greeting card company’s. Sit down and pen a letter for your pop this afternoon.
- Printable Gifts. Pinterest is busting with great Printables. From a crown for your dad to coupons or tokens and simple ways to add a little spark to an ordinary gift. I created a board with some of my favorite ideas entitled Day of Dads.
