Going to a store to buy a gift for dad this Father's Day may be
the easy route to take. However, you should take a look at these
terrific gifts to make for Father's Day so that it is personalized and
so dad feels super special:
A Father's Survival Kit - Take a box
of any size. Cover the box with dad's favorite color construction
paper. Decorate the box in any way you want, with crayons, stickers,
glitter glue, markers, stamps...it is up to you how you want to decorate
the box! Once the box is decorated, you can keep it looking nice by
covering it with clear contact paper. Now, fill it with everything dad
needs to survive: A picture of the family, a band-aid, a
mini screwdriver, a bag of mini Oreo cookies, a video or DVD telling him how
much he means to you...what you include is limited only by your
imagination. You can make the survival kit out of any kind of plastic
container, as well. Use puffy paints and glitter glue to decorate.
Special
Father's Day T-Shirt - On the computer, create a picture all your own.
Include "Happy Father's Day Dad" and pictures of his favorite hobbies,
like golf, baseball, grilling, fishing, boating, etc. (All these can be
found on free clip art sites online.) Print out your creation on
special iron-on paper found at your local discount store (in the craft
area). Now, iron-on your creation to a special shirt just for dad!
One
of a kind paperweight - Find a big rock or shell. With
paints and glitter, write "Happy Father's Day Dad" on the item and then decorate as
you want. This will make a great paperweight for dad's desk, either at
home or at work.
Don't forget Father's Day coupons - Create your
own coupons, or find templates online, for coupons for dad. Offer
anything you like: one "mowing the lawn" coupon, one "breakfast in bed"
coupon, one "empty the dishwasher" coupon, one "do your laundry" coupon.
