Celebrating Dad: gift ideas and ways to celebrate

June has crept up on me, and Father's day will be here before you know it!! So today I'm talking about Father's Day.  Truthfully, some of the best gifts are not material items and don't cost much.  I'm pretty sure my husband's favorite way to spend the day is a yummy breakfast (made by me and the kids), a little family fun and adventure (boat rides, walks, island exploring, and then a little time to himself to do whatever he wants.  Here are some ideas for ways to celebrate dad and some gift ideas:

• Create a Shutterfly photo calendar with pictures of the kids and family (my dad loves these)
• The Gentlemen's Gift Set from Herbal Grace Creations
• Nice grill sauces perhaps from Stonewall Kitchen, and kick it up a notch and accompany it with a gift card to his favorite local butcher
• Do a cookout with all his favorite foods to celebrate, and let him off grill duty for the day- have the kids help if they are able
• Take over some of his chores for the day
• Get his car detailed or if he likes to do his own, make him a kit of all the best supplies
• Indulge his hobby- i.e. if he's a golfer, maybe a round of golf at a new spot, if he's a fisherman maybe some new lures, or maybe he's an athlete or trying to shape up and would like a Nike Fuel Band?
• Get a babysitter and take him out for a special evening or activity he'd love  
• Frame special pieces of the kids' artwork, could be a great addition to his office
• Bespoke Custom Gifts has some awesome customizable items from dad- dopp kits, money holder, flask..the list goes on!
• A "trunk" from Trunk Club- give your man a new look!  I was shocked to know my husband really wants to try this 
• Give him a few hours to do whatever he wants, he will appreciate the freedom and peace :-) 

If you're looking to spoil your spouse/partner this year, here are some ideas to go big:

• For the man who loves to grill, maybe a new upgraded grill is in order
• Is your man an adventurer, how about a  Go-Pro (my husband has been really wanting one of these for his boat..so I think I may splurge)
• Maybe your man is more comfortable in the kitchen?  Treat him with a Vitamix!
• Or perhaps he's a sports enthusiast in which case good tickets to a sporting event would be a big hit!
• An awesome pair of sunglasses is usually a big hit!  My husband loves Costa Del Mars - a great gift for any dad that spends a lot of time on the water

What are you planning for dad this year?  I'd love to hear your ideas!!




Thanks as always for stopping by!
