Dad’s big day is coming up. No time like the present to start brainstorming Father's Day gift ideas. There is nothing wrong with a tie or a gift card. But, you can also make Father’s Day special with a little time and thought.

This gift idea is absolutely free. Let your dad sleep in a little later.

Father's Day Gift Idea #2: Photo Albums

Whether you’ve got photo albums full of prints or loads of shots saved to your iPhone, turn what you have into an artful gift for Dad. Have you seen the latest canvas prints? Pull some great pictures of you with Dad through the years and turn them into gallery-quality canvas-wrapped art.

Father's Day Gift Idea #3: Go Outdoors

Take Dad outdoors to a favorite fishing spot, or explore somewhere new to test the waters. Other Father’s Day Gift ideas could be an overnight camping trip, a walk on the beach or a hike at a scenic park. There are many ways to enjoy the great outdoors together.

Father's Day Gift Idea #4: Snack Attack! 

If you’re crafty you’ll love this Father’s Day gift idea. Make your own gift basket! Make your basket themed, such as a beer-lover’s basket with an assorted of microbrews, popcorn, pretzels and nuts. If Dad has a sweet tooth, perhaps gather an assortment of his favorite candies and homemade cookies.

Happy Father's Day

When a special day like Father`s Day is around the corner, surely we want to offer our celebrated something special to tell them how much we love them. Parents always have and always will love homemade gifts and cards, because of all the love we put in it when making the craft. Here are 2 card ideas you can easily do with kids or by yourself:

Wallet Card

You will need: 

Brown craft paper: 4.5x11(cover of the wallet); 3.75x11(big pocket for the message); 1.5x3(small pocket for the gift card)

Craft paper (choose his favorite color) for the message you will write Glue to stick all parts together

1. Put ½ inch of glue on the 2 smaller sides and 1 bigger side of the “big pocket” paper. Then stick it to the “cover” corner-to-corner. Make sure that there is one side of the “big pocket” that doesn’t have any glue, and then you will be able to slide your message in it!
2. Do the same for the “small pocket” and stick it on the “big pocket” to the right or to the left, but not in the center!
3. Slide your message in the bigger pocket and your gift card in the smaller one and bend the paper wallet in the center.

An image of BBQ utensils (printed or drawn) 

Glue and pencil!

1. Cut the 2 upper corners to make curves.
2. Put ½ inch of glue on the 2 smaller sides and 1 bigger side of the pocket. Then stick it to the bottom of the apron. Stick the 2 buttons on both 2 top sides of the apron.
3. Stick each end of the ribbon behind the top of the apron.
