Father’s Day is less than 1 week away. Are you still thinking about what to make or get Dad?
I’ve come up with some great ideas you can use to help put your Father’s Day gift together. Some are DIY and others are just want dads are looking for to kick back and relax. All dads have different interests, but hopefully you can find one idea that you can use!
Idea #1 a personalized mug that your toddler or child can contribute to
Everyone loves a good cup of coffee in the morning. What better gift than to have your little one decorate a mug for dad to use. It will get used on a regular basis and is super easy to make! Grab a plain coffee cup. I grabbed a 17oz mug from target for $2.00. You could easily purchase this item from the dollar store as well. Next you will need some of sharpie’s oil-based paint markers. I bought a pack of 5 and decided to use orange, blue, and green. The last item you will really need for this project is stickers. I found some lying around in my scrapbook collection. It does not really matter what color they are because you will be tearing them off after you are done having them draw on the mug.
Step 1: tape of the handle and the top of the mug so that paint won’t get in dad’s mouth
Step 2: put stickers on the mug, I chose to write the word dad on ours
Step 3: have your child decorate the mug with the oil-based paint markers. Make sure you cover up the middle and around the letters so that when you peel off the letters you can read what the word says. I would wait to peel of the stickers at least an hour or two to let the markers dry.
Step 4: let sit for a few hours, I let ours sit overnight
Step 5: bake at 250 for about 2 hours, put the coffee cup into the oven before you turn the temperature on, this way it warms up with the oven
Idea #2 a personalized shirt for dad and baby
Dad and daughter matching shirts! I highly recommend using Bella + Canvas shirts, they are so soft, comfortable, and have practically every color imaginable! I created these shirts using my cricut maker.
Step 1: Decide on your favorite font
Step 2: the color HTV you will be using
Step 3: cut your image and weed
Step 4: heat up your heat press ( I used siser easyweed HTV so I set my temperature to 305 degrees and pressed for 15-20 seconds)
Idea #3 beer
Men love to drink beer. Whether it’s watching a sports game, relaxing outside, grilling, or hanging with his friends. Create a mixed beer box of his favorite beers or different ones for him to enjoy and try. You could also get a YETI rambler to keep the beer cold!
Idea #4 Slippers
Find a comfy pair of slippers that he can be comfortable in around the house.
Idea #5 Personalized Father’s Day book
I love the concept of Wonderbly’s personalized book collection. You can pick and choose from a ton of different stories where you can personalize the story and add your child’s name as the character. You can even create a dedication page that he will enjoy reading every time he opens the book. My daughter absolutely loves this story and it is a great way for her and my husband to bond at night.
