5 Tips to Make Father’s Day Extra Special Every Year
My girls want to make father’s day a special day for their dad, but sometimes the simplest things will make the day extra special for dad. Remember, every dad is different, but hopefully these few tips will help you make father’s day extra special every year!
Consider a handmade gift
Handmade gifts aren’t always your first thought when you’re shopping for a dad. We often think of things like camping gear, outdoors stuff, food, or beer! It’s sometimes a misconception that dads only want to buy items, but even dads enjoy a good homemade gift with some thought put into it! If the fathers you want to spoil have beards, why not make some homemade beard oil? Even if they DO like to go camping, you could make a comfy pillow for nights out camping when they can’t get comfortable or something along those lines. As long as your gift has thought put into it, it will be much appreciated and make Father’s Day extra special!
Plan a surprise
Whether it’s a nice dinner at his favorite restaurant, a picnic, or even just a nice breakfast in bed, Father’s Day surprises are a great way to spoil the dads in your life! Find something he really enjoys and makes a surprise date out of it for a great Father’s Day gift!
Worry about the sentiment more than the day
If you or the dads in your life have to work on Father’s Day and you can’t quite get the time to do something special on the actual day, no worries! Just schedule a different day when you have time to celebrate – surely they won’t mind a special day no matter WHEN it is!
Show the love
Sometimes, especially for long-term marriages and couples, it can be easy to get stuck in a routine where you’re just going through the motions. If you haven’t told the dads in your life how much you love them, let them know! You can write them a heartfelt letter or note or even just have a heart-to-heart! Holidays like these are to make someone in your life feel loved, so find a way to do that (even if letter writing isn’t your forte)!
Delicious food
If the dads in your life are food enthusiasts or enjoy a certain kind of food, go all out for Father’s Day! Whether you cook the food, enjoy it at a restaurant, or order takeout, it’s all about spending time together enjoying the food you love!
These tips will help you make Father’s Day extra special. Just remember that no matter what you decide on, it will be perfect!

These are awesome tips! We usually head to the Strawberry Festival for Father’s Day so that my daughter and fiance can spend some time together on the rides and such, and then come home to a big dinner and present time. I want to switch it up this year so that it’s not so predictable, but I’m not sure of where to start! These tips will definitely make it easier to do. You’ve definitely got my creative wheels turning 😉 Thank you!
My girls love to go strawberry picking and my hubby loves when I cook with them, LOL! I have a big surprise for my hubby this year. Plus his birthday is the week before!
Thanks for the Father’s Day reminder, we are starting to make plans and a few of those things you mention are on our list, FOOD, LOVE and a heartfelt gesture! I will read this to my son and brainstorm 🙂
Thanks Norah!
Aw, I love giving surprises as gifts, and I love handmade gifts straight from the heart even more. I live so far away from my Father (a 10 hour flight not counting lay-overs). Definitely pullin’ at my heart strings here with this blog post, missing him!!
Awe! Yeah, my father will be back in Puerto Rico for father’s day.
With father’s day coming so soon I definitely this post is so helpful! I’m thinking about quite a few surprises myself 😉 shhh, haha. Thanks for the 5 tips, I will definitely keep them in mind. He will definitely feel loved, cared for and love his day <3 I will be sharing it to others.
I’m sure he will!
I agree that food is the way to a mans heart! I think I am going to have my boys make their dad breakfast in bed!
That’s a great idea!
This year the kids and I are going to be gone from home for 3 weeks and finally making it back late on Father’s Day. I’m doubting we will do gifts this year, but you are right…food always hits the spot. My husband’s favorite pie (which is pretty much any pie) and hugs from the kids he’s been missing, and I’m sure it’ll be a great holiday.
Oh, my hubby would be happy with pie too!
I forgot! Father’s day is near to coming, I dont think my kids planning a surprise for me lol, but I’d love to celebrate fathers day in dinner or watching a great movie. These are greay tips thanks for sharing idea.
Haha! Just drop them a few hints John 😉 I’m sure it will be special no matter what!
I love your tips on making Father’s Day extra special!! My dad doesn’t like big gifts so I love the idea of a handmade gift! My dads favorite gift from my sister and I is a card/letter! He loves reading them. Thanks for these great tips! I loved reading them!!
Great post, I think we so often get lost in the Day and forget it is the sentiment and the specialness we bring that will actually make their day. I know hubby loves certain activities so the kids and I are planning breakfast in bed, followed by the activities he loves.
