Great Ways To Celebrate Your Dad This Father's Day
The Oily Home Companion
Father’s Day is a day set aside for the purpose of showing all of the dads in your life how much they mean to you and how valued they are! Instead of the typical mug and tie with a card, opt to go the extra mile for your dad by giving him something extra unique and special this year.
One of the best ways to show a dad how special he is to you is to treat him to an activity he loves as a family. Go camping, take a bike ride, go for a hike or play a round of golf, get tickets to his favorite sports game, or put on a gaming tournament with his favorite video or board games. You can also host a Father’s Day BBQ to gather multiple generations of dads together! There’s nothing more special than creating space for your dad or husband to honor his own dad, or the dad he raised. For those who have passed, this would be a great place to honor their legacy and the life they lived!
Instead of a traditional card, make a video e-card with everyone telling dad how much he means to you! He can save it to his desktop or phone and access it anytime, anywhere, for a little encouragement when he needs it most. Pair that with a gift that will be unique, just like he is. Here are a few ideas for the fashionable, fit, tech-savvy, and outdoorsy men in your life! If your dad fits into multiple categories, mix-and-match gifts that will best support his passions!
