Get ready\u2014it’s time to celebrate dad. The one day a year dedicated to showing your pops just how much he means to you and your family is right around the corner. Why not make this Father’s Day stand out from all of the rest? To help make this year extra special, we\u2019ve rounded up some great Father\u2019s Day ideas<\/a> that are super fun, creative, and won\u2019t break the bank. From special homemade arts and crafts to various outdoor activities, and of course, custom apparel<\/a> we have something to suit every dad’s style. Check out our top Father’s Day ideas in the list below!<\/p>\n Is your dad king of the grill? Make Pops a barbecue box filled with all the grillin\u2019 essentials. He\u2019s always finding a reason to fire up that grill, which means it\u2019s probably time to upgrade his grilling tools. Set Dad up with a brand new set of grilling tongs and a silicone basting brush for all those sauces he\u2019s concocting. For an extra tasty touch, make a jar of your own specialty brown sugar rib rub or pick up a tried and dad-approved favorite of his to throw in. Tailor his BBQ box to his taste buds by choosing a variety of spicy, sweet, and savory sauces. Set your grill father up for grilling success by adding his drink of choice to the box\u2014because grilling is just better with a frosty brew in hand. Now that Dad\u2019s stocked with new tools, the perfect flavor, and his favorite drink, the only thing he\u2019s missing is the custom t-shirt he\u2019ll wear with pride for years to come while grilling up feasts fit for a king\u2026 himself! If you need a little design help when it comes to your grill master\u2019s custom tee, add the Grill Master mockup<\/a> to our Hanes Authentic Pocket T\u2011shirt<\/a>. Dad\u2019s sure to feel like the real Grill Father after a gift this good!<\/p>\n This super easy homemade paperweight is a\u00a0great craft, especially for young kids. The first step is finding the perfect rock\u2014check the backyard or hit up a nearby park. Once you find a winner, wash off the dirt and let it dry. The next step is to paint it. After it\u2019s dry, use a sharpie to write a special message, such as \u201cMy Dad Rocks!\u201d Don\u2019t forget to sign and date it, too. Dad can take his paperweight to work\u00a0and have constant reminder of how you feel about him at the office.<\/p>\n Is your dad known for spouting off the same line, joke, or mantra? Put it on a custom t-shirt<\/a>! If you’re crafty, go all out and do it yourself. If not, no worries, Custom Ink has got you covered with our list of Father’s Day Slogans<\/a>. You\u2019ll have a blast coming up with your own design in our Design Lab<\/a>. Order a shirt available in any quantity<\/a>, or get custom gear for the whole family. Dad will love the tribute and his new tee! This is the perfect gift for the dad that doubles as the handyman. All you need is an unfinished wood picture frame, some paint, glue, alphabet stickers, and assorted hardware nuts in different sizes\u2014plus, of course, a great picture of you. First, paint the picture frame and let it dry. Next, apply the stickers to say \u201cWe\u2019re Nuts About You, Dad.\u201d Now, use the glue to adhere various nuts to the remaining parts of the frame. Finally, add your favorite photo to the frame and the gift is ready to go! Quick, easy, and a present dad will be nuts about.<\/p>\n Is dad a golf fanatic? Celebrate Father\u2019s Day with his favorite pastime. Go to a driving range, a mini golf course, or set up a putt-putt course in your own back yard. It can be fun to make your own wacky course with old toys, cups, cones, and boxes. Make dad a special lunch by serving up some golf \u201cclub\u201d sandwiches and a side of \u201cchips\u201d for an easy meal. Make sure to have a big pitcher of Arnold Palmer on hand (half ice-tea, half lemonade)! If you want to give dad a present, how about a new set of golf balls or a custom polo<\/a> shirt? The day is sure to be a ball.<\/p>\n Make dad a unique set of coasters this Father\u2019s Day. Collect some cardboard beer carriers or soda boxes\u2014these will be the design on the coasters, so make sure they\u2019re dad\u2019s favorite! Use a pen and trace the coaster (4×4 inch tile picked up at local craft store) on the cardboard so it\u2019s the same size as the tile \u2013 then cut the square out of the cardboard. Next, brush a coat of Mod Podge onto the back of cardboard and place on top of tile. If it starts to bubble, smooth it out. Turn it over to dry for 15-20 minutes. Repeat this step 3 more times, letting the coat of Mod Podge dry in between layers. Once completely dry, sand down any rough edges. Finish by placing the self adhesive felt pads on the bottom of tiles. In order to protect your coaster and make it last longer, paint a coat of clear polycrylic protective finish over the top. Dad will be super impressed with his custom coaster and they\u2019re sure to be a perfect addition to his man cave.<\/p>\n By now we\u2019ve all seen the super cool recreations of a favorite photo from childhood. Dad’s totally in on the fun in this kicked up throwback where he’s the star. The key to throwback success? Nail the outfits. Your local thrift store is the best bet for adult-sized version of your retro attire. It\u2019s not likely you\u2019ll find the exact match, but keep your eyes out for things that could work with a little creativity. Not finding that floral dress with white ruffle bib four-year-old you rocked? Wear a dress from today in a similar shade and pattern with a bib made from an old curtain. If you\u2019re fresh out of dated curtains (we don’t judge!), cut a bib out of an old t-shirt and attach lace from a craft store. Once you\u2019ve snapped the perfect photo, put the throwback and the reenactment side by side in a two photo frame. Not only will Dad get the coolest keepsake, the memory will be twice as sweet now that you\u2019ve lived it twice! Bonus points if Dad’s still got the outfit he was rocking a couple decades back!<\/p>\n Does dad love the great outdoors, but doesn\u2019t have time for a weekend away? Bring on the father-child bonding and enjoy the nature of your own backyard. Break out the tent and sleeping bags and put dad\u2019s manly credentials to the test (but remember, if all goes wrong you’re only a short distance from a clean bathroom and stocked fridge)! Roast hot dogs, make s\u2019mores, and sing campfire tunes all night long. You can even take a pre-dinner hike around the neighborhood. Don\u2019t forget the after dark ghost stories and flashlight tag. Want to get dad a new tee to wear in the great outdoors? Check out our ‘intense dad’ shirt as seen above\u00a0here<\/a>. Fresh air with his kids\u2014Dad is sure to be a happy camper!<\/p>\n We all love and appreciate dad, but he doesn\u2019t hear it enough. So why not capture all of the things you admire about him in a one-of-a-kind book? Go to your local craft store and pick up a blank book that you can fill in with all of the reasons you love your papa bear. If you\u2019re not artsy, don\u2019t worry, there are plenty of websites out there to help you create and print a book like a pro. It\u2019s fun to include “reasons why” from your siblings and mom, but is sure to be just as special if it\u2019s just from you. Get the tissues ready\u2014it\u2019s time to tell dad just how important he is to you.<\/p>\n Make Dad feel special with more than just a gift, make a memory! Don\u2019t worry too much about a big expensive to-do, sometimes all Dad needs is some QT with his kiddos. Forgo the typical lunch or dinner and spend time on his turf. Is he a big fisher? Buy a few new lures, hit up his favorite spots, and don\u2019t look at the clock once. That\u2019s a gift he\u2019ll appreciate more than a new tie. If Dad\u2019s big into golf, set up a day at the range. Not only will he love the initiative, he\u2019ll have the best day teeing off with his kid. Whatever Dad\u2019s favorite hobby (baseball, brews, Nascar, etc), plan a day doing exactly what he wants. He\u2019s going to love not only spending the day with you, but spending the day doing something he loves. To make a good day a long lasting memory, create custom t-shirts to wear. Try out the \u201cDad Since 20XX\u201d<\/a> template or the \u201cWorld\u2019s Best Dad\u201d<\/a> on the Anvil Hooded Long Sleeve T-shirt<\/a>. He\u2019ll be able to rock this custom look year round while showing off to the world that he\u2019s the best dad around, duh!<\/p>\n The old man doesn\u2019t need some elaborate gift to know how much you love him. This Father\u2019s Day gift idea will show Dad you\u2019re thinking of him while not breaking the bank. To craft this DIY thank you for Dad, you\u2019ll need a 32 oz mason jar (or any glass jar with lid) and acrylic enamel paint in black (or whatever Pop\u2019s favorite color is). Practice drawing a mustache and filling it in with the paintbrush a few times before getting started on the glass. You\u2019ll want to feel pretty confident in your skills before starting on the real deal. Space out your artwork with enough room for a big mustache and the words, \u201cDad\u2019s Stache\u201d. Let your jar air dry for at least 24 hours and then fill with Dad\u2019s favorite goodies- butterscotch candies, fishing lures, M&MS, honey roasted peanuts, or even a mix of golf balls and tees. Dad\u2019s sure to love this little \u2018stache just for him.<\/p>\n Take dad out for a thrill. Find the nearest go-kart track, hand him a helmet, and watch dad\u2019s inner speed demon go crazy. You\u2019ll have a blast zipping around the track all day together. Is paintball more his thing? Nothing says \u201cI love you\u201d quite like a family paintball battle. No matter what adventurous activity you choose, you and dad will have a day to remember. Give dad a delicious dinner al fresco for his special day. Find your favorite spot in the park or set up your backyard with a blanket in the grass and a few throw pillows for a true picnic vibe. If you want to fire up the grill, classic cheeseburgers or hot dogs are sure to win dad\u2019s heart. If you want to keep it more simple, make dad his favorite sandwich. To complete the meal, make up a few of his most-loved side dishes such as corn on the cob, baked beans, or potato salad. Don\u2019t forget a six-pack of dad\u2019s favorite beer! Pull out the corn hole and bocce ball set\u2014this Father’s Day picnic is one the whole family will enjoy. It’s sure to leave dad with a heart as full as his belly.<\/p>\n Time to get physical. Get outside and compete in a fun game of family kickball or baseball. Rally up the siblings or a few neighborhood families and let the games begin. Don\u2019t forget the team tees<\/a> or jersey<\/a>! It’s perfect way to unite your team, commemorate the day, and make an extra special gift for dad. Get ready\u2014it’s time to celebrate dad. The one day a year dedicated to showing your pops just how much he means to you and your family is right around the corner. Why not make this Father’s Day stand out from all of the rest?
