HUGE Father's Day Idea Roundup

With Father's Day being Sunday, there are just a few more days to find or make the perfect gift for the guy/s in your life.  Whether it's your husband, father, grandpa or uncle, I've rounded up lots of ways to make him feel special.



Click on the source links to go to the original source if you'd like to pin any of these great ideas.

Gift ideas

This etched glass baseball vase is a cool idea for a guy who like baseball.  Find out how to make your own HERE


1.  Lego Cuff Links these look so cute and easy to make.
2.  Daddy's car wash kit is just a bucket filled with car washing supplies.  This could be done with other themes such as movies, golf, grilling....
3.  Embroider child's artwork onto a hankie for dad or grandpa
4.  Shrinky Dink Tie Tack  Using a Shrinky Dink kit, you can turn photos into tie tacks or key chains.

Christy came up with this cute "We love you to pieces" idea HERE.


Here's a different take on the 'tie' theme found over at Little LDS Ideas.  The attached note says:

Here's a special tie for you,
To tell you Thanks for all you do!
Dad, you are:
T-errific
I-ncredible
E-xtraordinary
You're the best a kid could have,
I'm so glad that you're my Dad!
Happy Father's Day!
Love, (child's name).

Then at the bottom, in smaller font it says:
It's not another tie to wear,
But maybe one that you could share?

Another "Tie-rific" idea from Then She Made.  Candy bars wrapped up to look like a shirt and tie.












These Father's Day Goodie Bags could be filled with Dad's favorite treat.   Find out how to make them at Little Family Fun.



Hugs and Kisses in a bag with this cute printable make an easy gift for the kids at church to give to their dads.  The words come from THIS primary children's song.

I love this simple quote and photo display.   Check out how Shanty2Chic made it HERE.

Here's something special just for Grandpa:


TwoGirlzStuff took a picture of her kids holding up a 'We love daddy' sign to create a cool image.   We did this two years ago, check it out HERE.

Check out how Kim created this picture over at The Celebration Shoppe.  We did this one last year.













Amy from Positively Splendid made this cute photo collage with her kids.  She explains how she created the collage using Picasa.

This craft is similar to the Mother's Day craft I made for my Mom and Mother in law two years ago.

Here's a cute canvas project for Dad. 
Click on over to Roots and Wings to get the full tutorial. 
You could easily add more kid's hands to the picture, or make the hands out of  fabric instead of patterned paper. 
It would make a cute card too. 




Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

~ Theodore Hesburgh


"...a father's calling is eternal, and its importance transcends time. It is a calling for both time and eternity" ("To the Fathers in Israel,"  Ezra Taft Benson: ("To the Fathers in Israel," Ensign, Nov 1987, 48.)

Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development.

~ David Gottesman


"Earn the respect and confidence of your children through your loving relationship with them. A righteous father protects his children with his time and presence in their social, educational, and spiritual activities and responsibilities. Tender expressions of love and affection toward children are as much the responsibility of the father as the mother. Tell your children you love them"   Howard W. Hunter: ("Being a Righteous Husband and Father," Ensign, Nov 1994, 49.)

A wise son maketh a glad father

~ Proverbs 10:1


Here's a great article by James E. Faust about being a good husband and father:
"Most men worry about succeeding in their life’s work and spend much time and effort at their profession. But I’ve learned that the way to put one’s professional life in order is to put one’s personal life in order. How can we be adequate at anything professionally without being adequate as men, husbands, and fathers first? "

A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

~Author Unknown


Another article by James E. Faust about how we can help strengthen the father:
"In order to strengthen the father in the home, I make two simple suggestions: first, sustain and respect the father in his position; second, give him love, understanding, and some appreciation for his efforts."

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

~Clarence Budington Kelland




I know this was a long post but I figured I'd put all these ideas in one spot.  Hope you found something useful.  A lot of the gifts would not only work for Father's Day, but would work for birthday and Christmas too.
