Father’s Day Gift Ideas

by Deborah Shelton
The Five Minute Parent

Stumped on what to get Dad for his special day? Here are a few fun and creative ways to show him just how loved he really is.

* Extra Special Father's Day Card
Stretch your arms out, parallel to the floor, and lay your arms and head on a sheet of butcher paper. Let someone else trace the outline of your hands, arms and head with a pencil. Fill in the details yourself with crayons and markers. At the top of the paper, above your head, write "Happy Father's Day!" At the bottom, write "I love you thiiiiiiiiiis much!" Roll the paper and place it inside of a cardboard paper towel tube. (It's okay if the paper pokes out of the ends.) Decorate the tube with stickers.

* Breakfast of Champions
Help prepare Dad's all-time favorite breakfast, and serve it to him in bed. Be sure to include orange juice, the Sunday newspaper and your special Father's Day card!

* Movie Marathon
Rent Dad's favorite movies; have all of his favorite munchies on hand and pile up together on the sofa for a movie marathon!

* A Penny for Your Thoughts
Take a leisurely stroll with Dad around the neighborhood, and just talk. Super simple and so enjoyable.

* They're Playing Our Song
Call a local radio station and request a special song just for your dad. "This next song goes out to Deborah's Dad-- she thinks you're the greatest. Happy Father's Day!" Make sure Dad is listening when it plays!

* Zzzzzzzzzz
Give Dad what he really wants: Play quietly while he enjoys a much-deserved nap.
