This Father’s Day, take some inspiration from our 15 Fun Things To Do With Dad and make some lasting memories. Finding a unique way to celebrate the top man in your life can be tricky, so we’ve put together some great ideas that can be enjoyed by all ages, from a fishing trip, to taking him down the pub for a pint, and quite a lot in between!
Read on to find out how to make this Father’s Day a brilliant day for Dad - one that will stand out and get remembered. We have included some great themed gifts, and we are sure there will be a Father’s Day Idea in here to suit most Dads!
1 Go For a Round of Golf
Give Dad a new experience, or let him share his decades of knowledge and skill - whether a beginner golfer or a seasoned pro, spending a few hours on the green with family members will be a great experience all round. Book some lessons, or just go for a try out. Or if he’s already a well known face at the club, ask him to show you what it’s all about, spending a few hours at the driving range together. Presenting him with a personalised golf themed gift at the end of the day will make a perfect finish to a perfect day - why not choose our Personalised Golf Towel or his own Engraved Glass Beer Glass Tankard?
2 Arrange a Family Fishing Trip
Does Dad know all the best places to fish? Does he have a favourite spot, or somewhere he has always wanted to try? If he has regaled you with tales of the one that got away, likely he has also told you of the perfect spot to hang out for a day in the bivvy. Why not organise an early morning outing for the adults, and prepare a picnic to be joined by the rest of the family for elevensies? Introduce the family to his love of fishing, or at least his love of being outdoors. It may not be a quiet moment of reflection that fishing can often bring - but it will be a celebration of Dad and bringing everyone together for a few hours. An on theme souvenir of the day is a great way to wind up the expedition - take a look at our Personalised Fishing Gear Wooden Box
3 When Those Boots Are Made For Walking
What better way to enjoy the moment than pulling on your boots and getting outdoors for an adventure. Take a stroll around your local area, plot a new adventure, or head further a field and tread a famous trail to cross off his bucket list. Fresh air and adventure is a great way to create a united front - just make sure you’ve packed all the snacks! A great reminder of the day our Personalised Hiking Boot Bag will be a great reminder of a great day - and come in useful for many more hikes to come!
4 If 2 wheels feel better than 2 legs
Look into organising a fun trip out where he can feel the wind on his face, and get some great outdoor time with the family. If transporting all the bikes and clobber can feel a bit daunting - look into bike hire, which is available at many favourite nature spots. Look at using trailers or baby seats for the little ones who aren’t quite ready to follow in Dad’s bike tracks. Our Personalised Bicycle Puncture Repair Kit is a lovely little souvenir to remind him of a fun day, and hopefully keep him rolling if he ever comes unstuck!
5 Create a DIY Masterpiece
From building a shed to putting up a shelf, if your Dad is a DIY master, taking a few hours to spend creating something together is a sure way to a fulfilling day. If the kids are still little, a bird house to be painted by the tinies could be the perfect project. Our Personalised Wooden Hammer will be a lasting memory of the day spent together - and hopefully the masterpiece will last a few years too!
