Thoughtful Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is right around the corner and it’s time to make dad feel special. My husband does so much to help me out around the house that it only seems right to pull out all the stops on his special holiday. This year, my family wanted to do something a bit different to celebrate my husband. You can only gift a man so many grill brushes and graphic tees before the novelty wears off, after all! We decided to opt for a more sentimental route this year. With the world practically turned on its head, it now seems like the perfect moment to tell your loved ones how much you care for and appreciate them. Below are several thoughtful Father’s Day gift ideas to show the special man in your life just how much you care.

Create a digital photo album

It’s long been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. This Father’s Day, give the special man in your life the gift of a thousand memories with a digital photo album. Digitize old photos from your family’s history and compile them in one central location that your husband can view at the simple click of a button. On Father’s Day, you and your family can reminisce over photos of your children’s younger years or you and your husband’s first years as a married couple. This also makes a great gift for grandfathers. Digitizing photos from your dad or grandpa’s past will ensure that the memories continue to stand the test of time and will never be forgotten, no matter how many years pass.

Gift him a day of rest

Perhaps the most thoughtful Father’s Day gift idea is simply a moment of peace and quiet. Dads do so much, from home repairs to yard work to tucking the kids in with a book and a lullaby every night. Amidst everything they do to support and care for their family, it can sometimes be hard for them to remember to care for themselves. Spending the day pampering your papa can be a great way to show your appreciation for everything he does. Consider cooking his favorite meal, taking the reins on typical household chores, or tidying up his workbench. Giving him free rein of the remote control doesn’t hurt, either!

The gift that keeps on giving

Show dad that you’re thinking of him not only on his big day but year-round with the gift that keeps on giving. Subscription boxes have become increasingly popular in recent years and are great ways to treat dad to a little TLC on a regular basis. Many subscription boxes are even tailored to incredibly niche interests, so no matter where your husband, dad, or grandpa’s passions lie, you can give them a gift they’ll love. Grilling, fishing, whiskey, and gardening subscription boxes are all very popular choices.
