Father’s Day is just as important as Mother’s Day. While most dads are not quite as hands on as mothers, they play a very important role in the home. Providing for their family and representing a male role model are their two main jobs. Of course, dads around the world always manage to take it to the next level when it comes to their children, which is why they deserve to be celebrated.

Bring him breakfast

Mother’s Day often kicks off with breakfast in bed. Why should Father’s Day be any different? You might need to be extra sneaky and be careful not to make a noise. Prepare his favourite breakfast foods and pair them with some fresh fruit juice, coffee or tea. Take them to him on a tray and surprise him as soon as he opens his eyes.

Remember, this is a family event so make sure that you let the children take part as well. They might want to help prepare his breakfast. Find jobs for each one so that they can all feel like they have contributed. You can also include a card on the breakfast tray. A card made by your children is the most special gift of all.

Shower him with gifts

Present your Father’s Day gifts to him in bed along with breakfast or immediately afterwards. Many children are too young to buy a gift for dad which is why home made gifts are such a practical and thoughtful idea.

Gifts from mum can include anything he wants or needs. From pamper gifts to a whisky hamper or anything that suits his preferences. He might not need something at home but perhaps he needs something for his office.

Take him out

Take dad out for Father’s Day and show him the best time ever! After breakfast in bed, you can have him get dressed and take a trip together to a place he loves. He might enjoy a particular outdoor spot or a museum. Whatever his preferences are, today is all about him. While you are out, you are bound to work up an appetite so make sure that you plan for lunch. You can pack a picnic basket or reserve a table at his favourite restaurant. Either way, this gives you to enjoy a lovely meal together as a family.

Don’t let him lift a finger

Most important of all is to make sure that you don’t let him do a thing today. It’s all about pampering him and keeping him as relaxed as possible. This is one reason why it might be a good idea to get him out of the house. That way, there is no chance of him ending up working on something.

These gift ideas are great ways of making Father’s Day memorable for him and your whole family. After everything he does for his family every day, this one day each year should be extra special.
