For some reason, I always get stumped when it comes to gifting my Papa. He has a billion tools, half of which I don’t even know what they are. He also collects vinyl but since he has a 30 year head start on me, there’s not much I can find that he doesn’t have.
That means getting pretty creative when it comes to Father’s Day. Of course, when it comes to creating something from the kiddos, it’s easier. They could give him a half-eaten piece of candy and he’d think it’s the greatest thing ever, I swear.
If you’re stumped on what to get the dad in your life this year, try making him something instead. From delicious edibles to kid-crafted gifts, you’ll find something for every father on any budget (even free) in the ideas below!
The next time Dad is building a Lego creation with the kiddos, snap a picture. Then surprise him with it in a cool Lego stamped frame for Father’s Day!
Give a gift to help him blow off steam and relax after a long day at work. These DIY cornhole boards are a fun outdoor game to enjoy with his friends or with the kiddos.
Is Dad a photography enthusiast? If so, he’ll love getting this DIY camera strap for Father’s Day. Easily customize it to fit Dad’s individual style and give him a fun new way to wear his favorite accessory.

This fun gift idea is the perfect way to serve Dad a delicious pancake breakfast on Father’s Day. Let him enjoy some peace, quiet, and syrup before facing the day.
Speaking of food, who doesn’t love getting a delicious treat as a gift? Make edible chocolate chip cookie dough and put it in a pretty container for Dad to enjoy. Actually, you may want to make a double-batch so you can taste-test it for him.
Sometimes dads stink. When mine comes home from a drill weekend in the field, it’s a little extra, let me tell you. Now you can give him a gift that benefits you both with this manly smelling homemade soap.
Acts of service don’t cost a thing. If you’re looking for a super budget-friendly gift idea that’s still incredibly meaningful then clean his car for Father’s Day. This article will help you get every nook and cranny sparkly clean for him.
Years later, all the dads in our life still love these coasters. Just like photos of little ones playing with Papaw, these are snapshots into your kid’s childhood that will be cherished by dads and grandpas alike.
