With Father’s Day coming up, you might be struggling to find ideas on how to make your dad feel special. Here are some practical and enjoyable ways to show your father figure how much you love him:
1) Make it a Movie Date!
What dad doesn’t enjoy watching his old favorite classics with his family? Plan out a special movie night only filled with movies that make him happy.
2) Do a Family Puzzle Together
There is no better way to spend engaging quality time together than puzzling as a family.
3) Create a Photo Slideshow
Show Dad how much he matters by creating a photo slideshow or movie of your favorite times with him.
4) Bake His Favorite Dessert
For some dads, the quickest way to their heart is through their sweet tooth. It’s time to fine-tune your baking skills or grab his favorite dessert from the local bakery.
5) Self-Care Gift Basket
If you are willing to splurge a little on the gifting budget, a spa package with his favorite grooming products is a fun treat.
6) Grill Out Together
If your dad enjoys grilling, set your celebration outdoors. Set everyone’s chairs around the grill so you can focus on dad while he grills.
7) Go for the Greens
If you are looking for a peaceful retreat with your dad on Father’s Day, the golf course is the perfect place to go.

9) Campout with Dad
Speaking of nature, camping is another great way to extend the quality time with your dad outdoors.
10) Help Dad with Chores
Some Father’s Days don’t always fall on the most convenient days for dads. Ask him what needs to be done around the house and help him knock it out.
