I guarantee he’ll appreciate the effort that you and your kids put into his gift and as he uses it and keeps it through out the years he’ll always look back to this Father’s Day as one of the best.

2. I Love You Photo Frame
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but there’s no harm in adding a little message to a photo. There no more important or sweet words than “I love you” from your child. This photo frame with I Love U spelled out in scrabble letters is such a creative take on a plain photo frame. Frame a picture of your child or a photo of your child and their dad together. Then have your child help you glue the letters on and you’ve got yourself a personalized, handmade gift. It’s so easy that your child can even do it, or at least help you with it. Their dad can be forever reminded of how much their child loves them when they see it every day on their desk at work or at home.

6. Dad Libs
Laughter is one of the best medicines in this world. If your children and their father are in need of a good laugh this Father’s Day, have your children make a special “Dad Libs” for their dad. It’s like Mad Libs, but specifically made for dads. Older children can fill these out by themselves, while younger children will need your help with answering and writing the words. When your husband opens up this gift not only will he be transported back to his childhood days, but he and the whole family will be rolling on the floor laughing at the funny story that comes from their kid’s Dad Libs. It’ll be fun for the whole family and a day that you will all look back on with fond memories.
