We all want to show our dads that we care on Father’s Day. What can you get him that he doesn’t already have? Do something that shows how well you know and appreciate your dad. Here are 20 Father’s Day ideas to show him how much you care.
- Get fishing licenses for both of you and go fishing
- College mascot-branded duct tape for the sports fan or handyman
- Take in a minor league baseball game
- Detail his car with cleaner and a vacuum
- Take a trip to the driving range together
- Dust and sort his toolbox – don’t forget to label the wrenches and sockets
- Tackle the mowing, raking or other yard work
- Personalized coffee mug – write on a blank mug with Sharpies, then bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes
- Build your own BBQ rub or sauce using dad’s favorite flavors
- Give the grill a thorough cleaning
- Clean and organize the shed or garage – it’s probably been on his to-do list all year
