Beyond Neckties and Store-Bought Cards:
Meaningful Gift Ideas for His First Father’ s Day
1. Homemade cards. Use baby’ s handprints and footprints to make a sweet, artful card Dad will cherish. Here are some great ideas to try!
2. Keepsake keychains. Keys are something we keep with us most of the time, so a personalized keychain is a meaningful gift that will always be close at hand.
3. Unique photo gifts. Have you seen the photos with“ We love you Dad” written on the kids’ feet? It makes a really cute Father’ s Day gift. Alternatively, I love this photo from The Unoriginal Mom that uses wooden letters from the crafts aisle.
4. Handprint sports balls. If Dad is a sports fan, he’ ll adore this! Simply put baby’ s handprint on a baseball or any other sports ball Dad is a fan of. It’ ll make a cute display in his man cave.
5. Photo books. Gather up the sweetest and best photo memories of Dad and baby thus far and compile a photo book keepsake. I really love the spin that From the Fence Post put on a board book titled“ I Love My Daddy Because …” which she bought on Amazon for under $ 7. She matched the photos with the text of the book to make a really special and unique gift.
