Fun Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Father’s Day Rosette
Looking for a homemade Father’s Day gift idea the kids can create themselves? This easy Father’s Day rosette is a lovely way to let Dad (and everyone else) know he’s the best. It’s a fun craft project for children of all ages.
You can make it as colourful as you like and decorate it in lots of different ways. Aside from the glue, the rosette can be made almost entirely from recycled materials you already have around the house.
“A Present For My Dad” Book
“A Present for My Dad” by Pooter is a gift book given from a child to their dad — a gift from a little person to a big person.
It tells the story of the journey a child goes on while deciding what present to get Dad, sharing all the funny, imaginative ideas that come from a child’s point of view. In the end, they decide on a pair of colourful socks instead.
Each book comes wrapped, with a gift tag, a children’s story, and a gorgeous pair of socks included. There’s also a “A Present for My Grandpa” version in the same series.
I Love My Dad
This is a lovely, easy Father’s Day gift idea for the kids. Print off our FREE “I Love My Dad” downloadable and get the kids to fill it in. Their answers will be personal and meaningful to Dad, and are sure to bring a smile to his face.
Get the kids to make their own homemade Father’s Day card and pop the sheet inside. It’s also worth keeping a copy from year to year, so you can look back and see how the answers (and the handwriting!) change as the kids grow. Expect some very cute answers.
#4. Dark Amber Bracelet
This amber bracelet would make a lovely Father’s Day gift for Dad or Grandad. It’s made from genuine Baltic amber sourced from the Baltic region, prized for its rich colour and natural beauty.
#5. Printable Father’s Day Labels

How cute are these printable Father’s Day labels in chalkboard style from Lia Griffith? There are plenty of labels to choose from — beer, wine, sweets, BBQ king, and homemade sauces or pickles.
The set also comes with round 2-inch jar lid labels, coaster labels, and a cute hanging tag. So get the kids baking or making some homemade goodies and add these labels for the perfect finishing touch.
#6. Personalised “Daddy & Me” Book
This charming, bespoke “Daddy & Me” book is a wonderful way to show love for dads and daddies.
From favourite hobbies to what makes your dad, well, your dad, each book can be personalised with all his favourite things. You can choose how many children to include and much more, plus add a personalised message on the inside front cover — a lovely keepsake for years to come.
#7. Handprint Father’s Day Card
We love this easy-to-make handprint Father’s Day card from Sassy Dealz, perfect for smaller kids — and the message is perfect too: “It takes a big heart to hold a small hand.”
You will need:
- Paper
- Glue
- A marker or pen
- The kids’ hands!
Dad will love this one. There are also other lovely homemade card options, including this monkey fingerprint card.
#8. Hot Towel Shave
Treat Dad to a relaxing hot towel shave at your local barber. You can usually book a voucher for him to use at a time that suits him.
If Dad is sporting a beard, a trim would make a lovely alternative treat.
#9. Father’s Day Goodie Bags
If you and the kids are looking for a fun way to wrap Dad’s present, these Father’s Day goodie bags from Little Family Fun are ideal, and guaranteed to bring a smile to his face!
They’re easy to make and can be filled with whatever treats Dad loves. All you’ll need:
- Brown paper bags
- Glue
- Scissors
- Scrapbook paper
- Clear tape
- Some goodies to fill it with!
#10. Dad Rocks Paperweight
We love the simplicity of this Dad Rocks paperweight — what dad wouldn’t love a paperweight created by his own kids?
Choose a rock heavy enough to hold down paper and give it a good clean. Paint it with acrylic paint, letting the kids be as creative as they like, then add a thin layer of glitter glue. Once dry, write “Dad Rocks” on it and finish with an acrylic sealer spray for a keepsake that will last.
