How else can you celebrate the coming Father’s Day?
Father’s Day is a great excuse to do something a little extra for Dad—and it doesn’t have to be all about gifts. Why not plan a day around what he loves most? Take him to a brewery tour if he enjoys craft beer. If your dad is a crafty guy, build a model set or put together a puzzle with him! Whether it’s golfing, fishing, or firing up the grill, make it a day all about him.
If the whole family’s getting involved, you can plan something that brings everyone together. A picnic at the park with his favourite homemade dishes. Or a family game night with classics like Monopoly, poker, can turn into memories you all look back on. You can also create something personal such as a custom playlist to go with his new headphones; simple gestures can mean so much.
However you celebrate, the goal’s simple: make Dad feel loved and appreciated.
