Easy Ideas to Make Dad Glad this Father's Day

Looking for some simple ideas to make this Father's Day a great one for your husband, father or grandfather? Well, here are some tips, directly from a father's mouth!

I asked my husband to name off the Top 10 things he wanted to happen on Father's Day, and here is what he said!:



Father's Day Agenda 
  1. Give Dad lots of back scratches (this is an easy one for young children - give them a hair brush to use! Ooo, feels good!)
  2. Rub Dad's back (again, have kids help!)
  3. Read up on what teams will be playing and what games Dad will want to watch. Have time scheduled for uninterrupted game watching time (or TV/Movie watching for the Dad who is not into sports). 
  4. Have lots of snack foods available for Dad to enjoy during TV watching time. Examples: Chips and salsa, potato chips and dip, wings, crackers and cheese, little BBQ franks, etc.
  5. Space out attention and gifts! FYI: apparently, Dad wants to be recognized all day. Rather than giving Dad all his cards and pictures from the kids in the morning, space them out throughout the day.
  6. Let him sleep in!! If you have little ones who routinely jump on his head like an alarm, try to head them off or talk to them the night before.
  7. Give Dad the day off! Wash the car, take out the trash, help with yard work. Whatever Dad's daily responsibilities normally are, let him take the day off.
  8. Spend time with him, and ask him what he would like to do.
  9. Make his favorite meal or take him to his favorite restaurant.
  10. End the Day with big hugs from everyone!
