Let’s be honest with each other for a moment. Father’s really do get the short end of the stick when it comes to gifts….especially on their one day of the year. Just taking a scroll through the options for Mother’s Day gifts versus Father’s Day gifts really tells all. This year it doesn’t have to be that way. Not only can you make Dad’s gift on his special day but you can make him one he won’t secretly grimace at and wonder what you were thinking. And if you are asking yourself why can’t you just go out and buy him another golf shirt or have Shutterfly turn yet another family photo into a 1000 piece puzzle the answer is because Dad deserves more. Trust me, he will be just as delighted with something made by the hands he helped create as his better half does on Mother’s Day.
Below you will find over 15 amazing handmade gifts any Dad is guaranteed to love, whether it’s for the Father who is always down to hang out around the campfire or the Dad who has grown a pretty impressive beard. No matter what you choose (or how many) go just as crazy with packaging as you would for any of your friends. Dad’s like a great first impression too.
