With Fathers' day just around the corner, why not show him just how much you care by investing a little time to make his day extra special. Below are some ideas to celebrate daddy’s everywhere.
1. Put a CD together of your dads favourite music
Buy some blank CD’s and make a drive time compilation album of all his old favourites. You can design your own CD cover and then print it out.
2. Wash his car
Cleaning the car needn’t clean out your purse. Have a look at this homemade car cleaning page for a cheap alternative to expensive cleaning products. A squeaky clean car inside and out is enough to bring a smile to any man’s face. So round up the kids and get your rubber gloves on and make his day.
3. Make a money box for his dream fund
We all have dreams and why should your ‘dad’ be any different. Sometimes we dismiss our dreams as unachievable due to a number of reasons, lack of finances usually being the main one. So why not kick start his dream fund and make him a money box to get him started or open up an account that you put a little into each month, even £5 a month will get him on his way to ticking of one of his dreams, be it a power tool or a big ticket item.
4. Write him a thank you letter
Many years ago I wrote my mum, dad and two brothers a letter explaining to them just how much they meant to me. They cherished that letter and it brought tears to their eyes. Sometimes it is hard to say the words you feel to those you love so spending time to write your a gratitude letter will be something he can keep forever and read over and over again.
5. Make a coupon book
Why not make a homemade coupon book entitling your ‘dad’ to a free hug, car wash, breakfast in bed, a lie in etc. You can let him redeem 2 or 3 a week until he runs out. Everyone loves a hug and they don’t cost a penny!
