What Are Some Of The Most Thoughtful Gifts You Can Give To Your Dad

Hello!

Let's talk about DAD. Father's Day is approaching so the focus is all about him and what do we get him for a gift. First off, there are so many kinds of Dads and you should think about his personality when thinking about his gift.

I lost my Dad when I was 15 years old, making Father's Day bittersweet for me. Now that I am older and think about who he was and what kind of gift I would give him if he were still alive, the options are endless. Everyone loved my Dad. He was a fun, thoughtful, and caring guy. He was even a clown for the Shriner's organization. I say this, because I would either go the "fun" route of disguising his gift to make him laugh, or go the "thoughtful" way and make him a personalized gift that reflects his interests.

Let's focus on the thoughtful gift today. When it comes to thoughtful gifts for Dads, it's important to consider their interests, hobbies, and preferences. Here are some ideas for meaningful and thoughtful gifts:

Personalized Photo Album: Create a beautiful photo album filled with cherished memories and moments spent together. You can include handwritten notes and captions to make it extra special.
Custom Engraved Watch: Gift your dad a stylish timepiece with a personalized engraving on the back. It's a timeless gift that he can cherish and wear every day.
Handwritten Letter or Poem: Take the time to write a heartfelt letter or a poem expressing your love, gratitude, and admiration for your dad. It's a sentimental gift that he can keep and treasure forever.
Experience or Adventure: Plan a special outing or adventure tailored to your dad's interests. It could be tickets to a sports game, a hiking trip, a cooking class, or any activity that he enjoys.
DIY Gift: Create a handmade gift that showcases your creativity and thoughtfulness. It could be a hand-knit scarf, a wooden cutting board, or a personalized piece of artwork.
Book or Journal: If your dad loves to read or write, consider gifting him a book by his favorite author or a journal where he can jot down his thoughts, goals, or memories.
Subscription Box: Sign your dad up for a subscription box that aligns with his interests, such as a monthly coffee or tea sampler, a gourmet snack box, or a book club subscription.
Personalized Grilling Set: If your dad enjoys cooking or grilling, gift him a customized grilling set with his name or initials engraved on the utensils or a monogrammed apron.
Music or Audio Gifts: If your dad is a music lover, consider gifting him a vinyl record of his favorite album, a Bluetooth speaker, or a set of high-quality headphones.
Gift of Time: Sometimes the most precious gift you can give is spending quality time with your dad. Plan a day together doing activities he enjoys, having meaningful conversations, or simply relaxing and bonding.

I LOVE all of these gift ideas. THINKING about the person you are giving a gift to is literally the core behind Disguise The Surprise. Disguise The Surprise is a set of dividers that slide together creating sections for your gifts in a shirt box. This is a perfect way to package your Father's Day gift. You know your Dad and what he likes. This gives you the power to curate a thoughtful gift tailored to his specific interests. Take the suggestions above and create a gift box with the items. Put a watch, book, journal, music gift card, etc. in one section and fill the remaining sections with more gifts that tie in with the theme. Write a note or poem and lay it in a section, or on top of the gifts before closing the box. If you are giving him an experience or gift of time, create a reveal box. Include items relating to the experience/trip or activity with a note informing him of the details. The presentation reflects the whole gift and tells a story all in one box. The Disguise The Surprise dividers offer you an easy way to curate these kinds of boxes. Here are some examples:

Whatever Dad's interests are, create a themed box with items that speak to him. Maybe he's a sports fan, a grill master, a runner, a book lover, a fisherman, a hiker...anything! Purchase items relating to the subject and lay them in sections using the dividers. When Dad lifts the lid and sees all of these items nicely laid out in one glance, it is sure to make an immediate impression. This looks much nicer than piling all of your items in a gift bag. If you need to mail your gift, packaging this way is a great option, for the dividers hold your items in place. Watch a video on how to assemble this golf-themed box below.

If you are giving Dad an experience or adventure, don't just stick a note or certificate in an envelope. Lay the tickets or trip information in a section and put additional items that relate to the trip or the activity that you will do together. The images below are from a customer who assembled three boxes all relating to a St. Louis Blues hockey game. Use your imagination and have some fun. If the certificate or flyer is larger, you can lay it on top of the gifts before closing the lid.

These are just a few examples of gift boxes you can make for Dad on Father's Day. Here is a link to a previous blog post that has more examples.

Remember, the most thoughtful gifts are those that reflect your Dad's personality and interests, and show that you've put genuine thought and consideration into choosing something meaningful for him.
