We will be celebrating Fathers Day here in Australia this Sunday. Sadly with both my Father-In-Law and Grandfather passing away this year, and my Dad currently travelling overseas, it will be a smaller celebration this year. The kids and I will be lavishing our attention on my dear husband who is an awesome Dad.
Finding gifts for Dad’s can be tricky – especially if you want to avoid perennial favourites like socks and jocks, ties, etc. I am hoping inspiration will strike before the teens and I hit the shops after school. (Gift ideas gratefully received!). I am sure Sarah will be baking up some special treats over the weekend.
Here are some of the Fathers Day gifts we have made in recent years:
Bin Bag for the Car |
Golf Towel |
Coasters |
Framed Family Photo |
Home Baked Cookies |
Candy Box |

Dear Lisa, I can´t wait to see what Sarah is preparing for Sunday!!! She always cooks the most delicious sweeties!!!!
Father´s Day is celebratede in August here in Brasil. Well, in my opinion it is so hard to be creative when choosing a gift to men…shirts are on the top of my list…:o)
Of course you will come up with the most creative gift!!!
Much love to you!!! Bela

We celebrate Father’s Day in June. It’s a tradition for me to make my Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes for breakfast. My DH’s fave breakfast. Happy Father’s Day to your DH!

Hope you found the perfect present! I picked up a Sourdough cookbook a few weeks ago and the kids have bought a CD. I have planned a special Fathers Day dinner. Hope you have a lovely day.
