Create One-of-a-Kind Father’s Day Gifts Your Dad Will Love

There’s no hero greater than a dad. And while you typically wait until Father’s Day to wish your dad ‘Happy Father’s Day’, you can show him love and care every day. Dads work hard to provide the best life for us and they deserve recognition from us, especially on Father’s Day. In case you’re wondering how you can do that, we have some ideas for some meaningful Father’s Day gifts. A family dinner is great, but it’s not something he can keep with him all the time. Sometimes, a tangible gift will keep him company when you and your siblings are away. After all, sometimes it doesn’t hurt to let him know that you and your family love him. Humans need to feel appreciated, belonged, and valued. So, getting gifts for dad is something the whole family should get involved in. From the gift itself to the surprise, it will mean so much to your dad and remind him that he is so loved. Here are some Father’s Day gifts you can design and create with Photobook Singapore.

1. A Precious Father’s Day Photobook

When it comes to touching his heart, imagine him receiving a Father’s Day photobook that tells the story of his life through photos and Father’s Day quotes. We’re almost crying happy tears just thinking about it, just imagine how touched he would feel. How about putting together a little Father’s Day celebration? Draw inspiration from movies he loves or his favourite sports team, or better yet, pick a phrase that he says all the time and turn it into a themed party. Either way, a photobook showcasing the highs of his life will create a deeper sense of appreciation for you and your family. Plus, we know it’s the thought that counts and that is really what any good father would want when celebrating Father’s Day.

2. Thoughtful Father’s Day Greeting Cards

If you’re not the kind who’s great at speeches, this gift will work perfectly for your dad. Some may say a Father’s Day card is outdated but we beg to differ, especially a personalised one — featuring your very own words, photos, and quotes — the perfect greeting card. Gifts like that come from the heart and that’s what really matters. A Father’s Day card gives you space to pour your heart out while thanking him for being such a great dad and how appreciative you are of him. If you’re stumped on what to write in your card, try looking up some Father’s Day wishes for inspiration. Depending on what mood you hope to put your dad in, there are tons of ideas to spark your creativity. You could choose something funny and quirky or something heartfelt and inspiring. It’s the intention and Father’s Day wishes behind the card that will make it the mother of all Father’s Day gifts. Here are Father’s Day greeting card ideas to get you started.

3. Creative Wall Art for Father’s Day

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words and we agree, but most importantly, we think your dad will too. Pick out a photo he loves and turn it into art he can admire in his home office. If he’s more of a words man, choose his favourite poem or quote that’ll inspire him whenever he looks at it. At Photobook Singapore, there’s a wide selection of wall art we think your dad will love. You could check out our Canvas Prints, which are lightweight and UV-printed that offer a flawless finish with vivid colours. They’re also available in a variety of sizes to suit multiple styles. If your dad prefers something more classic, Framed Prints will be right up his alley. Made from New Zealand pine wood, you can select from a variety of sizes and colours to showcase photos he loves. They instantly add a sense of warmth to a space and your heart. The fine selection of wall art doesn’t end there, there’s also Photo Tiles, Metal Prints, Origami Tiles, and Photo Prints to choose from! He’ll be spoilt for choice when you decide to get him these lovely Father’s Day gifts.

4. Functional Work Essentials for Dad

It’s common for dads to be busy at work. Remind him to think of you and your family by gifting practical office desk essentials designed with photos and words he loves. Didn’t think those were customisable? Think again. Decorate his desk with a Premium Desktop Plaque or Desktop Plaque that says ‘World’s Best Dad’, ‘Best Dad Ever’, or ‘#1 Dad in the World’ in his favourite colour or choose a family photo taken from your last holiday together — he’ll be fuelled with motivation and hope even on the dullest of days. Each plaque comes with a detachable strut and has a smooth gloss for a sleek finish on the front. Now, if your dad is a more practical kinda guy, perhaps a one-of-a-kind notebook would suit him best. Design the cover wishing him ‘Happy Father’s Day’ or decorate it with creative patterns that will brighten his day. If you think about it, all of the gifts we’re suggesting for dad are mostly keepsakes, but these work essentials are pretty much things he’ll use daily, so we think they’re the perfect gifts for dads.

5. Handy Father’s Day Kitchen Essentials

Whether your dad is a master chef or mischief in the kitchen, there’s always some Father’s Day gifts you could get him that’s related to food and the kitchen.

You could prepare some creative and personalised menu cards and placemats that set the mood for a fun-filled Father’s Day for dad. If you’re not up for cooking, we recommend getting your dad a Father’s Day beer mug or an enamel mug. They’re incredibly cool as a gift and they’ll make your dad feel like the #1 dad he is. You could even add his name on it or include his photo on the mug. He’ll feel like a VIP as he enjoys his favourite beer. If your dad prefers a rustic design, putting your own design on the enamel mug would be a great idea. It works well in the kitchen as well as in the woods on a hiking trip. Since Father’s Day is all about him, you could pair these mugs with other heartfelt Father’s Day gifts such as coasters, aprons, shot glasses, a coffee mug with lid, and photo magnets.
