Are you tired of giving your dad the same old tie or socks for Father's Day? It's time to shake things up and make this year's celebration extra special! Here are 7 unique and fun ways to celebrate Father's Day that will leave your dad feeling appreciated and loved.

1. Plan a BBQ get together

Instead of taking your dad out to a fancy restaurant, why not plan a BBQ get together in your backyard? Get the grill going, whip up some delicious burgers and hot dogs, and enjoy a fun-filled day of cooking and eating together. He’ll love to show off his grill slash cooking skills with your family as the king of the grill. Your dad will appreciate the effort you put into planning a special meal just for him and of course spending time with you and the whole family, like the good old days.

2. Create a Customized Gift Basket

Put together a customized gift basket filled with all of your dad's favorite things. Whether he loves golf, fishing, or gardening, tailor the gift basket to his hobbies and interests. Maybe he is more of a tech kind of man, art fella or a sweet tooth. Add in some snacks, a funny card, and a heartfelt note to show your dad how much you care. The simple thought of a cool dad joke will make him happy. Remember, all dads in general are very chill about gifts and if you get him what he usually enjoys talking about or collecting t-shirts you are on the right track. 

3. Organize a Movie Marathon

Is your dad a movie fan? Plan a movie marathon featuring all of his favorite films. Pop some popcorn, grab some snacks, and settle in for a cozy day of watching movies together. Make or buy pizza, chicken wings or order from his favorite restaurant. Get the latest tv shows from any streaming platform or better yet, take him to the movies and book a private party, it’s not that expensive. They play whatever you like. You can even throw in a few of your dad's childhood favorites for a trip down memory lane. The point is to have a good time.

4. Take a Father-Son/Daughter Adventure

Plan a fun and adventurous day out with your dad. Hiking, biking, or exploring a new city, spending quality time together doing something exciting will create lasting memories. Don't forget to capture the moments with plenty of selfies and photos to look back on. Is your dad an active or a homie dad? If he is the active-live your life to the fullest, any adrenaline could be your thing. Motorcycle rides, rock climbing, parachutes, and much more. If he is the homie dad, try painting together that olde fence, giving a go to the belated DIY project he has been thinking about or just follow along for a day with him as when you’re a child, interested in his stuff. Promise, you’ll have a wonderful day with your father!

5. Host a Virtual Game Night

If you can't be with your dad in person, why not host a virtual game night? Set up a video call, choose some fun games to play online, and enjoy a night of laughter and friendly competition. It's a great way to bond with your dad, even if you're miles apart. There are plenty of apps and softwares to take advantage of, free to payed ones. There’s one for a virtual party, literally a party, you buy drinks and everything else. There is a software for rooms within the call, one room watches a movie, the other one plays pool, and a game of basketball too. Just don’t bet too much money!

6. Get him an art pice

May be all the activities above aren’t your thing so gift your dad an art piece this father’s day. We have original paintings at a good price, a varied collection of posters to cheer him up and make him feel happier. A long list of graphic t-shirts for him to wear and be proud of you and your gift. No worries, he’ll love it and your wallet too!

7. Cook dinner with him and the grandchildren

Cooking can be a very easy and inexpensive gift for your dad. You don’t have to be Chef Ramsey or any for that matter, though you do need a recipe to follow and average well behaved kids to follow instructions. He will spend some quality time with you and his grandchildren while enjoying the family, plus he will be very proud when he takes a bite of the delicious meal he cooked with you. Let him be a thrill in the kitchen.

So there you have it, 7 fun and creative ways to celebrate Father's Day this year. Show your dad how much he means to you with a thoughtful gift and unique celebration that he'll never forget!

Happy Father’s Day!
