Homemade Father's Day Gifts that He'll Really Want

I love a homemade gift that comes from my child, any gift, but to be fair, some are easier to keep and more practical than others. For Father's day this year, I really wanted to find something that my kids and I could make that my husband would really be able to use or keep. Here are some ideas that I came up with. Now, I just have to decide which one to make!



Father's Day Questionnaire  

Although this will be funnier with younger kids, you could edit the questions and get something really heartfelt from older children.

A Car Wash Kit

If your daddy is the kind to really take care of his car, the beginning of the summer is a great time to help him stock up on all of his needs.

Coupons
 

This link will get you to a book for coupons, but you can find several on Pinterest of google if you would like another design. Depending on the ages of your kids, you could make coupons for any other following or come up with your own unique ideas:

Free car wash
Clean my room with no complaints
Relax while I get drinks and snacks all evening
Gather and take out the trash
Uninterrupted sports game or TV show
Uninterrupted nap
Mow the lawn
Breakfast In Bed
Back Rub
Full Control of the remote

*I know these are things many kids do anyway, but the point of the coupon is to be cute and make the child want to do it because it is a gift.

Photo Blocks
 
I saw the brown blocks first and loved them, but had trouble getting to the tutorial so added a link with the white blocks. This is a personalized gift that would look great in Dad's office.
