Once you’ve found the perfect gift for dad, you may be wondering how you can make this Father’s Day extra special? 

Well, we’ve got some great ideas on how to bond with dad and create some fantastic memories that you can treasure forever, just follow our step by step guide to the perfect Father’s Day...

1. Gratitude
Whilst searching for a great gift for dad, people often overlook the essence of what Father’s Day is all about...gratitude. It’s easy to take dad for granted, but Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to apologise for all those silly arguments and misunderstandings and instead thank him for being a wonderful dad.

2. Give dad a day off
If you have a dad that never stops, why not give him a day off? Allow him to sit back and relax while you pitch in and take over his ‘to do list’ for the day; whether it’s washing the car, taking the dog for a walk or cutting the grass, he’ll be delighted to enjoy a well-deserved day off!

3. Make a List
Why not make his day by telling him exactly why he’s a fantastic dad! Make a list of all the things you love about your father or your favourite memories together – what a simple but original idea!

4. Play a Sport
Most of us women can’t stand watching football let alone playing it, but what a fun and unique way to show dad how much you care – it’s the last thing he’ll expect for fathers day! But if the thought of putting on joggers and trainers is almost bringing on a fever, you could always bring the games indoors with a round of cards or a game chess...

5. Learn a skill
What does dad do best? All fathers’ love to pass on their tricks of the trade. A great way to bond with dad is to get him to teach you a skill! Whether it’s changing a tire or finally learning the offside rule, (good luck with that girls) this is a great opportunity for some father-daughter bonding.

6. Go Camping
Everyone loves a good family day out, and what better way to spend time together than by bonding in the great outdoors. Learn how to light a fire and put up a tent - just don’t tell any ghost stories before heading to bed!

7. Be a lad
You could always try being a lad for the day. How about getting a case full of his favourite beers and renting out an action-packed movie, he’ll be so impressed!

8. Reminisce
Ask him about his childhood – how often do you sit down and discuss the good old days? Why not ask him about where he grew up or how he met your mother? You may even learn some juicy gossip!(Note, this information may come in handy one day!)

9. Action-packed day
How about something really daring for Father’s Day? Whether you’re going to treat him or join him we have some fabulous daredevil activities to get his adrenaline pumping, from the land to the air to the sea, there’s plenty of ways to impress him on fathers day, just take a look at our Experience Gift Ideas...

10. And if all else fails...
Just spend time with dad! The most important thing about father’s day is that you actually spend quality time together. Whether it’s bonding outdoors or relaxing indoors, most of us are often too busy to sit down as a family. Watch a movie or take the time to talk, whatever you do just remember to enjoy the day and be grateful for the father figure in your life, be it father, stepfather, grandfather, father-in-law, uncle or godfather...
