Be it the lamest Dad jokes or the most wonderful piece of advice, Dads always have a unique way of backing us up every time, when we are going through hardships in life. Through his tireless work and relentless dedication, he serves as a foundation for us to dream ambitiously and achieve a brighter future.
A father’s role in a child's life is unmatched, from the first steps to the first success, a father guides and protects us in every aspect of life. A father is someone you look up to, no matter how tall you grow. Now it's your turn to pay him back and give him the appreciation he deserves by making his day special in the following ways:
Craft a Greeting Card: A tangible token of your appreciation
When it comes to expressing gratitude and appreciation, crafting a greeting card is undoubtedly the most common way. However, what makes it unique and special is not the method, but the message you choose to convey through it. While crafting a greeting card, one should make sure that it conveys the feeling in your heart. Even simple words can make your soul connect to the emotions, and the relationship of the heart is so pure that it doesn’t even need words to understand the emotions. When it comes to understanding emotions, a father’s heart can even understand scribbles on paper by their 5-year-old.
Whip up his all-time favourite dish
Another way to express your appreciation towards him is to tickle his taste buds with his absolute favourite go-to dish that he cannot resist. Now, if your father is an absolute foodie, and you can cook a decent meal, then this method will sit well for you to showcase your thankfulness towards him.
Curate a memorable day
Starting with a cosy breakfast-in-bed, followed by an outing to his favourite place and crowning it up with a little family dinner or party in the evening, can be a perfect description of a refreshing, emotional and day full of memories and emotions with a lot of enjoyment and fun.
Assemble a gallery of memories
With a record consisting of all his achievements, fun moments, adventures, and all of his memories summarised and organised in a photo album, whether digitally or physically, would prove to be a memorable gift for your father. It would make him revisit all the golden days and years, consisting of so many precious memories that he has created with you and his loved ones.
Put together a ‘Dad ’ Favourite’ Playlist
If your dad is a music lover and finds joy in every note, a musical playlist consisting of his all-time favourite songs would make his soul dance with joy. Music is something that makes one mind refreshed and ears happy, hence, music that he can listen while working for long hours, while driving and when his mood is down bad, this musical playlist crafted by you, would calm his mind, make him happy and the most important of all, remind him of you and your efforts.
Compile a custom collection of his legendary ‘Dad-Jokes’
Dads are known for their unfunny and unusual sense of humour. ‘Jokes’, which might fail to make us laugh, in his eyes are a thoughtful step that attempts to see our smiles even for a moment. So, the compilation of these jokes into a cute little booklet would much later become a medium for remembering these moments and having a good laugh, when, somewhere in the future, you feel low or just want to revisit the past.
Craft “Open When…” Letters
Write down little heartfelt notes for his different moods and different occasions. For example, ‘Open when you need a laugh’, consisting of a joke or a funny moment, or ‘Open when you feel low’, for this, you can write an uplifting message in the letter that lifts them, and many more. You can make a jar full of these small notes and letters for different occasions and his various moods.
Playing a significant role in the lives of children, fathers sometimes forget to enjoy and live their own lives. That's why it becomes crucial for us to spend quality time and create unforgettable memories with them, not just Father’s Day, but every day with them should be special.
