Happy Father’s Day, Grandad! Making it a Special One
Reminding our Grandads of the joy and wisdom we get from them is so special, especially on Father’s Day. They’ve always been there with big hugs, fun stories, and lots of laughs. Taking a day to honor them makes them feel special and loved, and it’s a great way to show how much we appreciate everything they do. Here are some fun DIY gift ideas to make this Father’s Day extra awesome for them!
DIY Gift Ideas
1. Custom Photo Frame: You can easily make a photo frame that Grandad will cherish forever. Find a plain wooden frame and decorate it with paint, small pebbles, or seashells for a beachy look. Insert a family photo or a picture of Grandad with the grandkids for that personal touch.
2. A “Book of Wisdom” Journal: This one is a fun project! Get a nice journal and fill it with Grandad’s sayings, advice, and stories he has shared over the years. This can be a collective family effort where everyone adds their own memories and notes.
3. Customized Mug: Grab some oil-based paint markers and a plain ceramic mug (you can find these at most craft stores). Let the kids draw pictures or write sweet messages and inside jokes on it. Once it’s designed, bake the mug in the oven (follow specific instructions for the paint markers you use) to set the design, making it a long-lasting keepsake Grandad can use every day.
4. Handmade Card: Nothing beats a card made with love. Grab some cardstock, markers, and maybe some glitter (if Grandad doesn’t mind a bit of sparkle) and get the kids involved. They can draw, write their favorite memories with Grandad, or even make a handprint on the card.
5. Garden Stones: Create beautiful garden stones that Grandad can place in his garden or walkway. You’ll need some quick-setting concrete, a mold (like an old cake pan), and decorations like pebbles, glass beads, or even handprints pushed into the surface. Personalize each stone with names, dates, or a favorite quote.
6. Homemade Beard Oil: If Grandad sports a beard, he’ll definitely appreciate some homemade beard oil. Mix together some carrier oil like jojoba or coconut oil with a few drops of his favorite essential oils. Bottle it in a nice jar, add a label, and it’s ready to go!
7. Knitted Scarf or Hat: If you’re handy with knitting needles, a warm scarf or a hat can be a great gift, especially if his birthday falls during the colder months. Choose a yarn in his favorite color and get knitting. It’s a cozy gift that he’ll surely appreciate.
8. Puzzle Piece Picture Frame: This is a sweet and easy project, especially if you have old puzzles that are missing pieces. Glue puzzle pieces around a simple picture frame, then paint them in one or several of Grandad’s favorite colors. Insert a photo of him with the grandkids for a sentimental touch.
9. Recipe Book: Collect some of Grandad’s favorite recipes, or recipes he’s known for, and create a custom recipe book. You can design and print the pages on your computer, then bind them together. Include photos and personal notes to make it even more special.
10. Personalized Key Holder: Craft a handy key holder for Grandad so he never has to worry about losing his keys. You can use a small wooden plank, some hooks, and paint or decoupage it with photos of the family. It’s both practical and meaningful.
