How can I make every day father's day?

Updated on July 11, 2011

What are his favorite things?

Make a list of all his favorite things: photography, family time, fishing, golf, his car, tv, sporting events, rum, steak, etc. After you have made the list, prioritize the list. You can do this with other family members. Once you have prioritized the list, then you can take the number one and number two and maybe number three items and make lists of related ways you can show your love and appreciation.

For example:

Priority 1

His Car

Wash The Car

Vacuum, Clean and Treat Interior

Wax

Have it Detailed

Have it Serviced

Priority 2

Golf

Clean Golf Clubs

Clean & Whiten Shoes

Go to a Driving Range

Buy a new Putter or Club

Go for a Round of Golf

Priority 3

Baseball

Dust and Polish Memorabilia

Organize and Display Keepsakes

Watch a Game w/ Him

Get Tickets for a Game




Personalize your Relationship

Evey dad wants to be REMEMBERED. That is the most important thing.  I look at the little things my son has given me like his hand print and marvel at how time has passed.  I suspect that a lot of other fathers will feel the same way.  My son calls me or IM's me every day.  I cherish that connection.

It is the little things that mean the most to me. Those things are generally inexpensive but take some effort. If my son were to show up and work in the yard for a couple of hours, I would be impressed. If he cleaned my car, I would be grateful. If he mowed my lawn and had me sit in a lawn chair sipping beer, I'd be thrilled.

Mostly I would want to spend the day with him. Just having a laugh and laid back time. That would be ideal for me.

Judge your situation and your Dad and supply him with attention that you know he will like.

Remember all the things your dad has done for You!

Build a memory book  using special events in your lifetime when you depended on your dad.  Good examples are when  you learned to ride a bike, entered a soap box derby, your first day of school, throwing and catching, batting, feeling safe and gaining the courage to do something scary like skiiing, or diving.   The book can be completely hand made with colorful paper or made in a scrap book using drawings, or photos. 

A keepsake like this will mean the world to your dad and will give you and your dad many hours of enjoyment from time to time and you can add to it at different times during the year.  

Guaranteed to be a treasured gift.


What are the 4 best words a dad can hear?

There are a lot of candidates for this one! You might have guessed quite a few things:

I love you dad.

You are the best.

You totally rock dad.

I miss you dad.

I am moving out. (Okay, this might be the runner up).

All of these are wonderful things that every dad wants to hear and sometimes they don't hear it enough.

Pick a phrase that you are going to say to your dad this Father's Day and make a theme for him.

Oh Yeah! I forgot. The BEST 4 words that will make any dad happy are:

I GOT A JOB!
