Fun & Easy Father’s Day Ideas to Do at Home
Father’s Day is all about celebrating the dads, grandpas, and special father figures who make life so wonderful. While gifts are always lovely, the best memories often come from the little moments shared together. If you’re looking for ways to make this Father’s Day extra special at home, here are some fun, family-friendly ideas — plus a few thoughtful extras to treasure forever.
1. Make Breakfast in Bed Together
Start Dad’s day with a surprise breakfast in bed. Let the kids help whisk eggs, butter toast, or pour his coffee. Even if it gets a little messy, the joy is in the effort (and Dad will love the thought behind it).
💡 Pair it with a personalised mug so every coffee he sips feels like a little reminder of the day.
2. DIY Dad Coupons
Create homemade “Dad Coupons” he can redeem anytime — like a car wash, a big hug, or choosing the family movie. You can print our [free coupon set] (link) or make your own with paper, crayons, and imagination.
3. Bake a Treat Together
Whip up something sweet with the kids. A simple chocolate mug cake is easy enough for little hands and ready in just minutes. Add ice cream or sprinkles for extra fun!
💡 Serve it up on one of our engraved keepsake boards for a thoughtful touch he can use year after year.
4. Family Game Night
Dust off the board games, play cards, or invent your own silly challenges. Make it “Dad’s choice” to pick the games, and keep snacks flowing to turn it into a real celebration.
5. Memory Jar
Grab a jar and slips of paper, then have everyone write down their favourite memories with Dad or reasons they love him. Present it on Father’s Day morning for a gift he can treasure forever.
6. Backyard (or Living Room) Picnic
Lay out a picnic blanket, pack up Dad’s favourite nibbles, and enjoy lunch together outdoors — or inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Bonus points if the kids create a “menu” for Dad to choose from.
7. Make a Father’s Day Playlist
Have each family member pick songs that remind them of Dad — it could be a tune he loves, something funny, or just a family favourite. Play it throughout the day for a personalised soundtrack.
8. Storytime with Dad
End the day with books, but let Dad choose his favourite childhood story or something new to read together. It’s a sweet, quiet way to wind down after a day full of fun.
The Little Things Matter Most
Father’s Day doesn’t need to be complicated. Whether it’s a homemade cake, a heartfelt note, or a day filled with laughter, it’s the thought and love behind it that Dad will remember most. And if you’d like to add a little something extra, our collection of personalised Father’s Day gifts is designed to help you create keepsakes he’ll cherish.
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Fauve + Co 💙
