Mike, I’m about to reveal all about what’s going to happen for you on Father’s Day this year, so if you wouldn’t mind not reading, that would be great!
I find men pretty hard to buy for at the best of times but June is a killer month for me what with Mike’s Birthday, swiftly followed by Father’s Day! Thankfully at this stage I think Father’s Day can be limited to acts of kindness and amusing little home made gifts (which is not the same as Mother’s Day of course!).
With Father’s Day a little over a week away, on 15th June, I’ve pulled together my favourite ideas (all gleaned from Pinterest and stored in my Father’s Day pinterest board) and basically what I plan to do on and for the 15th.
Father’s Day – 4 thrifty gift ideas
- Room Service – unless it’s juice that he wants, Reuben’s not going to be much use for this task but Gabriella will LOVE it; reading the card, helping me make breakfast and then all munching in bed! *Oh crumbs* You can get a free download room service door hanger, courtesy of 733blog.com, by clicking here!
- Daddy questionnaire – another thing I think Gabby will enjoy doing is filling out this questionnaire (a free printable from Kinzie’s Kreations). You could equally do it for your little one if they’re too young to write/talk!
- Breakfast-in-bed Father’s Day topper – To accompany the Room Service, we can make one of these toppers from Ruby Ju! Gabby can write it and Reuben colour it in. Although the only cocktail sticks I have are cocktail umbrellas – well, it might be raining…
- His favourite dinner – with it being a Sunday I can imagine Mike will want sunday dinner, but he also loves fresh fish dishes, so I’m thinking some of my amazing marinaded fish with extra chillies in a taco or wrap and a nice cold beer would go down very well! With Gabriella (not the beer) and me too…
So there you are, keeping it thrifty and simple. I have one other idea up my sleeve and I will share next week with Reuben’s help! It might even be a Vlog…
I love this. Fuss free, frugal Fathers Day.
I always go so overboard for things like this.
But sometimes, it’s so much nicer & so much more stress free to just take a step-back & do something simple but that’ll be way more appreciated 🙂

I love these ideas! Especially the breakfast in bed topper! I haven’t quite decided on what we’re going to do yet! xx
I love the questionnaire, I will have to fill it in on Oliver’s behalf but I’m sure he won’t mind!

Those are really cool. I love the breakfast topper (and the actual breakfast underneath) and the printables are fab #thelist
Fab ideas, I think younger children will much prefer getting involved to buying something 🙂 Thanks for hosting #TheList

I love these ideas! Father’s Day has turned into a bit of a spend fest in our house, maybe I need to stop that this year 😉 thanks for hosting x #thelist
Some great ideas there. I really need to get my thinking cap on for Fathers Day. 🙂 #TheList
Great tips. The breakfast in bed is definitely my favourite, although I’d probably eat it before my other half did! x
Love the room service idea. We have the same with my hubbys birthday the weekend after Fathers Day!! Expensive month! #thelist xx

Great ideas! I’m thinking of a dad themed picnic with all of his favourite foods and drink! He really doesn’t need any “things”.
