Father's Day Fun!

Celebrating Dad on Father's Day may sometimes be tricky when it comes to gift-giving. If Dad doesn't golf, doesn't grill or doesn't have a "traditional" hobby, you may be coming up short with what to give him this year!

Here are some fabulous DIY ideas with the kids in mind that will make Dad feel as special as he truly is!

Art from the Heart

Who doesn't love art? And when it comes from your very own kids, is there even a question? Whether you choose to do this scrappy self-portrait or watercolor silhouette, Dad gets an original masterpiece! As much as I love photography, I also couldn't help but love the "D-A-D" photo triptych. What a wonderful way to capture your child or children at any age.

Details for Dad's Desk

Whether Dad works at an office, or has one at home, you cannot go wrong with any of these personalized touches to add to his space: the note cube, coasters or pot are great for kids to design at any age.

Presentation is Everything

No matter the gift, you can equally personalize the presentation! Try your hand at these adorable paper airplane cards or have the kids make their very own wrapping paper.

I'm quite confident Dad's going to be the first one to fly his paper airplane card across the room ... after all, aren't Dads the biggest kids of all?

Mad About Gadabout

The first time I laid eyes on these divine note cards from Gadabout, I immediately fell in love. Each design can be personalized with either a monogram or full name, and are sold in sets of 25. These whimsical, charming and chic designs, each penned by the ever-talented Hanna Brooks Nation,  continue to speak volumes to yours truly:

"Out and About"

"Panache" (Delightfully Dishy's absolute favorite)

"Creole"

"Sitting Pretty"

"LBD"

I must admit, the mere description of the paper is what sent this lover of stationery to my knees:

"Note cards measure 5 x 7, and are weighted at 130lb. Envelopes fold to a square flap and are weighted at 100lb. Flat printed and vellum finished, cards and envelopes are crisp and clean to the touch. Each set is carefully tucked into a clear snap pouch, printed with the company’s signature orange. Perfect for notes on the go or from your desk at home."

Talk about a gift not only for the recipient ... but also for the sender! I am firmly convinced these Gadabout note cards are what make handwritten notes an art!
