4 Steps to Creating Your Father’s Day Gift Basket:
1. Choose a Theme for Father’s Day
The best way to choose a theme for Father’s Day is to narrow it down to Dad’s favorite hobbies. If he spends every weekend watching his favorite sports team, then you might curate a gift with team memorabilia or even tickets to see a game. If he loves to spend time in his workshop, maybe you can show off your own carpentry skills by making a wooden crate to give his gifts in! Whatever theme you choose, the father-figure in your life is sure to appreciate the thoughtful gesture.
2. Select Personalized Gifts for Dad
We will get into our best ideas for Father’s Day Gift Baskets below but remember to focus on the things that you know your Dad will love. Some dads might be excited to get a gift card to their favorite restaurant, while others might prefer just to have a day off from diaper duty. Whatever you decide to give as a gift, make sure it reflects the father’s love that he shares with his children.
3. Add Decorative Filler and Arrange
There are many filler options, such as biodegradable confetti filler or eco-friendly wood wool.
4. Make Dad’s Day Awesome
Make sure Dad knows he’s the best dad ever when you present him with his Father’s Day Gift Basket filled to the brim with thoughtful gifts, heartfelt hand-written notes, and all of your love.
Now that we’ve covered our steps to creating the best curated gift boxes, let’s explore some ideas for Father’s Day Gift Baskets:

Use the captions to tell the complete story and the collage function to piece together action shots. Ideas for the book might be: My Dad: The Superhero (where Dad comes in to save the day at the end) or Family Cook Off (where you all pretend to be contestants on a show, with Dad as the judge.) This idea is fantastic because it’s a gift that Dad can read again and again to the kids and the whole family gets to be the star of the show!!
