Father's Day

Father's Day is just around the corner, it is a special day to recognise and celebrate the role fathers play in our life. It is our chance to show our fathers how much their love and various parental sacrifices over the years have meant to us.

Ways to Celebrate Fathers Day:
• You can use Fathers Day to acknowledge all the important male role models in your life - for instance stepfathers, uncles, and grandfathers.
• Father’s Day is a great chance to get the whole family together - share a coffee, a meal, or a hot drink, and catch up on the family gossip. (see the recipes below for some great ideas)
• Make a special sweet tooth basket for Dad with some of his favourite treats. Why not cook up some fudge or bake a cake. (see the recipes below for some great ideas)
• You could make a home cooked meal for your Dad: a breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
• Spend the day doing something recreational that Dad loves - fishing, watching sport, playing golf, walking, biking, etc.

Special gifts are a lovely way to show your appreciation:
• Take a plain photo frame and decorate it with nuts, bolts and nails from Dads workshop (make sure to use bits an pieces that he won't be needing anytime soon). Use a hot glue gun to secure on all your bits and pieces, and then coat it in a clear varnish to finish off. Finish it off by adding a photo of yourself on the inside.
• Download all of Dads favourite songs onto a CD, and create a great album cover telling him he’s the best Dad in the world. Every time he listens to the CD, he’ll think of you.
• Greeting Cards give you the opportunity to pass on a personal message of appreciation. You can either buy a Father’s Day Card with just the right saying, add your own message, or create a card from scratch.
