    How will you top last year’s Father’s Day gift? We have a few suggestions! With the help of our inspiring ideas and downloadable labels, make Dad feel special with a thoughtful gift you’ve never given.

What Can I Give Dad?

Screen-Printed Items
Consider making your dad something completely handmade and original. Using our screen-printing technique, add custom designs to a tie, t-shirt or nearly any sort of fabric. Monogram a bag, and Dad can use it for work, travel or even take it to the gym.

Around the World Gifts
Try framing a map of a location that has a special meaning to your dad—for instance, his home state or a favourite vacation spot. With an old map, it’s easy to create silhouettes of family members or cover a custom journal.

His Favourites, Personalized
Download and print our handy labels and paste them to all sorts of gifts! Package anything from candy to homegrown salsa in a jar, and add our labels as a distinguished touch. Try pasting a label to Dad’s favourite sauces, sodas or even on the front of a photo album.

A Gift Basket
Every dad has his “thing,” so if you can’t decide on just one gift, try an assortment of items that speak to his interests. View our slideshow to get ideas for the handy man, sports fan, nature dad, gadget guy and chef!

Tip: Must-have grilling tools make a great Father’s Day gift for the social dad who loves to toss on some burgers and host guests during warm weather.

Clever Packaging

  • think outside the box gifts - fathers day Wrapping Materials: Instead of wrapping paper, try using brown butcher paper, old maps, the pages of worn books or even newspaper. With a simple tea dying technique, you can give papers an antique finish that looks great when topped with accents.
  • Beyond the Ordinary Bow: Forego the usual bow and arrange a bow tie around your gift! If you cut a tie short, you can also tie it around gifts, packaging or a gift bag. As an alternative, you can always cut out the shape of a tie or bow tie from decorative scrapbook paper and apply it to your packaging.
  • A Heartfelt Gift Tag: As a finishing touch, top off your card with a meaningful statement—our heartfelt tag—by attaching it to the gift. Download and print the tag here.

Tip: For even more inspiration, reference our full array of creative packaging ideas.

The Finishing Touch
While gifts are much appreciated, a thoughtful card can truly mean the most. Download and print our premade design, then compose a heartfelt letter inside. To make Dad truly feel special, go beyond simply signing a name, and let him know how much he’s appreciated.
