The Greatest Gift He Actually Wants for Father's Day

Father’s Day is just around the corner and you want to make this year special. Are you celebrating with your dad or other important mentors and father figures in your life? Or maybe you want to make this year incredibly special for your spouse who is the best dad in the whole wide world. No matter who you’re celebrating with this year, you want to leave them with a full heart and a satisfied smirk. 

Every father — from grandpas to cat dads — wants to feel appreciated and admired. Their quirks make us smile — even those slightly annoying quirks you know you’ll miss one day. While presents bring momentary joy, your time may be the most precious gift you can give him this year.

We’ve compiled a list of creative and heartfelt Father’s Day ideas to make the day one that he’ll remember forever. Because at the end of the day, what he’ll enjoy the most is the memories and all the work you put into making him feel as special as he truly is. 

3 Father’s Day Ideas He’ll Remember Forever

What’s the most amazing present that you can gift your father this year? — Your time!

We can make a list of teaware and tea flavors that he’ll probably enjoy, too. But, you know that when it comes down to it, he isn’t going to remember unwrapping his new favorite teapot — but who knows, maybe he will! These teapots are amazing!

But we digress — What he’s going to remember are the people who surround him and the events of the day. Your time is the most precious gift you can give anyone, including Dad. Here are some Father’s Day ideas to help make the day extra special.

A Sunny Picnic With Dad

It’s the beginning of summer and you want to take advantage of that beautiful sunshine and the lively outdoors. Get your dad out of the house and surround him with a touch of nature by hosting a Father’s Day picnic! 

The great thing about picnics is that they can be as intimate or as boisterous as you choose. Invite the whole family, or take him out just the two of you, and enjoy some quality time together. Bring a blanket to throw down and sit on, or a collapsable chair for him to lounge in.

Choose a location that means something special to him or a place that’s a little more scenic — like the local rose garden or the park across the way with the gorgeous trees. 

If this is a group party, set up a table and have a potluck featuring all of Dad’s favorite treats. Refreshing iced tea is always a hit — maybe try a recipe infused with summer fruits or berries. And if it’s just the two of you consider packing chilled iced tea in a tea tumbler to keep it nice and cool. 

Cheese and meat plates are a fun and easy-to-carry option as are a few varieties of small finger sandwiches. A fantastic Father’s Day idea for a healthy dessert is frozen grapes — they travel well and are perfect little popsicles to keep Dad cool in the sun.

A Surprising Dinner with Dad

Maybe the outdoors isn’t his thing, or maybe he enjoys sitting at a table more than lounging on a picnic blanket. Bring the party inside with a dinner celebration — this Father’s Day idea has a bit of a twist!

We are all about tea around here — but we know that not all dads enjoy a hot pot of tea especially this time of year when it can be so warm. What might sound more appealing to Dad is a roast or a barbeque with an ice-cold beer. But how about a meal infused with different teas? — That’s a creative twist!

Tea flavors add a rich and complex flavor to all kinds of food. Did you know that you can use tea in a pot roast rub, or even in soup, dessert, and cocktails? Your imagination is the limit when it comes to adding this delicious secret ingredient to steaks and chocolate cakes. 

Is Dad a fan of bourbon or whiskey? Here’s a unique Father’s Day idea: infuse a bottle of his favorite alcohol with a complimentary tea and create a signature cocktail to serve that evening. Herbs and alcohol are always a delicious combination and it adds a personal touch to the Father’s Day festivities.

The most important takeaway is to make the evening all about him! What are his favorite dishes and flavors? Create a feast out of his favorite recipes and invite his favorite people over for a night of fun, laughs, and celebration. 

A Personal Day with Dad

This last Father’s Day idea may be the most powerful and intimate of the bunch. If your dad is up for it, it will be the most memorable for everyone involved. Consider having one-on-one time with Dad or only a handful of people who he is closest to. If the most precious thing you can give him is your time, the second best thing you can give him is a space to share his story.

Every person has a unique story bubbling inside them that they want to share with the people they love — and your dad has a story too. Your dad might not seem like the talkative type, but you might be pleasantly surprised to find out that he has a lot more to say — and stories that he wants to share — that you never knew about. A lot of the time, we get so busy that we never bother to ask.

Make this moment extra special and intimate by setting out some snacks or a meal full of small bites — you may even prepare a small afternoon tea for Dad. It doesn’t matter if you enjoy conversation over a pot of hot tea or a pitcher of iced tea. What matters the most is the time you spend together and the questions you ask Dad. Guide the conversation and let it ebb and flow naturally as you talk about whatever comes to mind.

What was his childhood like?

What were his parents like? 

Where did he grow up?

What did he like or dislike the most? 

Did he have a favorite pet? A favorite candy?

Connection is one of the most valuable gifts you can give Dad, and there is no better way to enjoy a side of tea than through conversation. Give him a platform to stand on, and permission to be completely and unabashedly himself. 

Dad knows you’re very busy, and that a lot of the time you are stuck in your own headspace and hard at work. You’ll put a smile on his face when you give him all of your attention. Create lasting memories that he’ll continue to cherish for so many more Father’s Days to come.
