Father's Day Gift Idea

I am always looking for a good Father's Day present. This year I thought I would buy a pre-done basket full of fun things to eat. Not only are they so expensive, most of the stuff is not things my husband would want to eat. So... I went to Walmart and bought my own stuff to fill the basket. Then I bought a plastic basket. My husband's was 5 dollars and Grandpa's was 1.50 on clearance. Then I came home and used my cricut and made vinyl lettering to personalize the basket. The superman dad label I found on-line. I stuffed the baskets full of nuts, candy, chocolates, popcorn, jerky, crackers, 1 soda, trail mix, chex mix, Oreos, and wheat thins. Now the Oreos and wheat thins I only gave to my husband. This is because my Dad passed away about 7 years ago. Every Father's Day since I was a little kid, I gave him Wheat thins, and my brother gave him Oreos. My husband doesn't even like Oreos, but they get bought and given as a remembrance to my Father. Anyway this was really fun to do and very simple.

Special Tie for Dad!

One of my favorite ideas for Father's day is to take an old tie (D.I. has tons) and stuff it with Dads favorite candy. Hot glue the bottom and add eyes and tongue to make a snake. It is really cute and dads love the candy inside and your child will love playing with the "snake" afterwards. You can even stuff it after the candy is gone for a toy.

King For The Day!

Two years ago we made my husband a King for the Day! Here

is the picture of how we made him happy and special. At the top you can see a floating crown that hung above him. We had edible flowers, Dads rootbeer chilled, we had loads of snacks, and He loved it. If you need other Father's day crafts or ideas http://www.familyfun.com/ has a whole section devoted to fathers.
