Unusual Father’s Day Gifts and Card ideas for every Dad

Are you looking for an unusual Father’s day card and gift? I don’t know about you but I am fed up with seeing Father’s day gift suggestions online of just socks and work tools! Not all dads are the same and I have been on a mission to find a more unusual and personal gift and card for Father’s Day this year.

Let’s start with Father’s day card ideas.

If I am stuck on card ideas, I always opt for a funny Father’s Day card. For many people, it is very difficult to find the words they want to say on a Father’s Day card. There are lots of different father figures out there, after all, Dad, Pops, Grandad, Step Dad’s, Uncles, friends who are like fathers…the list goes on. So by getting a simple, funny Father’s day card you have the option to write something personal inside.

With my Father’s Day card range I can personalise them to suit you. I can add Dad, Step Dad, Mum’s boyfriend - you name it! I think this is important as many types of Father figures are out there - even Mums who are two parents in one! 

What to write in a Father’s Day card?

Of course, you can just add a name to a Father’s Day card - Dad, Step Dad, Mum’s Boyfriend, Father in Law but sometimes you want to write a bit more. Here are some great suggestions for what to write inside a Father’s Day card for different father figures.

Father’s Day cards for Step Dad’s and Mum’s Boyfriend  

“Best Bonus Dad Ever!”

“You make our family better”

“Happy Father’s Day from the kid you inherited when you got with my Mum”

“Of all of Mum’s boyfriends, you’re up there”

Father’s Day cards for Mums

“Thanks for being two parents in one”

Father’s Day cards from pets

“Happy Father’s Day from your fur-baby”

“Dad you’re PAWSOME”

“From your favourite child”

Or say it simply this Father’s Day with a personalised photo card. A picture can say a thousand words after all. 

These personalised Father’s Day cards are hand embroidered. I made one for my Dad last Father’s Day and the photo said all I needed it to say.

 Unusual Father’s Day gifts and what to buy for the Dad who has everything? 

Not all Dads are the same; some Dads don’t like DIY, sports, alcohol or socks! I suggest something unusual and personal for a Father’s day gift, something your Father wouldn’t even think of. A piece of art or a personalised print is a great present idea for Father’s Day. I make these very cute personalised pet portraits, which are great gifts for those dads obsessed with their fur-babies.

 A father’s day gift where you can spend time together?

Or how about a Father’s day gift that you could do together? A day out with your Dad? Somewhere you could make a special memory? or do you already have a photo of a special memory with your Dad? I can enhance the photo with one of my embroidered photos for Father's Day.

A really lovely Father's day idea for those with older parents is buying your father a photo album, add a few photos and then leave a note saying you would like to fill the rest of the album up together. Fill it with special memories that you and your Father share. You can arrange meet-ups throughout the year with your Dad to complete the album.

Father’s Day gifts and craft ideas from children

There are a ton of ideas for this over on Pinterest and I have set up a board HERE to help your children get crafty this Father’s Day. Buy him a model kit or even some lego. These are great Father’s day gift ideas from children as they will benefit too. 

I hope all these unusual and creative Father’s Day cards and gift ideas have helped you on your quest to buy for the man who has everything and wants nothing! Don't forget I have a range of personalised cards and gifts for Father's Day. I have made a collection for you here.
