Father's Day is this Sunday. And a whole summer is before us. Bored of the doing the same old thing? Look no further. We've got a list of great ways to make Father's Day - or any day - more special.
What are your Father’s Day plans? Share with us and you could win a $100 gift card to your choice of either iTunes, Home Depot or REI!
Live in an area you don’t often explore? Visiting somewhere new for the holiday? Create a scavenger hunt with your family members by dividing into teams to complete fun tasks throughout the day. The list can include challenges like “shake hands with a statue” or “find three buildings that start with the letter W.” Make sure to take photos for proof! Before the hunt begins, place a gift for dad at the last stop. (Gift idea: framed map of his favorite city).
Recreate Dad's favorite restaurant meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Have the kids surprise him with breakfast in bed, enjoy lunch at home and then pack up the final meal to take to the beach, park, or other favorite spot. Call the restaurants to get helpful hints and techniques for each dish - they might even give you recipes! (Gift idea: high-tech grilling tools).
If you live in a rural area, take a family trip to the local lake to go fishing, or head to some local hiking trails for some exploring. At night, set up a campsite in the backyard to make s’mores - or melt marshmallows in your fireplace or on the stovetop! If you live in an urban area, take a weekend trip away or find a new park in your city to explore. (Gift idea: new hiking boots).
Does Dad just want to hang out on Father’s Day? Perfect- you can still make it special without leaving your home. Create a movie screening room with some pillows and a projector to enjoy dad’s all-time favorite movie (you know, the one he usually has to beg you to watch.) Pop some popcorn and warm up some hot chocolate to top off this perfectly cozy celebration. (Gift idea: iTunes gift card for new movies and TV shows.)

A lot of relaxation and napping.
We plan on having a nice and relaxing day!
I'm going to buy him a small gift and let him do what he wants. I find it that he likes his iwn time to do whatever he wants, making him do these huge events, he only does it for me, but he prefers to stay home and relax
The ultimate Father's Day for my husband would be a day of grilling, smoking, and BBQ all at once!
Spending the day at our cottage by the lake...just relaxing!
I have a really special surprise planned for the best husband / father that I know :) He is going to cry when I give it to him...
Planning to have a family picnic.
I will be camping with my dad (and the rest of the family) like we do every Father's Day. Only this year, we're surprising Dad with a new smoker! :)
I plan to go to my brother's home - he is the father of four beautiful children. #SheSpeaksDad, #SheSpeaks and #entry
celebrate with family
BBQ and relax
swimming
BBQ during the day and reggae concert in the evening
My husband and grandsons will be golfing in the morning. Then we'll be BBQing in the afternoon.
Both my Dad and my Father-in-law have passed away but we'll be taking my husband and father of my kids out to dinner and he'll get some nice presents.
