Make Dad Glad With Personalized Father’s Day Gifts

Father's Day gifts from Giftsin24

Colonial Card makes a beautiful Father’s Day gift.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18. How will you surprise and delight Dear Old Dad? He’s been around the block a few times and knows all your tricks: the novelty tie, the fishing-themed card, the white knee socks. These are tried and true, and to be honest, perhaps a little too tried…and tired. Maybe it’s time to branch out a little this year and consider these truly unique Father’s Day gifts. We’ve got some great ideas to take your gift from blah to ahhh-mazing.

Old “blah” idea: Socks. 

Father's Day gifts from Giftsin24Yes, we grant he probably does have holes in his socks and may be in need of new ones…but won’t he be surprised if you give him a gift for his heart, rather than his feet?

New amazing idea: Father’s Day Picture Frame

Give your dad a very special personalized picture frame using his favorite photograph. This is what makes it unique: you can include up to three lines of personalization in one of six lettering styles. Beautifully crafted from solid wood. Hang on a wall or display on a table or shelf. Photo size is 4″ x 6″.

Old “blah” idea: Beer cozy. 

Father's Day gifts from Giftsin24Ahhh. The beer cozy. It’s the ultimate easy choice in Father’s Day gifts. But these get grimy pretty quickly. Truly…how long will a new one last before it finds its way to the trash?

New amazing idea: Altamira Pint Glass

Customize this 16 ounce pint glass with one of 10 exclusive monograms, including Classic, Circle and Whitlock. Get dad two or three so he can kick back with friends. Clear glass. Dishwasher safe.

Old “blah”  idea: Baseball cap.

Yeah, he has twelve of these hanging in his closet already.

Personalized wall signs from Giftsin24New amazing idea: Morelia Wall Sign.

Perfect for a man cave or home entertainment room, this wall sign offers one of line of text and a choice of lettering style. Hang it with the included 4 wall-safe adhesive mounting squares or display it on a shelf with attachable supports. Laser cut from .25 inch MDF board in white, black or neutral.

Old “blah” idea: Tie.

More and more workplaces are going business casual. If he only wears ties at weddings and church, it wouldn’t hurt to let him pick out his own.

Masculine stationery from Giftsin24New amazing idea: One-Line Note.

Everyone needs his own stationery. After all, thank you notes are must-do, basic forms of etiquette. He can also use these for quick notes to college-age children or a birthday card for his mom. Simple but powerful, the One-Line Note features Dad’s name crisply embossed in an all-caps font, surrounded by bullet points. It’s a classic design that’s the opposite of frilly and frou frou. The folded note is precision-crafted from double-thick paper in a choice of white or ivory. Comes with 50 Pinnacle pointed-flap envelopes. Opt for the embossed return address, hand-inserted envelope linings, border or 100% cotton paper to create special Father’s Day gifts.

Easy Father’s Day BBQ Ideas

Independence Foil Pressed Guest Towel is perfect for a Father's Day BBQ.

Independence Foil Pressed Guest Towel features many summertime motifs that are perfect for a Father’s Day BBQ.

Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday, June 21. Did you know that the first Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington? And that the holiday became an official U.S. holiday only in 1972? Put in this context, Father’s Day is a relatively recent tradition. Given its place in the calendar, squarely in summertime, it’s only natural that Father’s Day is often celebrated with a backyard BBQ. And that has us licking our lips in anticipation. Whether your dad loves ribs, steaks, brats or tofu burgers, here are some ideas to help you create an extra special Father’s Day BBQ.

Menu ideas

Cooking Light recipes for Father’s Day  We love this menu from Cooking Light magazine. Steak, jalepeno poppers, potatoes and grilled corn. What’s not to love?

Decor/Theme

Is Dad a sports fan? Use his favorite sports or racing team’s colors to be the basis for the floral centerpiece and table cloth. Or maybe he’s a devoted alum of his college or high school; use those colors. For both these ideas, you can use simple white plates and clear glasses, and let the sports or school colors be the accents.

Napkins

Expression Foil Pressed Napkin  Proudly display your special message on the Expression Napkins. Names, dates, special occasions or sentiments stand out when pressed in one of 15 gorgeous foil colors on your choice of 27 high quality, three-ply papers.

Father’s Day Gift Idea

Notable Monogram Oversized Note Our Notable Monogram Note offers a choice of many exclusive monograms. Raised ink. Folded note. Double-thick paper. Choice of white or ivory paper. Comes with 50 Pinnacle pointed-flap envelopes. Opt for the border, 100% cotton paper, hand-inserted lining or return address to create a luxurious gift.

3 Reasons Our Envelopes are Different

Envelopes are beautifully color-matched to stationery

We make all our envelopes in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Aurora, IL

Longtime Giftsin24 customers know our products shine above the competition’s. One reason is our color-matched, perfectly fitted, beautifully crafted envelopes. That’s because we make all our envelopes right here in our state-of-the art manufacturing plant in Aurora, IL. We have total control of the process, from start to finish. Plus, our sole focus is on creating a perfect product and delighting you, our customer.

Some other companies don’t make their envelopes. Telltale signs include…

  • mismatched stationery and envelope papers.  Ivory stationery and white envelopes? Never from us !
  • envelope proportions don’t match stationery. For example, there might be 1/2 inch extra space on the sides and 1 inch of extra space on the top and bottom. Yuck!
  • too much room in the envelope. For example, the stationery rattles around inside the envelope–there’s no need for that !

Giftsin24 envelopes are always perfect

Here’s how we do it:

1. We order our stationery paper and envelope paper from the same mill. That ensures that all papers closely match in color. Plus, this mill creates high quality paper using the best sustainable practices. Check them out here: www.NeenahPaper.com

Giftsin24 offers beautifully crafted stationery with matching envelopes

Here’s Raphael zipping around on one of our three-wheel bikes to carry freshly made envelopes

2. Our expert envelope makers have been making envelopes for decades. They work within tiny tolerances to ensure that each of your envelopes is absolutely perfect. In addition, we don’t give our envelope makers quotas. If one doesn’t turn out, it goes into the recycle bin, and the crafts person starts with new paper.

3. We cut and fold our envelopes to our highest quality standards. Consequently, when you insert the matching stationery, it fits like a glove.  It’s all in the details !

Write Dad a Letter this Father’s Day

Write Dad a letter on Father's Day. Here are some tips and ideas.Write Dad a letter on Father’s Day to tell him how much he means to you.

No matter how old we get, our fathers are still our dads. We look to them for guidance and advice.  Sadly, I no longer have my own Dad (pictured here with The Nittany Lion at a Penn State game), but I have wonderful, touching and funny memories. He was an example of a modern-day dad at a time when it wasn’t the norm, and he was a role model for his family.

If you’re fortunate enough to still have him, write Dad to tell him how much he means to you. A hand-written letter, in simple and heartfelt words, will mean the world to him. More than any tool, tie or gadget, a letter will be treasured and saved. He can read it whenever he wants to be reminded of how much he’s loved.

Tips for Writing a Letter to Dad on Father’s Day

Here are a few ideas on what to write to Dad:

Tell him how much the time spent with him at a special event or outing meant to you: “Dad, remember that camping trip we took when I was twelve? We had such a great time!”

Remind him of something he taught you: “I’ll never forget the afternoon you taught me how to fish and it started storming while we were out on the lake.”

Share a personal reflection or humorous anecdote: “I still laugh every time I think about that time you ….. “!”

Let him know how a piece of advice he gave you impacted your life: “I don’t know what I would have done without your help during that time. It really made a difference. Thanks, Dad.”

If you have your own family now, share your thoughts about fatherhood and your Dad’s role in shaping your beliefs: “Thanks for showing me what being a dad is all about. You’ve always been a great example for me.”

Let your Dad know you’re proud of him. Tell him that you appreciate his love.  And remember:

“It’s admirable for a man to take his son fishing, but there is a special place in heaven for the father who takes his daughter shopping.” (John Sinor, San Diego Tribune newspaper columnist)
