For Fathers Day this year, the Number 1 Free Father’s Day Gift Every Dad Craves that you can get your father or that you can help your children give their father is not a bought gift. It isn’t even a home, hand made gift. Although I recommend getting a fathers day gift, (we are getting/making my husband more than one), I’m going to share a little secret with you today. I’m going to share what every father want’s for Father’s Day. This quite possibly might be his favorite gift ever, and guess what? It’s free!
Number 1 Free Father’s Day Gift Every Dad Craves
I think one of the best gifts you could help your children give their father is appreciation.
We are exceedingly blessed to have my husband. Don’t get me wrong, he has his flaws like all men do. But that doesn’t and shouldn’t detract from all the area’s he is amazing because of. Specifically, and on topic, he’s one of the most long suffering, patient fathers I know. He provides for them, teaches the kids important life lessons, takes time to explain things to them, loves them, get’s up in the night with them if they are crying (if he hears them, lol).
For Fathers Day this year I’m helping each one of the children (that are old enough) do two things to show their daddy appreciation. Number one, I’m having them think of one thing they can do for their father. Some idea’s that I personally know my husband would feel loved by are as follows;
- to have the kids fold his laundry
- for the kids to tidy the garage for him
- for the kids and I to make him his favorite foods (he usually cooks on the weekends)
- an essential oil foot or back massage
- for help with his lunches for a week
Secondly, I’m going to have the kids think of one thing they appreciate and are grateful for that their father does, and on Fathers Day this year I’m going to have them tell him what that is. They can write it in a card they;ve created too, but it’s so special to hear words of praise, so I want them to speak the words to their daddy as well.
In addition to this I’m going to do the same. What are some of the area’s your children’s father excels in? How about in addition to the regular Father’s Day gift this year, if you find some ways to help the kids show their daddy appreciation for the things he does as a father, and watch him light up when he see’s what he’s worth to you all?

I love this list. Thank you for sharing.
Very true because most dads like me only like simple stuff. Personally, I want a whole day doing nothing but my favorite hobbies at home.
This is such a sweet idea and reminds me so much of my own father. This is definitely what he wants!
Thank you for the feedback, Brittany!
Oh yes, I completely agree! It is very important that Dad’s feel appreciated by their children and significant other!!
Yes!
My kiddos’ dad would enjoy the foot massage but I’m not sure my kids are up to that task. I do know he enjoys food, so the kids would be on board making him a meal.
Haha, same here on the foot massage, nobody chose that! It’s okay, I don’t mind as long as I get to use essential oils 😀
Awesome ideas!! simple but awesome
Thank you!
All good ideas! Sometimes the simple things mean the most.
So true!!
These are some fun ideas! He could def use some help cleaning up the garage!
That seems to be a favorite idea across the board, Amber! 😀
I love this idea. Memories are the best gift anyway!
Absolutely!
We love making homemade cards for Father’s Day. It’s sentimental and a great way to create memories from that particular year/age.
Homemade cards are always so sweet!
My little isn’t big enough to do these butthey are def things I tend to do weekly. What a good list though
That is amazing you do these weekly! Kudos!
Having the kids think of “one thing” is such a good way of focusing their intentions.
It worked so well! Some of the children I thought might struggle a bit but they didn’t.
I love this idea! It’s so thoughtful and the memories will outlast any tie. 😀
Yes, I think they will too!
My husband thrives on appreciation and also just loves spending time with the kids. Now if can just get them not to bicker around him for a day!
Wouldn’t that be nice, lol!?!
So sweet. He will love the thoughtfulness and appreciation and all the love that surrounds him in such a special way. Praise is love.
Absolutely!! Thank you for your thoughts!!
Look at that adorable baby! What a great list of gift ideas that any dad would really enjoy!
Thank you, Patricia!
Oh these are fantastic ideas! I know my dad would much rather have me clean up the garage than get another tie.
So true! Actions always speak loudest!
My husband would love for them to fold and put away their laundry too! 🙂
I love your ideas.
Thank you!
What an awesome post!! I need to refer back to this 😉
