When Should I Start Planning a Father’s Day Gift From the Kids?

Father’s Day—the third Sunday of June where we all come together to celebrate our amazing dads and remind him how much we love him through gifts and kind gestures—but do dads really want gifts on Father’s Day?

If you are still looking for Father’s Day cards, you can find a fun and unique collection right here at Lumibop, and explore card ideas that will make you excited about every special occasion, whether it’s Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, birthday cards or her or him, or the kids, or anything else. 

Do Dads Really Want Gifts on Father’s Day? Here’s the Truth

Do dads really want gifts on Father’s Day, or is it a waste of money and time? While every dad is different, we think it’s safe to say that dads will always appreciate gifts on Father’s Day and other special occasions—because they’re people, too! 

Usually any old store-bought card will feel lacklustre for Father’s Day, but when you shop at Lumibop, our cards speak volumes. By getting a quality card from us and adding a personalised message to really make it your own, you can let our designs do the rest of the hard work for you, with pop-up features, music, lights, and more, to put a smile on dad’s face. 

It’s Not Always About the Gift—It’s About Being Thoughtful

While it isn’t always about the gift that you give, it’s still nice to get something that you think he is going to love. Gifts show thoughtfulness, and thoughtfulness shows that you care. It makes sense to want to get your dad a gift to let him know that he is loved, but remember that gifts can come in all shapes and sizes, and you don’t need to break the bank to get something that he is going to love. 

In fact, lots of fantastic gifts are free, or you can make them yourself! So, don’t confine yourself to the usual rules, and have some fun with it if you want to get or make dad a gift that really matters.

What Do Most Dads Appreciate More Than Anything?

The answer is simple: spending time with the people he loves. This could mean going somewhere and doing something on the special day to celebrate, or it could be staying home and watching his favourite film with him—quality time speaks volumes. 

With that being said, do dads really want gifts on Father’s Day, or do they really not care about it? We like to think that everyone will appreciate a gift or two, and your dad is no different. He might huff and puff about how unnecessary it is but deep down, you will know that he appreciates the sentiment behind it—and that’s what matters.

When a Simple Gesture Goes a Long Way

A simple gesture can go a long way on Father’s Day, and it can take lots of different forms. Just think about what your dad likes and what he would appreciate, and do one or more things on that list. From making him tea or coffee to giving him a Lumibop card to show how much you love him, there is no one way of showing your appreciation on Father’s Day.

Some example of simple gestures that go a long way on Father’s Day:

• Making him tea or coffee

• Doing a chore that he usually does

• Making him his favourite meals

• Spending quality time with him

• Giving him a Lumibop card
