A Peek at the Fun: Dad deserves to be spoiled for Father’s Day but sometimes finding that perfect gift is hard.  If you are looking for some creative Father’s Day gifts this year, look no further.  I have buckets and buckets of ideas so you can spoil dad this year!

Father’s Day is such an important day because it gives us the chance to celebrate the men in our lives.  So often they are the ones to get down on the floor and wrestle with the kids or throw them on their shoulders and head out for an adventure.  But then they sing them to sleep, read them stories and kiss boo-boos, too.

Dads, husbands, uncles, grandpas–all of them are so important to our lives and our children’s lives.

That being said, finding the perfect way to show them how much they are loved is sometimes easier said than done.

This year, give the men what they want in this creative “buckets of fun” themed Father’s Day gift.

I have so many fun ideas on this one.  All I have to do is walk into Target (and ahem…I do that often) and my mind just explodes with ideas-especially in the card section.

Seriously, I love to just wander the aisles searching for ways to bring all of their fun stuff to my blog or to gifts that I’m putting together for friends and family.

And don’t even get me started about what happened when I saw their card selection over in the greeting card section. I loved it and were super inspired to put together these creative Father’s Day gifts.  (Find the Target nearest you here.)

So let’s get started with all of the fun ideas for these creative Father’s Day gifts!

Creative Father’s Day Gifts:

What I really love about this Father’s Day gift idea is how versatile it is.  Whatever your dad loves, just include it in your bucket and your gift will be a hit! (I’ve got a bunch of ideas to get you started below, but here’s a peek into a couple of our buckets.)

Baseball Themed Father’s Day Gift:

I started out with a fun baseball themed bucket for dad.  Here’s a look at what I put in it:

Other things you could include would be tickets to a baseball game, a drink or other treats, or any other baseball gear he needs or wants.

But, do you see that card? The one sticking out of the mitt? Bet you didn’t even realize it was a card! How fun is it?

A personalized note to Dad in a fun card like this will be very meaningful to him (and makes the gift even more fun)!

Golf Themed Gift Basket:

Here’s another peek at a fun gift bucket idea for Dad (or for any of the men in your life).

Fill a bucket full of golf balls, tees, a hat, a water bottle, a golf glove, a gift card to golf and a super fun card from Target:

Printable Father’s Day Gift Tags:

I have made things even simpler for you by providing a bunch of different options for tags to attach to your gift, all with the punny “You are Buckets of Fun” phrase on them.

Just right click and save it, open in a program like Word or Pages on your computer, then size how you want, and print.

Or I have a page all ready for you to print with several tags that are different sizes on it.

What to Get Dad for Father’s Day-

More Fun Ideas for Gift “Buckets”-

There were so many fun Papyrus cards at Target that would inspire great bucket gifts, it was hard to choose just one…so I decided to include some of my favorites so you can see how adorable and fun they are and create a bucket gift for your men that’s perfect for them!

Pop one of these cards into a bucket filled with the same theme and it’s a perfect gift!

Be sure to check out the Target App for a Cartwheel offer on Father’s Day cards between 5/27-6/17.

Master of the Grill–

This “Master of the Grill” card is perfect for the grill-loving dad.  Your bucket could include all things needed for the grill master to perfect his grilling like spatulas, an apron, BBQ sauce or rubs, or paper plates and utensils.

Tool Inspired Father’s Day Gift–

Is your dad a handyman?  If so, this card is the one you want, simply filling your bucket with anything a handyman might want.  A fun twist with this gift could be making a toolbox the “bucket” and loading it with tools, tape measure, or any tools he needs or wants.

Game Loving Gift for Dad-

Does your dad love games?  If so, this card along with a bucket full of games is perfect.  Include some treats, his favorite drink, and any games your dad will love.

Relaxing Gift For Dad:

This was a favorite of mine because who doesn’t want to relax!?  And you can really customize this to fit his needs by filling this one with any of the things that your man likes to relax, whether that’s a favorite drink or snacks or a book or movie, a hammock, outdoor equipment, or anything else you can think of.

I LOVED these Papyrus greeting cards for Dad.  I kept looking at more and more that were so cute!

This year for Father’s Day, don’t forget to spoil all the men in your life–those who have made a difference for you or for your kids. They probably should get spoiled too with a fun bucket and card.

Who else could you celebrate with a fun Father’s Day gift this year?

I hope you have a blast celebrating the men in your life this year and putting together these fun bucket gifts from Target.

Have FUN with these creative Father’s Day gifts!

When you think of superheroes do you think of exploding buildings, evil villains, and men in tight pants?

Or do you think of the guy that tucks your little ones in at night, plays catch with the kids outside and takes your little girl to her first Daddy Daughter Dance?

While I love the traditional superheroes and all that goes with them, I really love the superheroes under my own roof…my husbands and the father of my kiddos.

Got a Superdad of your own? This Father’s Day Superhero Gift Basket is a perfect gift idea to tell Dad how great you think he is, plus it’s SO fun!

Superhero stuff is so easy to find right now! You can fill a bucket up with all things Superman so easily and he will love it! Such a great Father’s Day Superhero Gift idea!

Becoming a dad for the first time is such an amazing, life changing experience and being able to celebrate Father’s Day for the first time is just fun!  I want to give all of those first time dads a major shout out with this “First Time” gift idea.

You guys know I like to do my gifts with a little bit of punny, and this Father’s Day gift idea is no different.  Wishing those first “time” dads a Happy Father’s Day with a new watch is my idea of perfection.  If the new dad in your life would love a new watch, now is the time to make it happen.

Father’s Day Gift for New Dad:

Isn’t this such a fun idea?  It’s as simple as picking out the watch dad will love and adding this punny tag!

Men get a bad rap for being hard to shop for, but I think they aren’t such a mystery.  A watch will make the perfect gift because you can customize it perfectly to the man you are shopping for.  With so many styles and price points you can’t lose.

If you want to go the extra mile, getting the watch engraved would be a sweet touch.

I have the tag all ready for you to print.

You can either right click and save it to your computer, then open in a program like Word or Pages, size how you want and print.

Or here’s a PDF with several of them on it that you can just print.

Shopping for our Dads or our husbands or Father’s in Law for Father’s Day is so hard! You can only buy so many ties or pairs of socks before that gets totally boring (ok, it was probably boring to start with) but men can be so hard to shop for.

I like to think outside the box when it comes to giving gifts to the Dads in our life and its fun to come up with a DIY gift basket idea for the guys in our life that are filled with things I think they will love.

That’s why I love this POP themed gift basket. My husband loves to drink pop and eat popcorn. Throw those in a basket then we can fill it with any other treats that are pop themed and I’ve got a fun gift for Dad!

Plus, how fun is it to shop for all the Pop things! There are so many fun options.

The tag says Of All the Things that POP We Think Our Pop’s the TOP!

Here’s a peek at what’s in there:

DIY Father’s Day Gift Basket:

This one is pretty easy to put together and pretty self-explanatory. You can put anything in this that has the POP theme going on. Here’s a list of ideas:

• Popcorn
• Pop Tarts

Do you know who loves Father’s Day even more than the fathers?  The kiddos!  Children love to be part of the celebration and especially when it come to their dads.  This is exactly why I love easy Father’s Day gifts like this one.  It’s so simple and thoughtful, dad is sure to love it.

Father’s Day Gifts from Kids:

This couldn’t be simpler to do and will ensure a gift that dad will keep forever.  Handprint gifts are popular because they capture time letting us hold on to a moment when our children aren’t grown.  Adding the handprints to a meaningful book about fathers gives a special gift that dad and kids can enjoy together.

This Father’s Day gift is quick and simple, let’s get started.

Step 1:

Start with the perfect book you know dad will love.  There are so many wonderful books about how important our fathers are to us, you simply need to pick your favorite.  I have a couple of my favorites listed for you here.

Amazon– Affiliate Links

• What Dad’s Can’t Do
• Just Me and My Dad
• You are my I Love You
• My Dad
• I Love My Daddy
• Dad Can Do Anything
• I Love You Daddy

Step 2-

Using any color acrylic paint and a paint brush (I used a sponge tip paint brush), paint your child’s hand.  Make sure the hand is completely covered.

Place the painted hand flat on the desired page in the book.  The back of the book is usually the best place to do this because it has blank pages.

Step 3- Write the child’s name by their handprint.  Make sure to include their age or the date so you can always remember when you captured this moment in time.

Step 4- Have your children write notes to dad letting him know how much he is loved.  Glue them in the book, making sure they are secure.

Dad’s gift is done!  This also makes a fun gift for grandpa as well.

Have FUN giving simple Father’s Day gifts!!

10 Must Have Tools-Great Gifts for Men:

This Post Contains Affiliate Links:

An Impact Driver is a must have for anyone doing common household repairs!  It’s light weight, easy to use, has a lot of power, and won’t strip out your screws.  It’s useful in hanging pictures, blinds, home repairs, you will literally use this for any project you have!  This one has 4 speeds so you can control the amount of power (or torque) that’s needed for the job.  This would make a perfect gift for the men in your life!

Impact Driver 4 Speed:

The only difference with this Impact Driver is that it doesn’t have the 4 speeds.

Impact Driver-Without 4 Speeds:

A ratchet wrench gives you the ability to keep turning the ratchet without removing it from the bolt.  It is particularly handy when working in a tight space.  This set gives you 5 different sizes, so you will have the perfect tool for your needs.  This is also helpful with car repairs.

5pc Metric Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set:

I know how handy screw drivers are, but this set is awesome because it has every size you will need. Including different lengths of handles so you will be able to fit in any spot you need.  If your man doesn’t have a set of these, now is the time to get him one.

Screw Driver Tool Set:

Chisels aren’t something you may think of as a must have tool, but my hubby uses them all of the time. They are good for any area of wood you need to carve.  Great for pine wood derby cars, door casings, hinges, trim work…so many projects.  This is a hidden treasure and on the list of must have tools for men!

Stanley Chisel Set:

When looking for a good plier set, look for rubber grips.  These will make it more comfortable to use, and gives you a better grip for those hard jobs.

Plier Set:

You may think all hammers are created equal…not true.  This hammer is a great all around hammer to have.  It is well balanced which is important when you are swinging it.  The rubber handle will last longer than a wood handle, and will absorb the impact when it hits.

Estwing Hammer:

A definite must have tool!  I know jobs aren’t only happening at ground level, sometimes we need to be tall.  This ladder is perfect because it has an adjustable height, extends from 6-12 feet with a push of a button, it’s light weight, and well built.

Little Giant Ladder:

Really great for making sure if you are going to do a job, it’s done nice and straight.  This particular level is small and light weight so it can go anywhere.  It’s a simple tool but makes your job so much easier.  Great gift idea!

Level:

Did you know that Craftsman tools have a lifetime warranty?  If ever it breaks, they will replace it at no cost.  This is one of the reasons Craftsman is a good brand to go with.  This adjustable wrench set is a must have tool in any tool box because they are always needed.  They work for any size bolt, and can be adjusted.

Adjustable Wrench:

This is a bigger purchase but a great option to round out your tools.  This can be used with several different attachments such as a micro pinner, finish nailer, framing nailer, tire pressure inflator, and a blower.  An air compressor allows you to go quicker because it gives you power and speed, a great time saver.

Air Compressor:

Have fun picking the right tools!

Anyway, all I’m saying is, socks make a fun gift and are perfect easy Father’s Day gifts. So throw a fun tag on some socks and you are good to go!
