Shadow box frames keep memories of special days alive forever. Think of a special day you and your father shared... memorialize that with souvenirs, photos, and special elements of the day. In the example above, the couple commemorated their daughter's birth by framing Father and Daughter's first photo, the ultrasound picture, her first hat, and hospital ribbon.

Cooking for Dad is a sweet idea! What's even nicer is bottling up all that BBQ sauce you used in creating the meal! Simply fill a jar with the sauce, add a basting brush, a gift tag. It will be a special keepsake from a memorable dinner!

For the golf enthusiast in the family, we found this cute cupcake idea! To decorate, add a thin layer of the icing of your choice. Cover the icing with green sprinkles for the green. A toothpick with triangular scrapbook paper can serve as a flag. The golf ball can be created with a dot of icing or any round candy. To create the sand, use a food processor to crush a graham cracker. These materials are just suggestions....Get creative!

A twist on the traditional tool set... for the Dad who travels, why not make a Travel kit? Tire pressure gauges, swiss army knife, flash light, pencil, and road maps will make the perfect addition to the vehicle!

Give Dad the gift that keeps on giving... a little elbow grease! Steel pails can be found at virtually any feed store! Hit up a local automotive store for the products. We recommend car wash, sponges, Armor All, wax, and an Absorber to dry it all up! Get creative and make a hang tag for the pail... or take it one step further and see idea #4 for creative product labels.

Instead of using traditional ribbon to wrap that wallet or money clip, think of using a bow tie to wrap Dad's gift! Bow ties fit around many small gifts. Functional and pretty!

Everyone loves a deal... especially Daddy! Give him a coupon booklet filled with unbelievable deals: 100 percent off a lawn mowing, car washing, delicious breakfast, and more! Your imagination is the limit!

Dad's belts a disorganized mess? Make a handsome belt rack for his collection! To add the cup hooks (found at any hardware store) to the wood belt, you will need to drill holes with the appropriate-sized bit. (If you try doing this without drilling, you run the risk of the wood rod splitting) Space all holes evenly, about 2 inches apart. If the screws of the hooks are too long, snip off ends with wire cutters before screwing them in.

Ties... what father hasn't gotten one? Whoever said that tie needed to go straight from the store to the gift box anyways? Try something a little more personal this Father's Day... Custom Embroidery! Choose the typeface, choose the placement, choose the initial(s) and have the tie embroidered. This one of a kind gift is sure to be cherished by Dad for years to come!
Hope these ideas help you create a memorable occasion for the special guy in your life.
