We all want to show our dads that we care on Father’s Day. Many people panic and run straight for ties, socks, or random Amazon finds. There are many ways to show dad how much you care without overspending. Sometimes the best gifts might not cost anything and be the most meaningful!

Here are 20 ways to show dad how much you appreciate him this Father's Day:

Get fishing licenses for both of you and go fishing

College mascot-branded duct tape for the sports fan or handyman

Take in a minor league baseball game

Detail his car with a vinyl cleaner (Armor All) and a vacuum

Take a trip to the driving range together

Dust and sort his toolbox – don’t forget to label the wrenches and sockets

Tackle the mowing, raking, or other yard work

Personalized coffee mug – write on a blank mug with Sharpies, then bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes

Build your own BBQ rub or sauce using dad’s favorite flavors

Give the grill a thorough cleaning

Clean and organize the shed or garage – it’s probably been on his to-do list all year

Watch some of his favorite movies on Netflix

Pick up a few cuts of meat and ask him to teach you how to grill them

Offer him a “tech tutorial” on how to better use a device he already owns

Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity together – working with him to improve your community

Find a local historical site and arrange a walking tour

Build something with him – like a birdhouse or a spice rack

Pack a picnic lunch and head to a local park

Just spend time with him doing the things he likes to do

Put a new spin on the old necktie cliché – buy an old necktie at a thrift store, do a web search for “DIY Necktie Eyeglass case” and follow the instructions to make this unique gift. Buy a pair of sunglasses to put inside before you give it to him.
