With Father’s Day celebrated on Sunday, 18 June, you may be wracking your brain to think of what to buy your dad. Your father may be the type of parent who is not incredibly open about what they want, with gift-giving, and buying your dad something he will actually love, more of a stressful endeavor than anything else. If you’re short on money and looking to make your father something to show how much you love him, we have the perfect tips for you. These gifts could work well for dads or anyone in your life whom you view as a father figure.

Present your father with a lovely DIY card where you describe what he means to you. This gift would work especially well if your budget is incredibly tight but you still want to ensure that your dad feels loved.

3. A touch of sentiment

Add all of your favourite family photos into a beautiful collage and incorporate some of his favourite treats therein – it does not have to be anything sweet. If your father loves biltong, or salty treats, feel free to add those instead. Make the gift your own. Remember that the goal is to show your dad, or father figure, how much you appreciate the role they play in your life.
