10 Ways to Show Appreciation to Your Dad on Father's Day

Father's Day is around the corner, and it is the perfect opportunity to show your father how much you care for him and how much you love him. And in honour of Father's Day, we're showing you 10 ways you can show appreciation to your dad; the man who stands beside you so that you never fall, and who puts your needs before his.

Here is a list of 10 ways you can show appreciation to your dad on Father's Day:

Thank him for his guidance

Your dad has always been there for you ever since you were born. Thank him for his guidance, thank him for all that he has done for you, and thank him for being your father. Letting your dad know how much you appreciate him all these years is the best gift he needs. 

Write him a letter

Phone calls and texts are nice, handshakes and hugs bring warmth to the heart, but there is nothing quite like writing your dad a letter and tell him how much you appreciate his leadership in your life.

Hand-made gift card

Handmade items are always much appreciated and special because it is the only one in the world. Your dad will be surprised when you show your creativity and art skills this father's day to make this gift card. 

Ask him about his childhood

Express your interest in your dad's life, and ask him to tell you about his childhood over a cup of tea. Maybe even ask him to share with you about his school life. If you show you care about his life, then he'll know you're grateful he's around.

Share your stories with him

You can tell him how much he means to you by continuing to share your stories with him, and by reminding him how much his investment in you has contributed to your life. Have a nice heart to heart talk with him.

Be interested in his life

Ask your father about his job, find out what he's up to these days, skim a couple of the magazines he reads, and make an investment in what your dad values. 

Listen to him

Sometimes, it's not even about the stories, but rather just taking the time to listen to your dad. Ask what he is thinking, what's on his mind, what is bothering him. This will show him that you're grateful for the times he listened to you.

Play a game with him

Drop the television remote, the computer, and your mobile phone, and go for the old fashion way of having fun and play a game with your dad! Maybe a game of Scrabble where the two of you try to come out with words, Sequence, Jenga, chess, or you can still actually play video games together. 

Cook for him

"The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach", they say. So this Father’s Day, cook something nice for your dad to show that you love and appreciate him.

Record a video of him for future generations

Make sure to let his grandchildren or even great-grandchildren know how special he is. Record a video of him doing something he loves or interview him now and show it to your kids and grandkids when you're his age.
