It’s that time of year again – to celebrate the men in your life who have helped you get where you are today. This Father’s Day surprise them with a gesture that they will cherish forever. Here are a few unique ways to celebrate dad this year:

1. Enjoy a Board Game Tournament

For the man in your life that loves to play games, plan a board game tournament for the whole family! Head to your local used bookstore and pick up a few unique board games to start planning your event.

Start his day with a special card sharing the day’s events and treat your dad to a board game inspired breakfast, like chocolate chip pancakes shaped like dominos!

Also, don’t forget to have prizes ready for the winners and to stock the kitchen with dad’s favorite snacks.

2. Celebrate with a Themed Dinner Party

A home cooked meal is the perfect way to show appreciation to the one you love, especially if you are on a tight budget. Celebrate dad by planning a whole dinner around his favorite food.

If he loves tacos plan a Mexican feast with all the fixings, from guacamole to homemade salsa. Plus, don’t forget to top it off with a traditional dessert, like churros.

3. Give a Special Gift Basket

Who doesn’t love a basket filled with all of their favorite things? A gift basket is a simple, but thoughtful way to show thanks to your favorite man. Fill the basket with his favorite snacks along with some trinkets, and don’t forget to add some sweets, too!

Delysia Chocolatier’s Gentleman’s chocolate truffles would make the perfect addition! This decadent box of chocolates contains three unique truffle flavors; a cigar infused chocolate, a bittersweet dark chocolate, and a chocolate truffle blended with aged scotch.

If you’re feeling creative, try creating a homemade riddle or poem to explain why you included each item in the basket to add some sentimental value to your gift!

Even the smallest gesture can show your appreciation, so don’t feel like you have to go overboard. Just take the things that they love and think outside the box!
