Father’s day is Sunday, and if you have a child or five, you
might have been a tad too busy lately to get around buying a gift. Sure you can
run to the store and buy Hubs another tie, or…
… you can try one of these easy and inexpensive ideas.
A baseball –
autographed by your little one

I bought a baseball in a plastic case from Target for about
$15.00, and I found black, non-toxic stamp ink from Michael’s for about $5.00.
It wasn’t easy getting a three-month-old’s handprint, but I did it, and I put
it on the baseball. If Quinn had been older at the time, I would’ve had him
write his own name, but I wrote “To Daddy, Love, Quinn” on it instead.
Easy, adorable, sentimental and $20.
Photo with DAD letters
in a frame
I blogged about this awesome idea last year. You can get large, wooden or plastic letters from
Michael’s or Home Depot. (I borrowed mine from a friend, so I’m not sure how
much they were, but I know they weren’t expensive.) I purchased the picture
frame with three 4" x 6" slots from Target for $10.00.
Then Quinn and I spent some time in the backyard doing a
little photo shoot. Pick your three favorite photos and spend a couple bucks at
your local one-hour photo place. Also cheap, easy, adorable, and fast. Done!
This is perfect if you have three kids, one kid, or two kids
and a dog, but you can make it work with any combination. Hubs really liked
this gift, and he has it on his desk at work.
