Ah, Father’s Day. It’s the second most important day of the year, next to Mother’s Day. I’m kidding. Of course, Father’s Day is equally as important as Mother’s Day because we love both our parents, don’t we?
If
you’re stumped on how to make Father’s Day special for the most beloved man in
your life, aside from your husband or boyfriend, make your Dad feel extra happy
with these 12 simple but special tips.
1.
Breakfast in bed
There’s
nothing more sweet and caring than a freshly prepared breakfast in bed. You can
do this even on ordinary days. Imagine your Dad waking up to a hearty breakfast
on a Sunday morning.
2.
Bring him the morning paper
If
your Dad is the kind of man who loves to get up to speed with what’s happening
with the latest news or events, then include his favorite newspaper along with
the special breakfast you prepared for him.
3.
Make his coffee
A
hot cup of freshly brewed coffee is a sure-fire way to perk up your Dad in the
morning. Coffee also has numerous health benefits. Studies show that people,
ages 50 to 71, who drink at least one cup of Joe per day reduced their risk of
having diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems.
4.
Go fishing
If
your Dad is into fishing, then why don’t you try joining him in one of his
fishing trips? This activity is a great way for you and your Dad to spend
quality time and create some more wonderful memories. There are many excellent fishing
spots you can go to. I found this very informative link you should check out

5.
Shoot hoops
Your
Dad may be past his prime to be the next NBA star, but he can still reap the
numerous health benefits of shooting a few hoops. Basketball is a fantastic way
to burn calories. So if your Dad needs to shed some extra pounds, then join him
for a friendly game.
6.
Backyard barbecue
When
was the last time you saw your Dad having a grand time grilling a classic tender
rib in your backyard? You can turn this simple backyard barbecue into a small
gathering of your family, long-lost relatives, and close friends. Just thinking
about grilled chicken with garlic-herb dressing makes my mouth water
uncontrollably.
7.
Mow the lawn
Another
simple way to make your Daddy proud is to mow the lawn. It’s not that difficult
really. I remember mowing the lawn when I was younger, and I found it quite
enjoyable. There’s nothing like that distinct smell that only freshly cut grass
can produce. Plus, your lawn will look beautiful when you’re done.
8.
Take Dad to his favorite sporting event
If
my old man were still around, I would love to take him to a live WWE event. I
fondly remember him asking me when Monday Night Raw is on so he can watch his
favorite WWE superstar, Stone Cold Steve Austin. A live sporting event is
another great way to bond with your Dad.
9.
Play golf
Your
Dad doesn’t need to be ridiculously fit or athletic to be the next Tiger Woods.
Even if you’re not a big golfing fan, you can still accompany him or better
yet, you can be his personal caddie for the day.
10.
Cook his favorite dish
Most
Fathers are hearty eaters, so this one’s a walk in the park for you. Try to
make an easy to cook but mouth-watering pan-fried lamb chops with some fava
beans and a nice chianti. I’m sure your Dad will love it.
11.
Wash his car
If
your Dad’s jalopy is looking worse for wear, take it to the nearest A1A car
wash and have it wiped down thoroughly. I’m sure he’ll be pleasantly surprised
to see his ride looking squeaky clean and good as new.
12.
Relieve his back and joint pains
Is
your Dad suffering from constant body pains like backaches? Chances are, he
isn’t getting healthy sleep. Do you know how long he’s slept in the same bed?
If he’s been sleeping on it for more than five years, maybe it’s time for you to
get him a new memory foam mattress. There are many affordable and
high-quality mattresses available in the market. You can even shop online in
the comfort of your home.
So
there you have it. Hope you have a wonderful time with your Dad this Father’s
Day.
