You probably remember your kids asking you if it's okay to get daddy a funny card for fathers day and saying that it's alright but you may not have read what the cards say and left it to your kids judgment to pick something that'll make dad laugh but you'll be both shocked and surprised to know that what the kids actually got was a card with a sarcastic remark or two about how dad always sleeps through the weekends.
Kids will be kids but what this means is that you don't take any interest in fathers day even though your husband must do a ton of things for you for mothers day including craft projects with the kids. One thing you need to start doing is telling your kids that the point of fathers day isn't to make fun of him but to appreciate him for all the support he's given to the family all these years and that giving him cards or anything else that makes fun of his habits isn't the way to do it.
The next thing you need to do is get involved and find a fathers day gift for your husband. Don't think you need to get him something huge because you never got him a fathers day gift before just find something that he'll like. Think of how simple things like flowers on mothers day really make you happy; happier perhaps than even jewelry. You shouldn't panic because you can't get him that new golf club or if you can't afford tickets to some game, try something that's just as simple but affectionate as flowers.
You can't actually give a guy flowers through so you need to try one of his less complicated interests and the easiest one of them all is the love of food. You could cook something special for him and he'd definitely notice the effort and appreciate it. Have a family dinner (immediate family only) on fathers day, nothing makes a man happier than food and the entire family eating together. If you don't think cooking a meal qualifies as a real gift; try looking for edible gifts like fathers day gift baskets or fruit bouquets.
Fruit bouquets are fresh fruit arrangements that look like flowers. They're made in all sorts of fun containers like NASCAR themed race cars, basketballs and golf balls. They're a nice gift for the guy who likes sports, they're food related so you can't go wrong and what's best is they're easy on the budget.
