Father's Day: Gift ideas For a Special Day

Father’s day is just around the corner and all you have is a card? No need to worry! We came up with a variety of gift ideas that will make your dad happy on his special day. Printing gifts can be a fantastic way to create personalized and meaningful Father's Day presents. Here are some printing gift ideas you can consider:


  1. Photo Canvas 

Choose a favorite family photo or a memorable picture with your dad, and have it printed on a canvas! Nothing says “I love you” as a display of the most cherished memory your dad has given you, especially if it is showcased on a high quality canvas material. You may select the variety of depth of your canvas from ¾” all the way up to 3” and if you’re feeling festive, maybe try out a few of our floater frames to complete the look of your present. 







  1. Framed Print 

Framed prints make excellent Father's Day gifts because they combine the thoughtfulness of a personalized gift with the beauty of artwork. Pick a favorite memory with your dear dad and print it on high-quality paper in an elegant frame. Remember to choose a high-quality frame that complements the style and aesthetics of the print. Consider the size and color scheme of the room where your dad will display the framed print, ensuring it will fit seamlessly into his space. The effort and thoughtfulness behind a personalized framed print make it a wonderful Father's Day gift.


  1. Family Photo Collage 

Create a collage of memorable family photos and have them printed and framed. Choose pictures that capture special moments, such as family vacations, celebrations, or candid shots. It's a heartfelt gift that showcases your love and appreciation for your dad. Have you ever tried dye-sublimation prints on metal and or wood? That could be a fun and interesting path to explore! Dye sublimation works by infusing a surface with dye from a printed image by adding heat and pressure. The fibers of the surface are permanently coated with the dye ink for a boldly colored, durable display. Pick your photos and the material you would like your final piece to be displayed on and we will take care of the rest. 


  1. Inspirational Quotes

 Find a meaningful quote that resonates with your dad's personality or values. Pair it with an eye-catching background or design and have it printed and framed. Every time he looks at it, he'll be reminded of your love and support.





  1. Customized T-shirts or apparel

 Design and print a T-shirt or jersey with a special message or a favorite quote that represents your bond with your dad. You can also include a photo or an inside joke that holds significance to both of you. 









  1. Personalized Photo Mug

 Buy a plain white mug and use sharpie markers or porcelain paint to write a message or draw designs on it. You can also add some embellishments like glitter or rhinestones. If you would like for the design of the mug to stay the same throughout many more Father’s  Days, you may look  into dye-sublimation on ceramics. Dye-sublimation products last for several decades, without losing their saturation and quality. Simply create a digital design or upload a photograph and your mug will be ready within 3-5 business days! Print a photo of you and your dad on a coffee mug or travel tumbler. Every time he enjoys his favorite hot beverage, he'll be reminded of your love and appreciation. 




  1. Customized Poster

 Design and print a poster featuring a collage of memorable pictures, inspirational quotes, or symbols that represent your dad's interests or hobbies. Or, perhaps your dear father enjoys a certain band or a sports team or even a movie? The possibilities of creating a customized poster are endless!  It can serve as a decorative piece for his office or personal space.






Remember to plan ahead and allow enough time for printing and delivery if you choose to order online. Our dads need just as much love and support as anyone else in the family. Make him feel cherished with your DIY gift ideas!
