It's hard to believe that Father's Day 2023 is just around the corner! As the big day approaches, now is the time to start brainstorming ideas on how to make this year's celebration special without breaking the bank. Whether you are shopping for gifts or planning activities, here are 5 budget-friendly ways to make this Father's Day unforgettable.
1) Make him a Father's Day breakfast in bed
One of the best ways to start Father's Day 2023 is by treating your Dad to breakfast in bed. This gesture shows your love and the good news is that it doesn't have to be complicated! Here are a few tips to help you prepare the perfect Father's Day breakfast in bed.
Start with his favourite breakfast foods. Maybe your dad loves bacon and eggs or does he like something sweet like pancakes with fresh fruit?
Next, consider the presentation. Use a tray or platter to display the food and make it look as appealing as possible. Don't forget to include your Father's Day card!
Remember, it's the thought that counts, so even if your culinary skills are not the best, your dad will appreciate the effort and the fact that you wanted to make his day special. Who knows, you might just start a new Father's Day tradition!
2) Put together a homemade gift basket
One great way to show your Dad you care on Father's Day is to put together a homemade gift basket. This thoughtful gift is a budget-friendly way to show your appreciation and it looks amazing!
Pick out a basket or container to hold all your goodies. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; a simple wicker basket or even a cardboard box will work just fine.
Once you've got your basket, it's time to fill it up! Choose a few items that take up most of the space. If he's a coffee fan this could be a bag of coffee and a Dad mug. Then fill the rest of the space with cheaper items like biscuits or cookies. A little bit of ribbon and some cellophane and you've got the perfect gift.

3) Plan a day filled with his favourite activities
Is there a better way to celebrate the day than by planning a day filled with his favourite activities? This year, instead of giving him a traditional gift, make the day special by spending quality time with your Dad.
The first step in planning a day filled with his favourite activities is to find out what he loves to do. Talk to other family members who might have an idea. Does he enjoy fishing, playing golf or watching movies? Whatever it is, tailor the day around his interests.
Once you have a list of his favourite activities, it's time to plan the day. Depending on what your Dad likes, this can be an expensive or budget-friendly affair. If he likes golfing, you can book a tee time at his favourite golf course or take him to the driving range for some practice swings. If he loves movies, plan a movie marathon and watch all of his favourite films together.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, consider doing activities that are close to home. Take him on a walk or hike in a nearby park, or have a game night at home.
4) Have a picnic in the park
Another budget-friendly way to celebrate Father's Day is by having a picnic in the park. It's a great way to spend quality time with dad while enjoying nature and some delicious food. Look for a picnic area near me or near your dad's house. Most parks have designated picnic areas with benches, tables and seats. A picnic in the park is a simple yet memorable way to celebrate Father's Day.
5) Get him his favourite sweets
For many Dads, the way to their hearts is through their stomachs! So why not surprise your dad with a hamper filled with all his favourite sweets and chocolates? This is a great idea if you're short on time.
A sweet and chocolate hamper is a simple and budget-friendly way to show your Dad that you care. Plus, he might even share!
