Date with Dad
Kind of along the same lines as the coupons, you could encourage your little ones to create a date day with daddy and present him with the itinerary on Father’s Day. As the mama, have everything arranged and purchased as part of his gift. Dad I’m sure will love this special one-on-one time with his little ones. It could be going out to a restaurant, to a baseball game, putt putt golfing, or to a movie. Let your kids pick (within reason), purchase the tickets, and have everything all set up. I think we’ll make this a tradition in our house for Father’s Day.
