Free (or Inexpensive) Gifts that Kids Can Make:

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make Dad happy. Getting the kids involved to make something special that comes from the heart can be just the perfect thing! Here are some suggestions for you!

Via express

• Personalised Mug

• Gourmet Basket with Dad’s favourites

• Hand Print Art

• Car Wash Kit

• Coupons to Help Dad Out around the House

• Desk Organiser

• World’s Greatest Dad certificate

Another great idea for a gift is to get something repaired that he already owns. Maybe his computer needs a defrag and a check for viruses? Or his lawnmower needs a service? Practical gifts are just as popular and means you can tick another thing off your ‘to fix’ list! Just make sure you grab him a pair of jocks and a king size block of chocolate to go with it.

What are you giving your Dad for Christmas this year? What about your hubby?
