How To Plan The Perfect Father’s Day

Make Father’s Day Unforgettable

Father’s Day is a chance to celebrate your superhero – the one who has the biggest hugs, the best advice and the silliest jokes. This year we’ve curated our collection to include so many thoughtful and fun gifts for every kind of dad – and we’re so excited for you to explore them all.

We love occasions and celebrating every moment, big and small, and of course, Father’s Day is no exception. So, we’ve put together the perfect little plan of action to give your Dad the best day ever.

Step 1: Add a Little Personal Touch

Make the morning magical by prepping in advance with personalised gifts from My 1st Years (or our amazing sister brand, Made Yours). Whether it’s his first Father’s Day gift or he’s a seasoned pro at the whole “dad” thing, a personalised gift adds that meaningful, keepsake quality he’ll treasure forever.

Dads aren’t always the easiest to buy for, but at Made Yours, you’ll find something for exactly who he is:

Is he a golfer? Discover everything from playful mugs, to cheeky “Bogeys Only” handkerchiefs. You can even team them with a Lucky Golf Tees Bag and a matching Initial Black Bottle – perfect for the dad who lives for tee time.

Family mealtime extraordinaire? Fire up his foodie side with our No.1 pizzeria apron, pizza paddle boards and matching head chef tea towel.

Maybe he’s a green-thumbed legend? From head gardener enamel mugs to gardening greeting cards and garden tool-adorned socks, Made Yours has got you covered.

For any kind of Dad, you can’t go wrong with something a little luxe. Think: embroidered weekend bags, wallets, and sports socks, to sentimental handkerchiefs, beer glasses, and even custom caps for all the family.

Step 2: Breakfast in Bed

Start the day with a surprise breakfast in bed. Why not let the little ones help whip up some toast, pour some cereal or even add a sprinkling of chocolate chips to fresh pancakes (extra points for smiley faces made of berries!)? The best things come from the heart, so let aspiring little artists make Daddy a handmade drawing or scribbled note to serve on the side.

Step 3: Unwrapping Time

After breakfast, surprise him with a beautifully wrapped bundle of personalised goodies. If it’s his first Father’s Day, make it extra special with our “Our 1st Father’s Day” sleepsuits, bibs and balloons – because there’s nothing more adorable than a bundle of joy all dressed up for him. We also have “Always My Hero” mugs and more, ready to show him he’s more than just “Dad”.

Step 4: Do Something Dad Loves

The best part of any celebration? Time spent together – creating them magical moments.

Whether it’s an outdoor walking adventure, a movie marathon snuggled up on the sofa or simply a home-cooked meal (with little one helping to stir the ingredients!), make it something he’ll love – and something the littles can get involved with. Here are some of our favourite ideas:

Have a family pizza night with Dad playing head chef – complete with his Pizzeria Apron and Paddle Board from Made Yours.

Set up a movie night, right in the comfort of your own home with his favourite snacks and all the blankets you can find.

Pack a picnic and set off for adventure with a big (or little) hike around somewhere beautiful.

Perfectly His

We’re here to help you make every celebration unforgettable and every gift a loved keepsake. It’s the little details that make all the difference and help you to hold onto the tiny smiles, giggles and everything else. That’s why we let you put your own personal stamp on every piece – making it perfectly his.

So, go on, explore our Father’s Day Gift Collections at My 1st Years and Made Yours – and create a celebration that’s as one-of-a-kind as he is.
