Spend Time with Dad at Home:
Take Family Photos
A picture is worth a thousand words! Take some pictures on any device with dad so he can have a new image for the old picture frame.

Have a Picnic
Do you have an old blanket? Go in the backyard or to any local park with a basket of dad's favorite snacks and surprise him with a refreshing picnic with the family. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just enjoy some quality time.
Bake His Favorite Dessert
You can never go wrong with baking the classic chocolate chip cookie. Whether it is from a pre-made box or a homemade recipe, dad will appreciate this gesture. Find out what he likes and surprise him!
