Father’s Day is right around the corner. What special things do you have planned for Dad? Well, if you are looking for gift ideas we have got you covered. Two huge lists of gift ideas – some you can buy online, and a whole long list of FREE or nearly FREE gift ideas too. Plus there is a summer bucket list – in case Dad prefers activities over gifts and there are a bunch of ideas for gifts kids can make – including two free printable books that we know dads will love (grandpas too!). This round up includes Over 50 Fathers Day Recipe and Gift Ideas.

Now, the way to my husband’s heart is through his stomach. He loves to eat! And this list of fabulous menu items for Father’s Day does not disappoint. We’re featuring sauces to spice up your chicken or top your steak. BBQ is another popular option. I’ve also rounded up some impressive side dishes and an amazing S’mores Ice Cream dessert.
