Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th. Surprise your dad with a DIY Father’s Day Gift Basket. Customize it with items he enjoys on a budget you can afford.
Father’s Day is coming up pretty quick! That means many of you will be spending the day with your dad, or the special fathers in your life.
If you have your dad, give him an extra big hug for me because mine passed away way too soon! That’s alright because I know how life’s plan works so I will enjoy the day with my little family and made my husband feel like a king.
I am sure he is going to love his with Dove Men + Care items and more! He typically uses this line when he showers so it is a must!
When it comes to gift giving, I am typically a DIYer or a gift basket or bag maker. I love the element of surprise that a gift basket provides because your recipient has many little gifts to enjoy rather than one.
The possibilities are so endless as to what you can put inside too! I have been stalking some of my husband’s favorite things to add to his gift basket for a while now.
Where to Find Cheap Gift Basket Fillers
T-shirts, magazines, his special vitamins, nuts, and HBC products will be part of his gifts from me on behalf of the kids. I would like to add a few gift cards to it, but so far it is coming along just great!
I find most of my Father’s Day gift basket fillers at the dollar store, or after holiday clearances. I typically buy ahead of time when I see items at 75% off or more! It helps me to save for occasions like these.

My husband uses Dove Mens Care. It smells awesome.
Dawn says
Men + Care is a great line of products. My husband loves them, so I think I’ll be making him a basket for Father’s Day. Thanks for the idea!
Melissa Roy says
I love making gift baskets as well. I usually find that you can get a lot more smaller things within your budget than buying one bigger item!
Shauna says
Oh I love this. We are huge fans of DOVE and I know Hubby would love this. Thanks so much for the idea. This would be a perfect gift from the kids.

This would make a great gift for dad. My husband uses dove all the time, I am sure he would love this.
Amanda says
I did this for my hubby for Valentine’s day! Such a great idea!
Danielle I says
Great idea! Father’s Day is a difficult holiday for me because I can never figure out what to get my boyfriend. I like to get him practical things and then something from our son. This would be a great practical gift.
Scott says
I agree with almost everything in your basket. But, do NOT buy us cologne. It’ll sit unused, I promise you!
Nicole B says
Mens personal care items like the Dove body washes, etc are a great idea. My husband doesn’t do a lot of shopping for things like this for himself. Father’s Day is a great excuse to get him stocked up and smelling great.
Meagan says
Such a great way to celebrate Father’s Day! My hubby loves DOVE shampoo and soap – going to have to create this gift basket for you!

I was trying to find a gift set for my grandson, last minute gift idea, 5 days before Christmas. Yeah, right! None to be had. Then I stumbled across your site. I can probably find all the components and just make one myself, duh! Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me!
