Personalized Fathers Day Gift Ideas | Daddy And Me Gifts

Jun 04

Daddy and Me Tool Kits for Father's Day - First Father's Day Gift Idea... Personalized gifts are the best! Perfect for a handy dad

Father’s Day always sneaks up on me. It’s Mother’s Day and then you blink and then it’s Dad’s turn. And guess what time it is? Time to get your Father’s Day plans in order! I’ve shared some DIY gift ideas for Father’s day in the past but today I’m excited to be sharing some super sweet personalized Father’s Day gift ideas. And better yet, they’re daddy and me gifts so your littles will be just as obsessed with giving these gifts as you will seeing them twinning. Not self serving at all ;P

I have two different themes for these gift ideas but you could honestly take it any which way. The other ladies from our Modern Handmade Home series are sharing some of their Father’s Day gift ideas that they’ve personalized in partnership with Personalization Mall today as well. This is a little different for us but we’ve worked with Personalization Mall before and totally LOVE their quality and their service so it was a no brainer to spread the love to the Dads in our lives too!

Matching duffel bags for the whole family! These are perfect for travelling with the embroidered names- the perfect gift for travellers!

To make this extra fun, I made a video about these gift ideas! I shared why I chose them and you can see them a bit closer in here. If you’re not following me over on YouTube yet, I’d so love if you did that here!

Daddy and Me Travel Bags

Matching duffel bags for the whole family! These are perfect for travelling with the embroidered names- the perfect gift for travellers!

Okay, I messed up here. Notice anything about this? I’M THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A PERSONALIZED BAG NOW! Ha… Such a face palm moment now that I’m packing for our trip next weekend and realizing I have to dig out my old ratty duffle bag yet again. But these bags are SO great!

Shane was gifted a personalized duffle bag for being a groomsman in a wedding years and years ago. We got so much use out of that thing but it finally blew a zipper. This upgrade is the perfect size for a weekend away for him and even to take to the gym. It’s a Nike brand bag which I know he loves and I customized it with orange lettering (for his fave hockey team and country… any guessses?!).

The quilted duffel bags for the boys are actually bigger than I expected and I’m pretty excited about that. That gives them enough room for everything they need when we go away for vacation. They have their school backpacks for day trips so this is a nice larger option when we need it. There’s pockets too and they fold down really nicely when they’re not in use!  They had fun choosing which bag would be theirs (I know blue is the fave color around here, so ordered three different blues with different fonts) and telling everyone that comes into the house which is which.

I totally love Aubrey’s polka dot bag too- it’s a more traditional duffel bag fabric that I think will hold up for years and years of use. The polka dots are so fun and she feels really special having one so different from the boys. 

This gift idea is best planned with a little getaway… for us, it’s not a Father’s Day gift exactly, but we planned a little vacation to visit Shane’s brother for Father’s Day weekend so these bags seem extra special this year.

Daddy and Me Tool Boxes + Tape Measures

The second gift idea is personalized tools! You can pretty much get any hand tools personalized. Since both Shane and my kids have pretty much all the tools they need already, I picked out this rad Carhartt tool caddy for him. He loves to bring a tool caddy like this around to work on different house projects so he doesn’t have to do too many trips but the one he has been using was too small for some of the things he’s found himself using lately (all those drill bits!). This one is the perfect size- I don’t know if he’s ever been so excited about a blog post as he was when he saw this caddy. It’s seriously so nice! We had it embroidered with a simple, ‘Dad’s Tools’ and I love the impact of this!

To stick with the ‘daddy and me’ gift theme, we got Calder his own little tool caddy. We actually let all three of our other kids use real tools (supervised) when we’re working on projects. They know how to pull out nails with a hammer and screw in screws and all that. But Calder is still too young to understand and wants to hit everything, EVERYTHING with the hammer if we let him touch it. So this little Melissa and Doug tool kit is SUCH A WIN! He played contently the whole time Shane was working on the window trim project. It’s adorable watching him carry around his tool kit behind Shane while they work on projects around the house. I love that we’ve put his name on it because it’s not only adorable but because it without a doubt shows the siblings that it’s his. He’s the fourth so doesn’t have many things that are just his!

Love the personalized wooden tool kit for a toddler! Perfect so they can tag along with dad

Matching tape measures! Such a cute Father's Day Gift for grandpa! Personalized with the sweetest saying

Last but not least, we picked up a sweet tape measure for my dad and for Emmitt to match. Pretty much everyone that’s constantly working on house projects could use another tape measure… like one for each room, right?! Ha! The one for my dad says ‘Babu, No One Else Measures Up To You!’… So sweet, right?! I’m not going to lie, my other kids are a bit jealous of this one… I don’t know why since we have tape measures for all of them at our house! But Emmitt especially just loves to work in the garage with my dad when they are over there. So much so that he has his own little work cupboard and drawer to keep his tools in. I thought it was nice for him to have a matching one to is Grandpa to put in there!

Alright! so those are my personalized Father’s Day gift ideas for you! There are SO MANY more things that you can do. I would have totally included a ‘grilling’ gift idea but I got Shane personalized BBQ tools for Christmas, so he already has them in use!

👏🏻CLOSED 👏🏻 congrats @kelseycford ✨
@ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
