Father's Day is coming up, so everyone knows to take some time to thank the most important man in their life. However, it can be challenging to come up with new, unique ideas. Try these eight meaningful ways to celebrate dad.

1. Watch a Movie

Remember family movie night? Bring back memories with a family movie night centered around dad's favorite flicks. Don't forget to include snacks.

2. Make a Gift

Yes- make a gift. You can always buy a gift, too, but making a gift is so much more meaningful. Even people who don't have a lot of natural crafting ability can create something cute and memorable with a little bit of time and effort. Kids and adults alike can try these homemade Father's Day gifts:

• Personalized spatula
  

• Picture frame
  

• Wood coasters
  

• Beer koozie
  

• Collage
  

• Card
  

3. Learn About His Ancestry

Your dad wouldn't be here without the people who came before him. Learn a little bit about who helped pave the way by investigating your dad's ancestry together. The process is a lot of fun, and you may learn some cool facts you never knew before. If your dad is your biological father, you will be learning about your own ancestry, too.

4. Perform an Act of Service

As dads get older, they need more help around the house. On Father's Day, look for something you can do to help him out. Even something as small as taking out the trash or cleaning out the dog pen can take a significant weight off of him.

5. Enjoy Nature

Father's Day occurs in summer, the perfect time to enjoy the beautiful weather. Get outside and enjoy the weather with your father. Some fun outdoor activities include:

• fishing
  

• hunting
  

• camping
  

• hiking
  

• sitting on the deck
  

6. Share Memories

Memories are a very personal thing. Two people can experience the same event and recall it very differently later in life. Take some time this Father's Day to share memories with your dad to see how you both experienced them. You can start by going through photo albums and recalling major events. The memories will become fuller when you bring them back to light and include your father's experience of the same moment into your own memories.

7. Give Dad a Makeover

We know your dad looks great, just the way he is. However, it can be fun to give him a bit of a makeover with some new clothes and some new hair products. For the dad secure in his masculinity, get a Mani/Pedi.

8. Include Everybody

Your dad should be surrounded by loved ones on Father's Day. When you make your plans, don't forget to include everyone else in your family as well as your dad's friends.
