5 Thoughtful Ways to Treat Dad This Father’s Day

It’s nearly that time of year where we get to celebrate the person who’s always been there — whether it’s for lift-giving, life advice, or just knowing how to sort out the WiFi. Father’s Day is our chance to say thank you to the dads, grandads, mentors, and father figures who’ve cheered us on, made us laugh (often unintentionally), and taught us a thing or two along the way.

And while every dad is different there’s one thing they all love: spending quality time with their favourite people. That’s why this year, we’re celebrating A Day With Dad — and we’ve designed a Father’s Day collection that will guarantee the very best kind of day, no matter what he’s into.

So, whether you’re planning a cosy day in, something more adventurous, or sending love from afar, we’ve pulled together five thoughtful ways to make him feel truly special this year.

Breakfast in Bed with a DIY Card
Imagine the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the room as Dad wakes up to a tray stacked high with fluffy pancakes (or a bacon butty if he’s more of a savoury type). Not too bad, right? Pair it with a handmade card — hand-drawn dinosaurs, heartfelt scribbles, or a cheesy pun — and you’ve got a winning Father’s Day wake-up call!

Start the day as you mean to go on: a thoughtful morning sets the tone for a day filled with love, laughter, and appreciation — the perfect way to show him just how much he means to you.

✨ Biscuiteers tip: Swap the real fry-up for something a little sweeter with our Breakfast Biscuit Tin. Featuring all the best bits of a full English — bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, and a cuppa — reimagined as delicious hand-iced biscuits.

Give Him a Chore-Free Pass
The lawn? Not his problem. The bins? Someone else’s job today.

For one day only (or even the whole weekend), give Dad an official pass from all the usual to-dos. No fixing the shelves, no Sunday errands, no “Can you just...?” That’s the power of a Chore-Free Pass — a simple promise that for the entire day, he gets to switch off, relax, and let someone else take care of everything.

You can make this even more fun by creating your own personalised voucher or pass promising to take on the tasks he usually manages. It’s not just a break; it’s the gift of peace and quiet, a chance for him to unwind guilt-free and enjoy the day however he likes.

✨ Bonus points: Set the scene! Create the perfect chill-out zone for Dad to fully relax — whether that’s outside in the garden with a cool drink and a comfy chair, or indoors in a sunny nook with his favourite playlist and a good book.

And don’t forget to add one of our Father’s Day biscuit tins to complete the picture. After all, every great reward deserves a sweet treat to enjoy while he kicks back, switches off, and soaks up the moment — guilt-free and totally earned.

Plan a Day Around His Favourite Hobbies
What does Dad love most? Whether it’s perfecting his golf swing, tuning into his favourite band, pottering around in the garden, or simply relaxing with a good film, the perfect day with Dad is one built around the things he loves most.

Book tickets to a match , take him fishing, head to a museum, or just pop on his favourite playlist and go for a stroll. Even something as simple as joining him for a walk or watching his favourite film (yes, even if it’s that one he’s seen a hundred times) can make him feel truly appreciated. It’s not about how fancy the plan is — it’s the thought behind it that matters most.

✨ Biscuiteers Tip: For a fun, tasty twist, why not bring his hobbies to the biscuit tin? We’ve got football , tennis, cricket, rugby, cycling, and marathon themed biscuits that make a perfect gift — or a delicious snack to enjoy together while you share his favourite pastimes.

Host a Father’s Day Game Night
Crack open his favourite snacks, dust off the board games, or set up a pub quiz in the living room — a low-key games night is a lovely way to bring everyone together. Let him pick the playlist, nominate him as quizmaster (or team captain), and make sure the treats stay topped up all evening.

However competitive your family gets, a Father’s Day game night is guaranteed to bring laughter (and maybe a little friendly rivalry).

✨ Biscuiteers Tip: Make it extra memorable with themed snacks, homemade scoreboards, and of course, a sweet prize for the winner — we recommend our Gold Medal Biscuit or Number Jolly Ginger, both crowd-pleasers that add a playful, winning touch to the celebration.

Organise a Family Get-Together
There’s something truly special about gathering everyone you love in one place — whether that’s around a big Sunday roast, a sunny garden BBQ, or a Zoom call with faces beaming on the screen. Carving out time to connect is what really matters, and Father’s Day is all about making little memories that go a long way.

Whether it’s an afternoon of stories and snacks in the garden or a full-on feast with Dad at the head of the table, make it feel like an occasion. Set the scene with his favourite food, a few family traditions, and some thoughtful touches — like place cards made by the kids or a toast in his honour. It doesn’t have to be fancy; it just has to feel like him.

✨ Biscuiteers Tip: Add a little extra flair with our DIY Biscuit Icing Kits so little ones (and big ones) can decorate a biscuit just for him, oror for you both to share a fun, creative activity together. For a little inspiration, watch our Father’s Day Jolly Gingers tutorial on YouTube.
