Home / Father's Day Gifts

A Father's Day gift is only truly complete with a personal card. But what do you write on it? Whether you go for a funny note, a cool quote, a touching message or a simple "I love you" - the right words make all the difference. In this blog we share tips, examples and inspiration to make your card just as special as the gift itself. This way you can surprise your father with a message straight from the heart.

Why a personal message on Father's Day is essential

  • A card on Father’s Day shows that you’ve put time and thought into your gift. It’s a chance to express your appreciation, love or gratitude – something that dads secretly love. Plus, a personal message is often something that is kept and cherished, much longer than the gift itself.

  • Whether you choose a pair of cool socks , a set of beard care products or a bottle of rum as a gift, a sweet, funny or cool handwritten card with the gift will put a smile on his face and create a warm, lasting keepsake.

Where do you put the Father's Day card?

  • The standard idea is to simply include your card with the Father's Day gift. But there are also other fun and original ways to hand over your message - or even secretly hide it - for an extra surprising Father's Day moment:

    • Put the card in a surprising place and make his day extra special.
    • Insert the card into his laptop or place it on his desk.
    • Hide it in the gift box, neatly between the wrapping paper.
    • Place it under his coffee cup or on his plate during Father's Day breakfast.
    • Place the card on his pillow as a morning surprise or just before going to sleep, possibly together with the gift.
    • Slip it into his laptop bag or jacket pocket for an unexpected moment later in the day.
    • Slide the card between the pages of the morning newspaper or his favorite book or magazine.
    • Put it in the fridge so he can see it right away when he opens the door.
    • Place it in the car on the driver's seat or dashboard, possibly together with the gift.
    • Write your message on a (homemade) greeting card and send it by post.
    • A little card or note in just the right place will put a smile on his face—even before you take out his gift.

What do you write on the card for a Father's Day gift?

  • The most important thing is that your message feels like it comes from your heart. Write a nice memory on the card, a compliment, or a link to the gift. For example, think about what makes your father or the father figure in your life special and play on that.

    Important: Write a handwritten text on the card. This makes the gift even more personal than with a printed text.
    A bonus: let little ones write, scribble or draw something themselves. That makes the message on the card even more personal.
