You should not present banal gizmos bought in the subway passage. Take some time and imagination to really surprise and please your father.

Do-it-yourself surprise for father

It's a great opportunity to showcase your handicraft talents. Both adult children and kids can make a gift for dad on February 23 with their own hands. The smallest with the help of educators, teachers, mothers or older sisters will be happy to make elegant postcards, crafts, embroideries, appliqués.

Salt dough makes excellent figurines of soldiers, animals, tanks, cars and other products that can be painted with acrylic paints. Boys will be able to burn a congratulation on a board or cut out a small puzzle mosaic.
A traditional postcard can be made using the origami technique by folding thick colored paper in the form of an airplane or a boat. The same figure, framed with a passe-partout, will be an excellent wall decoration.
Adult children will be able to please dad with more professional products. Knit your father a nice sweater or a cozy cardigan, a warm scarf or gloves. You can sew a home dressing gown or home vest for dad, embroider scarves with a monogram.

Daughters who are fond of scrapbooking can make an original purse, photo frame, photo album or memorial book for their father. In the list of interesting gifts that you can make yourself:

sofa cushions made of camouflage fabric;
felted slippers decorated with stars and other festive paraphernalia;
case for glasses, tablet or smartphone;
faience mugs, hand-painted.

Homemade gifts should be packed in fancy paper, boxes or cloth bags. Packaging can also be done by hand. Do not forget to attach a holiday card with a warm congratulation to it.

Practical gifts from loving children

When deciding what to give dad on February 23, keep in mind his hobbies and preferences. For example, a car enthusiast can be presented with a variety of car accessories: fur seat covers, a new radio tape recorder, and a fragrance for the interior. On sale there are products decorated with an army theme, on this day it will be especially useful.

Is your father fond of hunting or fishing, does he like traveling and going out into nature? Please him with useful things that will complement leisure. A practical thermo mug, a roomy thermos, a cooler bag, a handy flask in a case, a voluminous basket or a case with skewers, plates, glasses and other picnic accessories will do. A more solid present is a new brazier or a modern electric grill.

Sauna and Russian bath lovers can be presented with a set of felt hats, rugs, towels, washcloths. An original gift for dad on February 23 may include a pair of felted budenovkas and a towel with army symbols. It is important to choose not only unusual, but also high-quality things that will last for several years without losing their consumer properties.

An unusual gift - a variety of games and gadgets. Dad can be presented with a relaxation set made of metal or glass balls, an office golf set, an interesting puzzle or a puzzle with a thematic picture. There are still many cold winter evenings ahead that can be spent with benefit.

Grocery set: a gift that is always needed

Men are unlikely to be happy with a set of sweets or a cake. But they are also not indifferent to tasty things, especially since a holiday necessarily implies a plentiful table. When choosing what to give dad on February 23, give preference to meat and fish delicacies: smoked sausages, caviar, balyk. A good vacuum-packed steak is also appropriate as a grocery gift. Products can be packaged in a beautiful box or a gift basket decorated with a bow.

If you love and know how to cook, please dad with a delicious homemade pie or a basket full of pies with various fillings. Kids under their mother's guidance will be happy to bake fragrant gingerbread for their dad in the form of tanks, planes, boats and stars. To make the products look even more elegant, they can be decorated with colored fudge and sugar beads.

Supplement to the products - high-quality alcohol. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, rather expensive strong drinks are appropriate: vodka, whiskey, cognac, gin, tequila. Do not buy products of unknown brands in unusual themed packages. Get a really high quality product from a trusted brand and then pack it yourself.

When deciding what to give dad for Defender of the Fatherland Day, you can opt for a humorous gift. Father will be amused by the “real army set” of stew, a bottle of vodka, bacon and black bread, carefully wrapped in paper and folded into a duffel bag. February 23 is a great occasion to remember your youth and army days!

beauty and health

A popular gift for men is shaving products, eau de toilette, cologne and other hygiene items. When choosing perfumes, it is better to purchase high-quality products of a well-known brand with a classic discreet aroma. Middle-aged men especially like the aromas of pine, cedar, vetiver, moss. The necessary bottles can be found in a perfume boutique or a large cosmetic chain. Do not buy perfume sets in supermarkets and subway passages, a father should be presented with a truly high-quality gift.

The original version is a set that includes army hygiene products in the original packaging. Such a set can be bought in gift shops. Shaving cream, toothpaste, shampoo, soap and other essentials are conveniently stowed away in a practical carrying case made of thick khaki fabric. The toilet bag can also be used after the care cosmetics are used up. This set will especially appeal to travelers and people who often go on business trips.

Impressions as a gift

You don't have to buy things for dad. As a gift, tickets to a theater premiere or a football match, paid holidays in a holiday home, subscriptions to the gym or pool, courses in the gym under the guidance of a personal trainer can serve as a gift. Defender of the Fatherland Day is a good reason to get in shape and improve cultural activities.

A great gift is a poem or a song specially written for dad and performed by children. The text should be placed in a folder and presented as an additional gift.

When planning a holiday, do not forget that a gift for dad needs to be prepared in advance. Interesting ideas can be written in a separate notebook. It does not matter that not all gift fantasies can be realized. Ideas will come in handy next year, when again you will need to come up with an interesting gift for February 23rd.

I hope everyone finds for themselves what they were looking for.

We will start from the earliest age, we will create with children of the preschool category. Here, of course, the basis of the products is made up of various applications, origami, gluing and modeling.

And planes, tanks, ships and symbolic postcards usually act as gifts. I want to offer you to make such a beautiful and simple plane, anyone can do it, both the guys from the younger groups and the senior link.

Do-it-yourself greeting card for your beloved dad

We decided to hold a small master class on making a greeting card using the popular quilling technique. Both adults and children are fond of it. In another way, it is called paper weaving. To create images, strips of paper rolled into tubes are used.

You will need multi-colored paper (it is better to use craft paper), a base, scissors, glue and a little patience. You can make such a card with your child, it will be the best gift for dad and husband in honor of the holiday.

Step-by-step instruction:

Cut as many strips of colored paper as possible, about a centimeter wide, but you can vary it to your liking.
Using a toothpick, thin pencil or skewer, roll them into tubes and spirals.
With a simple pencil, draw a sketch of the future drawing on the base sheet.
Glue blanks on the sketch, combining different colors.
Cut wider strips for the title block.
On top of the background image, apply the thematic inscription "February 23" using contrasting stripes.
Decorate the appliqué with small stars, shoulder straps, colored paper planes.
Spray the composition with regular hairspray to better hold the parts together.
From the back, attach the stand or make a hole for mounting on the wall.

By the way, using the quilling technique, you can make not only a postcard, but also an original photo frame. Such gifts will take their rightful place on the desktop or bedside table, because they are so warm, cute and memorable.

We really hope that both you and him will like our options for gifts for dad on February 23, made by yourself. With a minimum budget, imagination and desire, you can please a loved one with an original, pleasant and memorable gift. Such things are never forgotten and do not gather dust on the far shelves of the closet.

In many families, it is customary to give gifts to each other on every holiday. Recently, presentations in the form of banknotes have become fashionable. Perhaps someone likes it, but in such a pragmatic gift there is no place for surprise, mystery, magic - everything that immediately takes us to childhood. How to choose an unusual thing that can pleasantly surprise a loved one? Try with your child to make a gift for dad with your own hands on February 23.

Teach kids to surprise

Modern parents, spoiled by an abundance of goods in stores, may not understand why do something on their own, if you can buy anything. What gift can a five-year-old child give to dad? Therefore, he usually kisses his father and gives him a shirt purchased by his mother. Everyone is pleased, but children do not receive any useful skills. To teach your child to make surprises, try holding this event in a different way.

A couple of weeks before February 23, tell your child about this holiday and discuss how you can make a gift for dad with your own hands on Defender of the Fatherland Day. It is not difficult for preschoolers to draw or mold something, but they do it every day, and something unusual is needed for the holiday. Try to turn on your fantasy: for example, take a walk with your child in a park or forest, find broken branches, and then decorate a photo frame with them. Of course, the baby alone will not cope, but it will be a pleasure to serve broken branches to mom!

If your kid has collected a bunch of beautiful pebbles in the summer, offer him to make dominoes for dad! The child will easily put dots on the stones, you will only need to suggest the right amount. A large stone is perfect as a press for sheets of paper that are constantly falling off a desk.

Give students cool ideas

The child is getting older, he has some favorite activities. Usually teenagers are interested in a lot of things: they want to play the guitar, and ride a scooter, and work on a computer; many are passionate about assembling models or needlework. Tell the children that such activities can be directed in a useful direction, for example, making gifts for dad with their own hands on February 23.

Let the son, who cannot be torn off the computer, choose his father's favorite photos or make an original collage in Photoshop, print them out and ... decorate his father's favorite corner in the house. And you can also do this in a non-standard way)

The girl can be suggested no less interesting idea! Let her make unique shaving brushes from ordinary shaving brushes! Such a gift to dad with his own hands on February 23 will be very relevant.

The original design of the purchased gift

Children grow up, they have already begun to earn money themselves. Before the holiday, young people go to the store to choose gifts. There is an abundance of beautiful things in the windows, a hand reaches for a wallet, and suddenly memories of childhood flash through my head. How joyful it was to make a gift to dad with your own hands, how fun it was to give it! .. The wallet is sent back to the pocket, and the youth strain their brains, inventing a gift.

If nothing interesting comes to mind, look on the Internet, there you will find a huge amount of advice on how to make the necessary and beautiful things. Bring your “zest” to the work, and the result will be an original gift for dad, which has a little personality. If appropriate, make a craft with a personalized inscription, then the product will immediately become copyrighted.

If you have already managed to buy a beautiful shirt, then try to at least give it in a not quite traditional way. What do you think of the tie sandwich idea? Great? 🙂 True, in this case, most likely you will have to run for a second shirt or try not to get this one dirty. In any case, such a presentation of an ordinary gift will make it memorable!

Another idea for decorating a gift bought in a store. We take several boxes of different sizes, first we pack the purchase; in the second we put some original greeting card and an already wrapped gift. The following boxes can be decorated with stickers, painted with funny pictures, put a hand-made souvenir into them. Boxes are nested one inside the other, like nesting dolls, then, in order to get a gift, dad will have to work hard and laugh.

Gift for a retired dad

Older men become picky and capricious, it is not easy to please them, not every thing will be to your taste. Give them warmth in the truest sense. The holiday is approaching, you just can’t figure out what to bring to an aging man. In this situation, it is very appropriate to make a gift for dad with your own hands. You can knit soft and warm woolen things for him, for example, a scarf and a vest, and sew comfortable house slippers. On cold winter evenings, he will be warmed by warm clothes and memories of loved ones. Choose a model in which dad will look like a successful modern man.

Old people love to brag about the success of their children. Perhaps you know how to make things that can be called a work of art. Put your work in the room with your parents, they will show them to everyone who comes into the house. When strangers praise your products, the father and mother will be happy, they don’t need a better gift.

Thematic table setting

In friendly families, all holidays are celebrated at a common table. So February 23 will not be an exception. As a pleasant surprise for dad, set the table in a special way! For example, if dad was once called up to serve in the navy and he is still interested in maritime topics, then beat this idea. Let there be more seafood delicacies on the table, and some dishes will be decorated in accordance with the chosen theme.

For dessert, a candy ship, perfect for a DIY gift for dad! You can come up with the design of the ship yourself, using shells and other attributes, or you can find many master classes on the Internet and use one of them.

At such an interestingly served table, communication will be lively and exciting!

And if dad loves to cook himself and you can often find him in the kitchen in the process of preparing another culinary masterpiece, then give him a cool apron as a gift))

Another holiday is approaching, and people habitually go to the store for crystal, sets and souvenirs. Aren't you tired of giving and receiving things that you can buy at every corner? Try to break out of this circle and first make a gift to dad with your own hands. Perhaps your example will be contagious, and on your next birthday, instead of a mountain of unnecessary things, you will receive original products that no one else has.

If you live far from your parents

Difficult question: how to make a gift to dad if you live far from your parents? You can send a postcard, money or a parcel, he will be happy with any news, or you can give him the opportunity to see you at any time. Take a video camera and make a short film about your life: how you live, where you work, how you relax with your children. If you know how to sing, dance or perform tricks well, include yourself in these frames in the movie. Having received such a gift by e-mail, parents will watch it several times every day.

Plan your holiday ahead of time!

So, you have finally decided on a gift. Congratulations!!! But you can go further and think over the scenario of the holiday from morning until evening. Remember all your dad's hobbies and talk about where he would like to go, but never got around to it. Arrange for him a trip to the museum of weapons, go karting with your dad, gather all your male relatives (and you can also women) and go paintball in a friendly company!

An active holiday with family and friends will cheer up dad and give a lot of unforgettable impressions! After the cultural program, you can all gather at the festive table and once again discuss all the interesting moments of the outgoing day.

Successful preparation of the holiday for your dear protector!!!

Handmade gifts always evoke affection, because they are created with love and especially for the person being presented. In the case of gifts from children, this is even more important, because in this way a child can express all his love. And February 23 is one of the great reasons to make something useful or just nice for dad.

Postcards

The very first thing that comes to mind when you need to come up with a children's gift for dad is postcards. Often they make such a gift to dad on February 23 with their own hands in kindergarten and in circles, in elementary school classes, and it is always a pleasure to receive a postcard for the head of the family. Depending on the age of the child, you can complicate the technique and make really interesting postcards.

So, what ideas can be taken as the basis for making such a congratulatory gift? For example, you can make a postcard in the form of a military uniform. Take thick green cardboard, white, black and gold paper, scissors, felt-tip pens and a beehive. From cardboard, make a blank for a postcard in the form of a rectangle. Fold the edges of the rectangle towards each other so that they open like the hem of a jacket. Bend the corners of the cover outward, like the lapels of a jacket. Glue shoulder straps and buttons on top of gold or yellow paper, draw stars.

Next, cut out a rectangle from white paper. From above, make cuts from two edges, not reaching the middle and bend the resulting strips of paper inward and downward - you get a shirt collar. Cut out a tie from black paper and glue it to the shirt. Glue the shirt and tie inside the uniform - and the card is ready. Explain to the child all the technology step by step, and let him make the same picture for dad on his own.

From improvised means, using a little patience and creativity, you can create an original gift for dad on February 23 with your own hands, which will pleasantly surprise him. A variety of military equipment is perfect for the theme of February 23, so we offer you to make a plane out of clothespins and ice cream sticks as a nice gift. For one airplane, you will need one clothespin and three sticks, as well as glue and acrylic paints. Clothespins can be taken multi-colored plastic, or wooden. Then the clothespin will need to be painted with paint and do the same with chopsticks. Choose contrasting colors to make the airplane bright. When the painted parts are dry, you can glue them. Two sticks should be glued to the edge of the clothespin, one under the other - this will be the fuselage of the aircraft. Cut the third stick in half and glue the half on the end of the clothespin - this will be the tail. From the end of the remaining half of the stick, you can make a detail for the tail. Dad can simply put such an airplane in a conspicuous place, for example, and the desktop, and can fasten important notes on small pieces of paper with a trailer.

Also, a child can make a matchbox tank for dad. For the tank you need to prepare:

Three matchboxes.
Bottle cap green or black.
Green paper.
Black cardboard.
8 buttons.
Glue.

First you need to take two boxes and glue them together with narrow sides, and then wrap the resulting rectangle with green paper. You also need to wrap the third box with paper. Next, glue a small rectangle in the center of a large one, and glue a lid on top. Fold the tube out of paper and glue it to the lid or top box - this will be the barrel. Glue the buttons in the form of wheels on the sides of the tank, and caterpillars can be made from black cardboard - cut out two strips, fold each with an accordion and glue on the sides of the tank.

Do-it-yourself gift for dad on February 23 from a photo

A photo collage will give both children and dad a lot of pleasant minutes - first when preparing, and then when looking at it. You can make a collage in the form of a postcard or in the form of a poster on the wall. Come up with a basic idea with your child, select suitable photos and pictures, help draw a background, cut and paste a photo.

As an idea, you can take a comic book about a superhero - this, of course, is dad. He fights evil to protect his family. You can also draw a car in which to “put” dad, mom and children - it will turn out unusual, made with humor do-it-yourself gift for dad on February 23.

Birthday Cake Ideas

A pack of butter.

Take the butter out of the refrigerator ahead of time to soften it. Also open a can of condensed milk so that the child does not cut himself. Butter and milk need to be whipped with a mixer, a child can handle this under your supervision. Also instruct him to crush the cookies with a rolling pin. Next, let him mix the cookies with the butter mixture and nuts and put the mass on a plate in the form of a slide or in a special split ring. Place the finished cake in the freezer so that it grabs. After a couple of hours, melt the chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave and pour hot chocolate over the frozen cake.

Eyeglass case from a tie

For manufacturing, you need to choose an unnecessary tie, cut off its upper narrow part and wrap the free edge inward. Next, you need to grab the edges with a thread to make a pocket. Velcro can also be glued to the eyeglass case so that the open edge wraps up and covers the glasses.

When dad comes home in the evening, he always has dinner and drinks fragrant tea or coffee. And for this there must be a special cup, carefully decorated with their own hands - a gift to dad on February 23 from his daughter. 10 years old is a great age to make such a gift, although older preschoolers can handle it.

To prepare such a gift, you can buy special markers or paints for drawing on porcelain and ceramics and a simple white cup. Let the child fantasize and create - so the cup will turn out to be truly unique.

Also, if a child knows how to knit, even very simple stitches, you can make a heating pad for a mug. You will need to knit a small rectangle the size of a cup, which is fixed in the handle area with wooden buttons - cute and cozy.

Sweater tablet case

If knitting is not your forte and your child does not master this art, an alternative would be to use dad's sweater, which he has not worn for a long time. From it you can make a stylish and cozy case for a tablet or e-book.

For the cover, you only need the front and back of the sweater. Just cut two squares according to the size of the gadget and sew with threads on three sides. Threads can be used from the same sweater. Additionally, the cover can be decorated with wooden buttons.

Can coaster

For a dad who works in an office, or for a creative dad, you can build a pencil glass from a tin can. To do this, take a larger jar with a paper label. Clean the label thoroughly so that the jar becomes shiny and smooth. Next, you need to decorate it. For this, nuts and screws, corks and bottle caps or caps from felt-tip pens are suitable. With their help, you can create a funny muzzle or any pattern. Also protect the edges of the jar, which may be sharp - use pliers to wrap the edge of the jar inward.

You can also glue the entire jar with nuts and paint the finished glass with spray paint.
