15 ways to treat the dad in your life this Father's Day.

1. Take care of his to-do list.

Has your dad been complaining about small issues around the house? Does he tend to take on home projects he has no business doing? If you're a Jack of all trades with lots of free time, help dad out by giving the gift of your own handyman skills. 

If you don't have any more business building shelves or fixing the roof than your dad does, find a local handyperson who can handle those repairs instead.

2. Build something together.

If your dad is good at working with his hands, find a project you can work on together. Whether it's something simple like assembling a birdhouse or a more involved project like building a piece of furniture, there's nothing quite like getting some tools out and letting the sawdust fly. If you have kids of your own, this is also a great gift that can get every generation involved. 

3. Cook dad a special dinner.

From family dinners to summer cookouts, some of our most treasured childhood memories revolve around food. If you know your way around the kitchen, cooking a great meal for your dad to celebrate Father's Day can be a memorable bonding experience for you both. 

Of course, if you don't know a dishcloth from an eggbeater, you could always hire a personal chef to cook for you both. Some chefs also offer private cooking lessons, which might be a good way for you and your pop to both learn a thing or two about cooking.

4. Get dad a home brewing kit.

If your dad is a craft beer enthusiast, set him up with a home brewing kit. Making your own beer is actually not all that hard, and the supplies you need to get started are affordable and easy to set up. This could even be a project the two of you take on together, which can lead to years of enjoyment. Just be careful not to overindulge in the fruits of your labor.

5. Upgrade the home entertainment center.

Some of the best Father’s Day gifts are things that your dad desperately needs but would never buy for himself. Case in point: most dads would love an epic, upgraded home entertainment center — but few know how to set one up. 

On the off-chance that you're no technological wizard yourself, buy the equipment — or gift cards to electronics stores — and then find a pro who can put it together for dad.

6. Take him on a trip.

What better way to celebrate than booking a vacation or taking dad on a camping trip for Father’s Day?

Whether you and your padre want to take a trip together or you want to surprise him by sending him on the adventure he's always dreamed of, it's surely a gift he'll appreciate. If you need help finding packages, booking excursions or setting up other details, don't hesitate to enlist the help of a travel agent.

7. Set him up with a personal trainer.

Whether your dad is a highly active guy or just wants an excuse to get off the couch, getting him a personal trainer is a great way to help him reach his full potential. Book personal training sessions with a professional trainer in your dad’s area so he can reach his fitness goals.

8. Pamper him with a facial and haircut.

Whether or not your dad is the sort of guy who would normally go to a spa, this is an experience he can really get a lot out of. In fact, the less likely your dad is to go to a spa, the more he can probably benefit from it. After all, everybody needs to get outside their comfort zone from time to time, and few people are more deserving of some genuine relaxation than dads are. 

Book him a spa day or go with him to get facials and a haircut. Trust us: you'll both have a great time. 

9. Up your dad's BBQ game.

Some dads are genuine masters of the grill. Other dads think they're masters of the grill. Whichever category your father falls into, a brand new grill is an all-around solid Father's Day gift. 

Take this gift to the next level by having a professional BBQ and grill service take care of setup and maintenance. And, of course, make sure you join him for the first cookout.

10. Go fishing together.

Few things say fatherly bonding quite like fishing. And while a new fishing pole or tackle box is a perfectly good Father's Day gift, the experience of visiting your favorite fishing hole together is even better. If you really want to turn it into an adventure, hire a fishing guide or charter service to take you out for an excursion on a body of water you've never explored before. 

11. Have a movie night.

If you want to have a great time with your dad on Father's Day, arrange a movie night where he gets to pick the movie. Whether it's an old favorite or a new movie he's been dying to see, he'll have a great time. Rent the movie on Amazon or iTunes (or get the DVD, if your dad is still in DVD mode), and head over to the house with some popcorn and a six-pack of his favorite beer or soda. 

12. Create a family photo album.

The older we get, the more cherished our memories and experiences become. Creating a family photo album can be a great way to let your dad take a walk down memory lane. 

Talk to members of your extended family about collaborating on the project, and see if you can find old photos going all the way back to your father's childhood. If some of the snapshots you find are a little worse for wear, work with a photo editing, scanning and restoration service to help bring old, worn-out photos into the modern era. 

13. Learn something new together.

Few things bring people together quite like the experience of learning something new. Taking lessons together can help you and your dad bond and rely on each other in new ways. If there's a skill or activity you and your dad have always wanted to learn, now's the time to take the plunge. 

It could be anything. Learn a new language together. Play some instruments. Go golfing. Take fly-fishing lessons. Learn to draw. Take a cooking class. The options are literally endless, and the experience can be truly rewarding for you both.

14. Personalize your gift.

The classic Father’s Day gift ideas — watches, pen sets, cufflinks, toolboxes — really are great gifts. But it's always a good idea to make your gift extra special with custom engraving. 

Take the time to think about what you want the engraving to say. An item engraved with a genuine, heartfelt message or inside reference that only you and dad would get will always beat "World's Best Dad.”

15. Clean out his office or den.

If your dad has a lot going on, give him a hand with the cleaning. Some help around the house is always a much-appreciated gift, and it gives you an opportunity to spend some time together. 

If you don't live close enough to your dad that you can help out yourself, hiring a professional house cleaner is another great option.
