Father’s Day Is Around The Corner

June 1, 2022 by Lisa Paden

“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.” – Anne Geddes

With Father’s Day around the corner, you have the perfect opportunity to return the love and dedication he gives to you and the family. It is the ideal time to let him know how much he means to you and celebrate him and all his lovable qualities. So, how do you help him feel appreciated this year?


We know that sometimes dads can be a little tricky to shop for. But there are plenty of creative ways to do this Father’s Day that you can pull off and make it one for the books. While you could buy Dad gifts or send a Father’s Day card, we know what he really wants is to spend time with you!

Unwinding with Him

Here are some relaxing activities to do with your dad to give him the kind of break he deserves.

Pamper Day with Pops 

  • A trip to the spa is always a good idea. Booking at your nearest spa and wellness center will surely give him the pampering he needs. To add to that, you can spoil him a little more by making a pamper kit for him that includes some special grooming treats like a selection of travel aftershaves, a fancy beard oil, and the like.

Brunch Out

  • Treat dad to a delicious meal that he can enjoy without cooking. Dine at his favorite restaurant and order all of his favorite dishes. Before heading out, you can surprise him with a broquet—that’s a dude-ified bouquet of gifts, instead of flowers, artfully wrapped with butcher paper and tied with a ribbon. It will be a sure-fire way to celebrate and give him a pleasant day. 

Pick-Me-Up Picnic

  • This can be at a nearby picnic location with scenic views or at your mini garden at home. Prepare dad’s favorite sandwiches and snacks, plus some tasty desserts and a good bottle of wine. And while preparing your picnic basket, why not put together a fun Father’s Day gift basket, too? Figure out his passions or hobbies and curate a gift basket that fits your dad’s style. We bet you will make him extra happy with this super cool and thoughtful gift. He’ll surely be able to chill with nature, delicious food, and the warm company of his family.

If you want to skip the DIY part, the Personal Gift Basket Company can help you with all your gifting needs. We offer high-quality gift baskets and care packages specially curated for the people who matter to you. Here are a few that will bring a smile to your Dad’s face.

Romantic Valentine’s Day Ideas

January 11, 2021 by Lisa Paden

Valentine’s Day can be stressful for most people! So many decisions to make, like do we eat dinner out or stay home? Should we include the kids or not? Reservations, take-out, or cook at home? I know you are nodding your head in agreement. The one thing you want to make sure you do is make whatever you chose fun and memorable. Whether you want to channel your inner chef or child, here are ten ideas to help make Valentine’s fun.  

  • Breakfast in bed

Wake your Valentine with a surprise breakfast in bed. Cook (or order – no one has to know) their favorite breakfast foods and serve them. Get out the nice linen napkins, silverware, and china. Add some fresh flowers and their favorite morning beverage.  

  • Picnic at home

Unless you live in a warm climate, February isn’t an ideal time for an outdoor picnic. However, there are ways to make this very romantic by packing up a picnic basket and heading to your living room! Move that coffee table and spread out the blanket, food, drinks, and games. Turn on your favorite song and enjoy a great romantic time together.  

  • Romantic movie binge

There are only a few things more romantic than snuggling up with your love and watching a romcom “romantic comedy. ” Pop the corn, get your favorite beverages, add a cozy throw and some fuzzy socks, and you’re ready to binge! Ladies, most men aren’t falling over themselves to watch romantic movies (except maybe on Valentine’s Day), so add in a few with some cars and explosions for him too. 

  • Sir-Mixology 

Get creative with cocktails; who knows; you may invent your new favorite drink! If you include the kiddos, here are some kid-friendly drink recipes.

  • Cozy campfire

Cold evenings can make for some hot fun. Set up a firepit and cuddle up with your Valentine under the stars. Cozy with a plush throw, sip on your favorite warm beverage like hot cocoa or tea, and make s’mores. Here are some fun, s’mores ideas. 

  • Cook dinner together

We all have a favorite restaurant and a favorite dish that we always order. How about trying to recreate your favorite restaurant meal at home. There are so many online recipe hacks you can use to make creating your meal simpler. Cook your food, get dressed up just like you’re going out, and enjoy your favorite meals together.

  • Order dinner in

Don’t want to cook? That’s okay too, order your favorite meal and eat it at home with your love. To make it even more special, dine (by candlelight) using your favorite dishes and drink out your favorite glasses. Don’t forget the linen napkins and stemware!

  •  Game night

Games are a great way to have fun and break the monotony. Whether you play board games or video games, let your competitive side out and have some fun. Order your favorite pizza and have a great time together. 

  • Fondue Dessert

Chocolate is a Valentine’s Day staple. Get out that fondue pot and have fun making your desserts. Things like strawberries, bananas, and Rice Krispies taste even better covered in chocolate because everything tastes better dipped in chocolate. Check out a few recipes from our National Fondue Month Blog. 

  • Share the memories

We can share memories at any time of the year. Still, there’s something special about Valentine’s Day that makes showing love so much more romantic. Watch your wedding video, get the old photos out, and belly laugh at how much you’ve changed. Reread old love letters (or text messages) you wrote to one another. Share what you love the most about your partner. 


These creative, fun ideas don’t cost much, but the memories you’ll make are priceless. As we celebrate with our loved ones, don’t forget to show love to those who’ve lost loved ones or are lonely on Valentine’s Day.
