BUFFALO, N.Y. — This Father's Day, the way to Dad's heart is through his stomach. Why not say goodbye to aftershave, neckties and paperweights, and hello to something most dads love: a sweet treat. How to show you really care? Customize it.
Sweet treats make delicious gifts, but since most people don't have the time to bake something, the bakery at the grocery store offers a variety of inexpensive, fresh and delicious options that can be turned into great, personalized gifts. For Father's Day this year, don't spend all your time in the kitchen prepping, baking and cleaning. Take some time to hang out with your favorite guy and give him a homemade gift from the heart. Children of all ages will love making these sweet treats for Dad.
Here's how it works:
- Head to the bakery department at your local grocery store and pick out a baked good Dad is sure to love; cupcakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, cinnamon rolls, donuts.
- Pick up materials to create a uniquely wrapped gift – straws, toothpicks, plastic bags, ribbon;
- Package the baked goods & gift to the fathers in your life.
To encourage this thoughtfulness year-round, Give Bakery Because offers ideas that make it easy to show appreciation to all the special people in their lives throughout the year, on any "Just Because" occasion.
A variety of bloggers have joined in the Give Bakery Because fun this Father's Day by posting their DIY gift ideas using store- bought items from the bakery department in their local grocery store. Here are a few examples:
- Our friends at Macaroni Kid decided to show dad how much they care with a crafty tool box full of sweet treats.
- Another blogger at Macaroni Kid and her daughter wanted to make shirt and tie themed placemats – perfect for their surprise breakfast for Dad. They went with muffins that they picked up from a local grocery store, but any baked goods could work- cookies, muffins, cupcakes.
- Check out this great idea from Club Chica Circle. Whether you have a big family celebration or just a small affair planned, the special father in your world will surely feel the love and enjoy yummy treats with this cool cupcake display.
