More Party Ideas

While Mother's Day demands flowers, chocolates, pretty cards and more, Father's Day is a bit more laid back. The men who provide, protect, love, support and guide us require little to assure them how much they mean to us, but that doesn't mean we're going to slack on celebrating just how awesome they are.

It always seems like dad's got everything he needs, so instead of taking your gift shopping to the mall, think smarter -- and with your stomach. It's always been said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so it's natural to assume anything tasty will get two big thumbs up from your own old man.

We've rounded up five of the funnest DIY gift ideas we're loving for dad this year and bet you'll be wowed by them, too. There's nothing complicated or overly-thought-out about these presents. They're all about the things dads love most.
