Thoughtful Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Dads Who Deserve More Than Socks

1. A Personalised Book He’ll Keep Forever

This year, give him a story that’s made just for him. Ziggli’s personalised Father’s Day book puts Dad and his child at the heart of a one-of-a-kind adventure. Every page features their names, their likeness, and a story that celebrates their connection.

With options for solo dads, two-dad families, grandfathers, and more, our books are designed to reflect real families and real love. It’s the perfect mix of fun, heartfelt, and totally unique. Just choose your characters, add your message, and create a keepsake he’ll treasure forever.

Perfect for: New dads, granddads, stepdads, and every kind of father figure
Bonus: Add a matching greeting card and gift sleeve to complete the experience


2. A Day That’s All About Him

Sometimes the best gift is time. Plan a day doing something Dad loves. It could be:

  • A backyard BBQ with the kids

  • A beach picnic with his favourite snacks

  • An afternoon off to watch the game or read in peace

Pair it with a handwritten note or your child’s drawing, and you’ve got a simple, thoughtful way to show appreciation.


3. Something Handcrafted by the Kids

From finger-painted mugs to popsicle stick photo frames, homemade gifts have heart. If your little one loves crafting, set aside time for a project just for Dad.

Need inspiration? Try:

  • A “Dad and Me” coupon book

  • A drawing of their favourite memory together

  • A custom story written by your child (bonus points if it matches your Ziggli book)


4. A Gift That Reflects His Role

Celebrate what makes Dad special. Is he the bedtime storyteller? The pancake-flipping pro? The soccer-sidekick?

Match the gift to the moment:

  • A custom apron for the breakfast king

  • A framed photo from their last big adventure

  • A Ziggli book where the character looks just like him

This kind of thoughtful detail is what turns a good gift into a lasting one.


5. A Personalised Reading Ritual

Want to create a new tradition? Pick a special book, write a message inside the cover, and make it a Father’s Day reading moment. Whether your kids are toddlers or tweens, reading together builds connection, and makes bedtime (or morning cuddles) a little more magic.

Ziggli’s books are made for this. Every one is tailored to your family, printed with care, and created to make dads feel seen, loved, and celebrated.


Why Ziggli Books Are the Best Father’s Day Gift

There are a lot of gifts out there. But very few can say:

  • It’s made just for him

  • It includes his child by name and face

  • It’s emotional, fun, and unforgettable

Ziggli books tick every box. They’re beautifully illustrated, fully personalised, and designed to reflect real families in all their forms. You can add a message inside, customise characters, and even choose extra add-ons like a gift sleeve.

Plus, the stories are warm, inclusive, and made to be read again and again.
