Father's Day is upon us, and if you haven't had the time to get Dad something, then we have some cute gift ideas. 

This one is for the little ones, who don't have a large budget to plan elaborate gift ideas for Dad. So, if you are a mom, big sister or brother, aunt or grandmother, you can help the little ones in your family make some of these cute crafty gifts for the father figure in your life. 

1. Keyrings

Keyrings are a sweet, thoughtful gift idea that won't break the bank. This one is super simple to make and is perfect for the fathers who work in an office and are fond of ties. 

Check out the video from TikTok below.

3. Goodie bag or tie

Not all fathers wear a suit and tie to work, so you can personalise this to fit your dad's occupation or, even better, make it to suit one of his hobbies. 

While this video from TikTok shows how to make a gift goodie bag tailored to a dad who wears a suit and tie, you can make one more suited for other professions. Maybe your father is a plumber or likes sport, you can choose something different, but the idea is to fill it up with goodies. 

So get hold of some of your Dad's favourite snacks and place them inside your themed vessel-type bag. You could even get a plain gift bag and fill it with Dad's favourites.
