For The Dad Who LOVES Coffee
Every Dad loves a good mug! Make Dad a new mug for every day of the week with my master list of Mug Ideas!
Want to feature custom art by yourself or family members? This is SUCH a great gift idea! I have an easy tutorial on making Freehand Art Mugs using Infusible Ink markers.
If you make a mug for Dad, wrap it up safe using a Mug Gift Box — this explosion version is my favorite!
Does the Dad in your life need coffee on the go? Make him a custom Sublimation Tumbler and he’ll be all set!
Top off your Father’s Day gift with a Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder for his favorite cafe. Look at all the variations our friend Kimberlee made!
Outdoorsy Dad
Help Dad light up the campsite (or your backyard) with an easy Camping Light Bucket. Especially helpful if you have to pitch your tent after dark.
Super nice for giving gift cards, my Easy Leather Wallet is a fun one for kids to make and see Dad use!
Going on a vacation with the family this summer? A DIY Survival Kit for Dad can be a major lifesaver (and day saver) if things get stressful on the road.
If some seaside stops are on the agenda, make Dad a personalized Beach Towel with Cricut Iron-On Vinyl. Decorate it with one of your favorite dad jokes for lots of laughs!
Bring the wilderness indoors with my Wolf Paper Lamp! This would look beautiful glowing on Dad’s desk or nightstand. It looks complex, but it’s actually pretty easy with my full step-by-step tutorial!
Got a hat-wearing Dad? He’ll love a Custom Hat with a funny or heartfelt message made with iron-on vinyl cut on Cricut Joy and applied with a Cricut Hat Press.
Dad Who Loves to Cook
The perfect gift for a Dad who cooks? Not your run-of-the-mill greeting card, this is a 3D pop-up Grill Card! Slip a gift card to his favorite kitchen gadget store inside.
Not just for wine, these personalized Wine Gift Bags are the best way to gift barbecue sauces and fancy cooking oils, too.
Decorate this handy Cooking Boa with his favorite sports team or cover it with sentiments about how much you love Dad. Super easy to sew and keeps his hands clean!
He’ll feel like king for a day when he sees the whole family is dressed in Family Shirts commemorating Dad’s special holiday! Easy to make with heat transfer vinyl.
Gamer Dad
Does Dad collect Funko Pops or action fictures? My Figurine Display is a fun Cricut gift to display his collection — or fill it with new ones!
The perfect Father’s Day gift for the dad who games: A Game Controller Card with a gaming gift card nestled inside.
Does Dad have a special collection, or a prized possession in need of display? My DIY Collector Shadowbox is a super thoughtful gift that doesn’t take much time.
New Dad
Is it Dad’s first Father’s Day? A Picture Puzzle is a sweet gift idea! Use a picture of his new bundle of joy for a family photo, and cut the puzzle right on your Cricut cutting machine.
A personalized Infusible Ink Shirt with a cute saying for a new father like “Promoted to Dad, 2023” or “Dad Level: Unlocked” makes a great personalized gift!
This one is a personal favorite! I absolutely loved making this Scrabble Wall Art with the names of my family members — pets too! Seeing your names together on the wall is bound to make him smile this Father’s Day.
Fatherhood is an adventure, and what better way to record the journey than a personalized Engraved Leather Journal? He can record musings about fatherhood or reflect on the places he’s visited with family inside this special keepsake.
The best things in life are free! Or… you could give Dad a Money Cake. This is a fantastic gift for the man who has everything (or just likes to shop for himself).
Elevate Dad’s ride with personalized Vinyl Car Decals! While he might not love these exact designs, there are literal thousands of other options on Cricut Design Space to use or personalize — or you can design your own!
Dad With a Man Cave
While Dad might want a less magical design on his man cave wall, a Large Wall Decal of something he loves would make a super fun addition to his special space!
Father’s Day coasters! Personalize these Custom Cork Coasters with vinyl cut on your Cricut, then make his day by bringing him a cold one (and protecting the coffee table at the same time).
Welcome Dad home (or to his favorite room) with a Custom Doormat! I’ll show you how to sublimate large designs like this one in my video tutorial. It’ll be the first thing he sees when he gets home, so have fun with it!
Even if Dad isn’t a crafter, this Couch Caddy (with a few tweaks) means he’ll never lose the remote again! Make one in his favorite colors and he’ll always have his essentials nearby while relaxing.
Dad Who Loves Books
Wooden Bookmarks are so timeless and classic, and fantastic for gifting a Dad who loves to read. Cut them out on your Cricut, then swap the elements with other colored woods for beautiful inlaid details.
Another bookmark idea, because can you really have too many? These Engraved Leather Bookmarks are even easier than the wooden ones, and are so much more meaningful than a store-bought gift.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to fun Sublimation Socks! Make a cozy pair for Dad to wear when he’s relaxing with a book. You can even decorate them with his favorite book cover, literary quotes, and more!
The ultimate book-lover’s gift: A DIY Book Nook! Create a miniature scene from his favorite tale that he can nestle in his bookcase. This project is one of my favorite DIY Father’s Day gifts, and is sure to impress!
With all of these great Father’s Day gift ideas you can make with our Cricut, you’re sure to find the perfect project to show Dad your love (and have so much fun in the process)!
