Father & Son: The Perfect Gift for Father's Day

My husband spends a lot of time at work. There’s certainly many days where he doesn’t get to see the kids because he’s working late or has an event to attend. Artwork (made by the kids) and photographs displayed in his office are one way he keeps connected to his family while at work. And as a elementary/middle school principal – it’s a nice way for him to connect with students and parents, as well. This year, I decided to take one of his favorite photos of himself and my son to put on a canvas as a surprise Father’s Day gift. The photo, seen here, really embodies their relationship – playful, fun…a great father-son relationship.

It’s hard to believe that this is the same little baby that would fall asleep on his chest. Time passes so quickly. And in another 3 or 4 years, I know we’ll be looking back at this canvas thinking how small and little he looked, able to jump on his daddy’s back. And even further into the future when the two are the same height, the photo will represent a bond forever.

So, when I wanted to create the best gift for a great Dad, I headed to Snapfish. Here, you can create personalized photo gifts for Father’s Day, or any occasion. They have everything imaginable for today’s dad. They understand the fresh perspective on fatherhood and that he deserves gifts that are personal, inspirational and imaginative. Some of the many products include tabletop panels, cards, books, mugs, photo aprons, framed prints, canvases and so much more. It’s the perfect way to honor that special father, grandfather or uncle with a gift that is unique and personal.

To create my gift, I uploaded my original, high quality image and chose my photo gift. I chose a black framed canvas for a big impact. I love that we can mount it on the wall or it can be on his desk. I could not be happier with the quality and design. It’s so well-done and will be something he has for years and years to come.

To present our gift, we’re going to put it in his office. It’s an easy, no -wrap option. We know he won’t be expecting to see it and the surprise of seeing it in a special place will make it even more meaningful this Father’s Day. Now, when he looks at his photo, surrounded by many of the items that help tell a story of their bond (countless football games together, baseball practice, time spent together having fun), he’ll always be reminded of what a great relationship they have, now and forever.
