Julia from Stars & Sunshine created a set of wooden photo blocks for her dad that includes six different pictures of their family.

This would make a fun and meaningful addition to Dad’s office, and even the kiddos would enjoy the picture “puzzles.”

Whether it’s a counter, dresser, or table, most men like to have a designated spot to keep their keys, wallet, and phone. Why not add some style to that tried-and-true spot with a DIY leather valet?

Dad will love the functionality of it, and what says manly like leather?!?

Misty from Brit + Co shares a “fashionable way to roll up your cords” when you travel. Yep, that means no more pulling out a jumbled mess when you reach into your suitcase for your phone charger. Misty was inspired to create her own cord roll from a piece of faux leather by simply making some cuts with an X-acto knife and adding a snap. You can make a large one for Dad to pack in his suitcase on trip and even a smaller one for his briefcase.
