Do you need ideas and inspiration for cheap gifts for dad?

Great gifts for dad don't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Whatever the occasion it is, giving your father a present is really about the attention he gets that makes him feel truly special, and if you're short on funds, you can still make sure that he has a wonderful day and enjoys whatever gift you choose to give him. However, it IS going to take a little bit of creativity to leave your dad feeling as special as he really is.

Gift ideas from little ones

When you're giving gifts from little ones, the task to come up with some fun ideas of cheap gifts for dad can be much easier. Dads know that young children don't have money, so it's pretty unlikely that your five year old is going to go out and drop a bunch of cash on a great big gift. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't put effort forth in planning dad's gift, though. Here are some ideas for cheap gifts for dad to get you started:

• Paint a t-shirt. Choose a good quality t-shirt and let your kids get into it. They can use their hands and make handprints, or you can let them draw pictures with fabric paint. Even if dad doesn't use it, he's sure to love the effort that was put into it for this gift.
  
  
• If the dad in your life is a fisherman, go to a craft store and get a container for a tackle box and let the kids decorate it. You can use paint, stickers, and anything else that you see, and none of it is going to cost very much. You can do this with pouches for tool belts, too.
  
  
• Have the kids make a pen holder for dad to keep on his desk. You can use a glass jar and have them paint it, or you can even use any old cup and wrap it with fabric. This is a fun to make and inexpensive gift for dad.

Gift ideas from those who are a little bit older

The idea of getting cheap gifts for dad when you've gotten a little bit older can seem frustrating. What do you give, and how do you make sure that it's the best gift ever and doesn't look cheap and tacky? Is it really possible to make a great idea into a great gift?

The answers to these questions have to do with the time that you're willing to put into the project, so giving great cheap gifts for dad can take some planning, but will be very well worth it in the long run.

• One idea for cheap gifts for dad is to make him a CD. You can choose any theme you want, and whether you're going to take him for a walk down memory lane or you're going to remind him of all the great songs that the two of you listened to together as you were growing up, this is a great idea for the music lover in your life. Be sure to make one for yourself too, because this will be a gift to treasure. Personalize it even more by adding a little note or a list of the songs and what each one means to you.
  
  
• Computer savvy and not so computer savvy people can easily create a photo montage of life with dad. Include all kinds of pictures with the two of you, but don't forget to include photos of family and activities as well. He's sure to treasure this.
  
  
• Need more ideas for cheap gifts for dad? How about writing him a book? Even if you're just writing a little book about his history, you can easily write your dad a book that tells him just how much he means to you and it doesn't have to cost a small fortune to do so.

Cheap gifts for dad don't have to be cheap at all, and when you take the time to plan your project, you'll be giving your father a gift that he will love for years to come.
