Bowl Dad Over With Fathers Day Gift Ideas From The Heart

His little ones are still too young to buy Dad their own Father's Day present, but we all know that's where Mum steps up.

Sorry Mums, but this one's up to you!

The great thing about creating an online collage is that it can be turned into a fun activity to enjoy with the kids.

And they will love it because they get to use the computer!

Browse through all the digital photos stored in your family library and invite the kids to pick out the ones they love the best - the ones they think Dad would love to have included in a canvas collage.

Sure it's risky business, but remember it's their collage and he'll understand why there's a photo included where he and the kids have food all over their faces.

This gift is sure to be one he'll display in his office at work - that's where all his most treasured possessions end up.

The message is beautiful too, if you were blessed with at least one boy and one girl.

If you were blessed differently, simply use one of our Traditional, Modish or Silhouette collage templates instead.

Everyone loves a three generations photo and the boys are no different, so get the rowdy gang together for three times the fun then print the photos onto an exciting collage.

This traditional collage has plenty of opportunities for a massive eight photos, with plenty of room in the centre for a personalised message.

You can choose any words you like, but to easily create this image be sure to try Canva, a tool that simplifies the process of designing a graphic like this.

When deciding on a background colour, opt for something bright and bold then keep the font large and legible.

If the Dad in your life has been blessed with a daughter rather than a son, well it's time to mix things up a bit. Nothing wrong with that!

The bonus with this template is you can write absolutely anything you want in that centre space, so there's no need to limit yourself to this idea.

The even better bonus with this gift is you can kill two birds with one stone. Print this same print twice and, on Father's Day, give one to Dad and one to Granddad!

Genius!

Get the kids together to think of all the things Dad loves the most - it could be beer, barbeques, car racing, playing video games, fishing, playing golf ...

Then source images of these various items and activities to create an awesome collage of all his favourite things.

Don't forget to include photos of the family - you (his lovely wife) and them (his beautiful kids)! 

This modish design has an abundance of frames to fill - 17 to be exact. In fact, in our range, it's the collage with the most frames.

The bonus is that 17 frames costs the same as a canvas with one frame, so you get to display a bunch of different photos in a really effective way while remaining affordable.

The wonderful thing about this collage idea is that, once you've filled it, it actually ends up looking more like a work of art that a 'family portrait' as such.

You can even repeat a few of the same photos across the design to give it a further artistic style.

Either way, Dad will appreciate the inspiration this gift brings him. He's just a big softie, afterall.

Recently married? This Father's Day gift will surprise and delight your Dad. In fact, it may make him teary all over again.

The idea is to build a glass wall display of photos of those special moments you shared with Dad on your wedding day.

The large frame provides a space where you can include a quote from the heart. 

"Daddy, of all the walks we’ve taken together, this one is my favourite."

And then include your name and the date of your wedding.

You can create this design using a tool like Adobe Photoshop or, if you're not great with graphic design, the online Canva tool will enable you to design something suitable.

Collages open up a whole extra world of personalisation possibilities as they let you fill a number of different frames with whatever images you choose.

A range of collage templates can be found in four key collections: traditional, themed, modish and silhouette.

This simple two-panel design, featured, is part of our traditional collection. Even a simple design like this gives you the opportunity to include a 'hero' photo and then a personalised message.

A hero photo is simply one of the most favourite photos you have in your personal digital library. Pick something your father or your child's father will love the most.

It could be a photo with his kids or grandkids or perhaps a photo of the whole family.

To create the exciting frame underneath, visit Canva and create a design there choosing whatever words you like!

Choose a background colour to match a colour that appears in the hero photo. It's amazing how much impact that one design trick can make.

Download the image from Canva, save it as a jpeg or png then upload it to the CanvasApp. He'll love it!

As we get older, it often gets harder to find gifts for our fathers. Gone are the days of hand-made cards. Often we shout Dad to lunch and beer at the pub and that's about it.

He's not fussy. He loves a good pub lunch. However, if you really want to give a gift with meaning, try a canvas wall display.

Think of the things you love doing together - it could be going to the football, playing golf or bushwalking. Whatever hobby you share, capture it on camera and print it to canvas.

This is one gift he won't be able to help but love. He may tell you that you "shouldn't have", but he will feel truly appreciated. And every good Dad deserves that!
