Homemade gifts are the most treasured gifts.

With Father's Day this weekend, I am sure the younger kids have made things for dad at school. These gifts have so much more meaning than store bought gifts.

I have another simple homemade gift idea I wanted to share with you. It can be used for many different occasions - Father's Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

- Print out and cut into small strips of paper (like the ones you see in Chinese fortune cookies)

- Put the little strips of paper in a jar or box.

My daughters did this a few years ago and my husband really liked it. These are some examples of what they wrote about their dad:

- I like how he has grown up - Sophia

- He is so sweet - Ava

- He drives us to our favorite places like Dutch Wonderland - Sophia

- He is so handsome - Ava

It is simple and meaningful gift… a creative and wonderful keepsake.

Happy Father’s Day to all!
