Are you a good gift giver? I am training my boys to be great gift givers, but father’s Day is always a challenge. We have the cards sorted for you with these fab free print and colour in Father’s Day cards. However, we do find Father’s Day quite a challenge especially as MadDad wants for nothing really. If he needs something then he tends to buy it!

Buying presents can sometimes be not only a worry about what to get but also can get quite expensive. However, there are many ways to save on Father’s Day gifts this year. Discount website Myvouchercodes.co.uk is offering money saving voucher codes on everything dads love from all the top brands. Their Father’s Day Gift Guide includes some great ideas for Green fingered gardening Dad’s to Adrenaline Junkie Dad’s including cool gadgets and tech to offers on BBQ’s and stylish menswear.

We asked MadDad to help and put together this simple list of inexpensive gift ideas for Father’s Day. Remember to make sure you check out Myvouchercodes.co.uk before you buy anything as they have some fabulous savings. I am a real fan as there are so many great seasonal voucher codes available.

I am a great believer in the boys using their pocket money to purchase gifts and am teaching them to plan ahead and make sure they get the best deals. So they will be making sure that they check My Voucher Codes before buying anything. Using their own money ensures that they are careful with it and make it go as far as possible!

Father’s Day Gifts under £10

Chocolates – MadDad is a big Malteezer fan so we will be stocking up with his favourite treats.

Retro Sweets – You can not go wrong with a trip back to a person’s sweet youth. Think of quarters of sweets or perhaps some of their favourite lollies.

Tea or Coffee – Why not treat your Dad to some top quality tea or coffee (depending on their choice). MadDad loves coffee so we have been and treated him to some coffee beans.

Books – MadDad isn’t a huge reader but he does love an autobiography.

Socks – We thoroughly recommend Quiet Rebellion socks. We get MadDad some for Christmas and he loves them. Great quality and so much fun with their surreptitious patterns.

Cook Dad a meal – We always cook MadDad his favourite meal on Father’s Day, so he gets steak, chips, mushy peas and onion rings.

Tie – MadDad wears a suit for work, so a new tie is a great gift.

So that is the present sorted, now for the cards.

We have teamed up with the talented LeslieAnn to bring you two delightful free printable Father’s Day cards to print out and colour.

What I love about these free printable Father’s Day cards to colour are they are suitable for kids of all ages (and adults too). They are super cute and perfect for all the Dads.

Once the cards are coloured in they really are unique. Children love colouring them and I bet any Dad (or GrandDad) would love to find one of these on their pillow on Father’s Day morning.

Colouring Supplies:

I am often asked what products I use and I am a big advocate of using the best supplies you can afford. It is really frustrating to use pencils that keep snapping or refuse to blend well, oh and don’t get me started on pens that bleed through the paper. I always buy the best quality I can afford, not just for me but for my kids too. I want colouring to be a joyful experience. These are mine and the

These are mine and the MiniMad’s suggestions to you. Our tried and tested favourites. When I first started colouring I just pinched the boy’s products, which is why adult colouring is so accessible and over the period of a year I now have my own supplies!

Pens

We are currently loving using Staedtler Triplus colour pens (UK Link/US Link) – they do not bleed through the paper, which is great for adults and kids and they are really bright. Plus you can get different nib sizes (UK LInk/US Link), my niece has the 3mm nib ones (I bought her them for Christmas and she adores them). I also love the way they stand up in the packaging, so you can see the colours.

For a more inexpensive pen, we like the BIC kids coloring pens. These are great with minimal bleed through the paper and last for ages if you forget to put the lid back on (yes I am guilty of this)! (UK Link/US Link).

Pencils

Again we have two distinct favourites. One high quality and the other medium. Staedtler Ergosoft pencils are great value. They are soft and blendable and last really well. These are our go to pencils for pretty much everything (UK Link/US Link), they are not paying me to say this – honest! These are the pencils that the boys use for all their work and colouring too.

If money was no object then it would be Prismacolor pencils. I was introduced to these by the amazing illustrator Jennie Maizels (go check out her sketchbook club, you can thank me later). They are blendable, fantastic colours, durable and everything you could need, but are at the top of the price range. (UK Link/US Link)

Paper

As you are printing off these pages you can control the quality of the paper and unlike colouring books that you buy, you can print one sided (whoop). I print a lot of my pages on standard copier paper and if you have good quality art supplies then that is fine, however, if you are planning on framing or keeping your artwork then it would be better to print on a higher quality of paper. Or if you plan on painting them, then you can print onto inkjet watercolour paper (UK Link/US Link). For standard colouring get some bleed proof paper and use it to print off your pages (UK Link/US Link).

Accessories

You need to have a good quality pencil sharpener for your pencils. I LOVE my standard office supplies one. It can be adjusted to sharpen to a killer point or to a more blunt edge and there is something therapeutic about the crank handle and all the shavings being collected (UK Link/US Link)! We use a Staedtler pencil sharpener for our on the go one and this is the one we keep in pencil cases (UK Link/US Link).The other must have for me is a clipboard. I am often found colouring in downstairs on the sofa on an evening (I try to reduce screens on a night) and rather than rest on a book I use a clipboard (UK Link/US Link).
