Last-Minute Father's Day Inspo

Procrastinator's guide to Father's Day 2025

Hello, Gorgeous!

I have good intentions. SUCH good intentions. But then life and work pick up speed and I’m scrambling to keep up. Also, it’s 10 years ago today that I lost my own dad, so I guess things are hitting me a bit harder than I thought.

Here’s the thing. You don’t have to buy your father anything for Father’s Day. Just give him a hug and remind him that you appreciate him and things should be fine. Or buy him something silly. Or make him something delicious. And just in case you don’t have a dad anymore —or don’t much care for the one with whom you share DNA— you can choose your own daddy or zaddy or some variation thereof. So if you have an adored guy role model and mentor (Hi Jack!) or beloved boy bestie (Hey, Ken!) consider celebrating them with something cute or thoughtful.

And to be honest, you don’t have to buy them anything just because the calendar thinks you should. These are simply great any time of year treats for the father figure in your life.

Who's Your Zaddy?

Befo…
