I used a couple of these frugal gift ideas for my dad, and they were a hit! 🎁👨👧 I loved that the suggestions were thoughtful and practical without costing a fortune. One of my favorites was putting together a DIY snack basket with all his favorite treats—it was simple to make and he really appreciated the personal touch. 🍿🍫
