What are your budget friendly fathers' day ideas?

[KAPTink]

Just wondering what everyone is doing/gifting those dads and grandpas...

for my husband, we're getting some ribeyes and grilling out. for him, steak is the best gift of all !

for my dad, we ordered him some jars of BBQ sauce from Dreamland in Alabama.... it's literally THE best BBQ sauce in the world ! My dad could drink that stuff from the jar. so, for him, THAT will be the gift that keeps on giving....

but those are our two ideas that stay within our budget....not a huge gift giving year for anyone!

Back in May we already gave DH his gift - waders and other fishing gear

But just to have a little something to open on the day, we got him two polo shirts from Kohls.

DH always gives his father the gift of a day out fishing together.

other ideas, make the men their favorite meal, buy them a DVD or a gift card to the movie theatre.

DH is going to $1 beer night baseball game w/ a buddy & I am picking him up afterwards.

On the actual day, he has requested pork tenderloin & cheesy potatoes. I will have the kids make him a card & they want to find him a #1 Dad shirt or hat. We will also make his favorite yellow cake w/choc frosting.

Low cost but he's very easy to please & we just returned from Disney!

I'm using something similar to this recipe for the kids to make DH a tin of "Dad" trail mix.
Father's Day MIx
Raisin's cause you're raisin' me
Goldfish 'cause you are the BIG fish in the sea
Cheezit's 'cause you're the BIG cheese
Pretzels 'cause you guide me in all life's twists and turns
Chocolate chips 'cause I'm the chip off the old block!
Chex 'cause you are always chexin' up on me.
Froot Loops for all our loopy times together
Nuts cuz it's fun when your a little nutty.
Teddy Grahams for all the bear hugs you give me
Popcorn 'cause you are my POP!
We might tweak it a little but that's the basic idea
He will probably get the newest book in the series he's reading from me and then a day of favorite foods, cinnamon rolls, fruit and bacon for breakfast, hoagies and doritos for lunch and steak for dinner.

For grandpa I think we will do choclates and a box with fish hooks and lures in it and the saying "hooked on you grandpa" because he's taking the kids on a fishing trip this summer.

We're making Daddy a Star Wars kit that I saw on this blog:

I think for my husband, we will give him a new swim suit and a shirt. For my dad, he only likes gifts you can eat, drink, or spend. So I will get him some nice beer that he wouldn't normally buy for himself. We won't break the bank. My husband and I just had our 25 year anniversary. He gave me a beautiful ring and I let him buy some hunting gear.

I am going to buy a nice white t shirt and the boys will decorate it with fabric markers. My DH will wear it with his p.j. shorts. We made a few other shirts for Father's Day when my kids were younger. My DH still uses the one he received in 2005 He loves to cook so I bought a white apron and they decorated it with markers too. This year my DS are older so it will be interesting to see what they are going to write and draw on it. I have a few other gifts for him, too.
