How to Plan the Most Relaxing Father\u2019s Day for Dad<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Give the gift of comfort!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Let dad know your plans for Father\u2019s Day the night before. Then surprise him with something comfortable to spend the day in. He\u2019ll want to put his feet up, so consider a <\/span>luxurious bathrobe<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>pajama pants<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>fun pajama set<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>silly T-shirt<\/span><\/a> — a thoughtful little present he can lounge in all day long.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Make a plan for the kids.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Have a late breakfast together, so dad can sleep in. The kids will be eager to give dad their gifts and he\u2019ll get plenty of Father\u2019s Day hugs before you depart for the day. Plan to spend the afternoon out. Take the kids to a playdate, the park, a movie, an arcade, to visit their grandparents\u2026 anything to keep them busy for the day so dad can have the house to himself on Father\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served.<\/span><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s Father\u2019s Day without steak? <\/span>Steak and eggs<\/span><\/a> for breakfast sounds super fancy, but it\u2019s a surprisingly quick and easy meal to make. Other easy breakfast ideas: <\/span>Easy Steak & Egg Bake<\/span><\/a> or this epic \u201c<\/span>breakfast hoagie<\/span>\u201d that can be made on a baguette to feed a family! Since you\u2019ll be out for most of day, keep it simple and have all his favorite sandwich fixings ready to go in the fridge: cured meats, cheeses, quality bread, and all the toppings! For dinner,\u00a0<\/span>consider firing up the slow cooker or reheating a no-fuss pre-made dish like <\/span>baked ziti<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>chili<\/span><\/a>, or a frozen pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Everything within arm\u2019s reach.<\/span><\/h3>\n

For an extra-thoughtful touch, set up his favorite spot on the couch so everything is within arm\u2019s reach: his favorite drink, <\/span>slippers<\/span>, an assortment of snacks, books, magazines, newspaper, and the remote of course! Be sure to include a comfy pillow and a blanket as well. If you want to be cute, throw in an eye mask for that inevitable afternoon nap! He\u2019ll appreciate that you remembered his faves and went the distance to ensure a day of complete relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Dinner and a movie.<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you return from your day out, simply reheat dinner and settle in with newly \u201czenned-out\u201d dad. Continue the pampering and let him pick a movie for the family to watch or pick a game for a game night. If you opted not to give him a gift yet, this would be the perfect time to surprise him with matching family pajamas<\/a>\u00a0(the family that lounges together…).\u00a0Whatever you choose to do on Sunday evening, spending a relaxing night with his favorite people beats a crowded steak house every time. <\/span>For more gift ideas or inspiration for family activities, visit us at <\/span><\/i>thepajamacompany.com\/blog<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
