I think a lot of thought and effort often goes into Mother’s Day. We need to make sure those fathers don’t get forgotten. Making a special gift is always appreciated. There are so many things that you can do, the most special being what kids can make themselves. These last-minute Father’s Day gifts are natural, healthy, fun, and really celebrate dads in multiple ways.
7 DIY Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts
Every guy is different, so I’ve put together 7 DIY gifts that don’t take long to make. And with 2 -3 day shipping these days you can pick up ingredients online or stop by a local shop (they need our support too ) and make any of these gifts last minute.
1. Car Air Fresheners
Car air fresheners are fun and easy last minute Father’s Day gifts. Even little bitty kids can make these for daddy by helping to design and cut out felt for these air fresheners or fill jars with baking soda. All that you need is some essential oils and something to put them on that will help the scent to last for a week or two in the car.
My husband still uses his air freshener gift from years ago and just brings it in every once in a while to get the scent refreshed. Just find out dad’s favorite scent!
Find out how to make them HERE.
2. Beard Oil
Beard oils are always a fun gift for dad.
You can combine oils that help to condition beard hair and add a gentle scent at the same time. Just use a few drops of essential oils for this recipe, no more. That scent is going to be right by his nose, so it needs to be light.

3. After Shave
If the dad in your life shaves, then a natural after shave is a wonderful gift. An after shave is something that will calm shaved facial skin and close pores. With a little bit of scent, it can also uplift and be an enjoyable part of the morning or evening routine.
Get the recipe HERE.
OR buy it in my my shop.
4. Natural Cologne
Natural cologne can be made in a 2oz glass dropper bottle or in a roller bottle for ease of use.
Kids love to pick out scents that they think dad will enjoy. They can take him some essential oils to smell without telling him what they are doing. I’m sure they’ll find that exciting to tease him a little bit.
If you’d like some scent combination ideas, click HERE. Add sweet almond oil to your 2oz dropper bottle, then add essential oils of choice.
OR buy cologne for dad in my shop.
5. Aromatherapy Roller Bottle
Does dad have allergies, stressful days, or have trouble sleeping? Here are a few roller bottle blends that can be made to help him out. These are quick and easy last minute Father’s Day gifts that show that you were thinking about his needs and care about him.
I also have a number of these blends, plus others in my shop.
6. Camping Set
If you have a dad who loves to go hiking and camping, putting together a camping gift set is fun and easy.
- Start with a Natural Bug Spray. This is a healthy must that he’ll really appreciate. Get the recipe HERE (or, you guessed it, you can buy some in my shop).
- Get a Stainless Steel mug and paint your own design on the outside.
- Include a great camping knife.
- Add a great light. This one is fun because it a fan attached to it.
- And what’s camping without a hammock? Or…at least my kind of camping.
All this, or even some of it, put together makes a super great camping gift set for dad.
7. Hot Processed Soap
Soap usually takes a few weeks to cure so that it’s finished saponifying and hardens. But if you hot process soap, you’ll be about to use the soap the very next day!
These soap recipes have scents that guys usually love. Use these same recipes, but hot process them instead of following the directions for cold process. If you need to learn how to hot process soap, you can learn how to do it here.
I hope these last minute Father’s Day Gifts are inspirational and help you to create a memorable, special gift to show dad how much he’s appreciated.
Enjoy!
