Father’s Day in New Zealand falls on the Sunday 07 September, and it’s the perfect time to pause and celebrate the incredible dads, grandads, and father-figures who shape our lives. It’s not about flashy gifts or store-bought gestures — it’s about showing love in a way that feels real, meaningful, and personal.
And what better way to do that than with a handmade Father’s Day card?
Why a Handmade Father’s Day Card Speaks from the Heart
Dads don’t often ask for much. A hug, a smile, a simple “thank you” — sometimes that’s all it takes. But when those words are written inside a card that has been lovingly handmade, the message carries even more weight.
Unlike mass-produced cards from a big store, handmade cards are created with care, detail, and intention. Every fold, texture, and layer has been chosen thoughtfully, making the card itself a keepsake.
It’s not just a card. It’s a memory.
It’s something Dad can hold onto long after Father’s Day is over.
We have a very Limited but special Father’s Day Collection
I have created a few cards to celebrate the special father figures. If you want to go beyond a gift, think about how you can make the day feel personal. A card can be the centrepiece of something truly meaningful. Here are some simple but heartfelt ideas:
💙 Tuck in a memory – print a photo of you together and slip it inside the card.
💙 Share a moment – plan a walk, coffee outing, or BBQ he’ll enjoy.
💙 Write from the heart – tell him about a favourite memory or something he’s taught you that you’ll never forget.
A hand crafted card may be the perfect way to say: “I love you, and I took the time to choose something as unique as you are.”
