Fathers Day Eggs: A Unique and Personalised Gift Idea

Rethinking Fathers Day Gifts

Finding the perfect gift for Father’s Day can be a real challenge. Dads are notoriously tricky to buy for, and while socks, mugs, and BBQ tools have their place, sometimes you're after something with a bit more surprise and sentiment. That’s where Fathers Day eggs come in: a playful, creative and often customisable gift idea that puts a new twist on celebrating Dad.

At Make It Personal, we offer a range of fillable plastic eggs, with many offering the option for personalisation. These eggs are more than just containers; they’re an opportunity to craft a gift experience that’s meaningful, memorable, and just a bit magical.

What Are Fathers Day Eggs?

Fathers Day eggs are large plastic fillable eggs that can be personalised and filled with treats, messages, or small gifts. Think of them as a cross between a surprise gift box and a time capsule with a personal touch. Unlike traditional gift wrapping or baskets, these eggs offer a more engaging unwrapping experience.

They're also completely reusable, making them an eco-conscious option. Rather than throwing away paper and packaging, your egg can be repurposed for storage, display or reused for future occasions.

These eggs come in a variety of sizes and colours, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your vision for Father’s Day. Whether you're planning a big surprise or a small token of appreciation, there's a Fathers Day egg that fits perfectly.

Explore the Range: Sizes for Every Surprise

One of the great things about shopping with Make It Personal is the variety. Our collection includes eggs in several sizes to suit different gifting needs. Whether you’re planning something huge or keeping it small and sweet, you’ll find the right fit.

Giant Fathers Day Egg

If you really want to make a statement, go for the giant Fathers Day egg. This egg is perfect for holding multiple items or larger gifts. These eggs can fit:

• A bottle of Dad's favourite tipple
• A T-shirt or cap
• A full-size chocolate bar selection
• A bundle of snacks, gadgets, or toiletries
• A heartfelt letter and card

The sheer size adds to the impact. Dads will love the spectacle of cracking open an oversized egg to reveal a collection of thoughtful gifts inside. These are ideal for the show-stopper gift that starts with a smile and ends with genuine appreciation.

Large Fathers Day Egg

A step down in size, the large Fathers Day egg is just right for a curated selection of gifts without going over the top. These eggs have plenty of room for:

• A coffee mug or reusable water bottle
• A combination of favourite snacks and a keyring
• Mini photo album or prints
• Beard oil and grooming accessories

It's the perfect option for balancing volume and presentation without feeling overwhelming. These also look fantastic on display and make a bold visual impression.

Small Fathers Day Egg

The small Fathers Day egg is ideal for something compact but packed with heart. These surprisingly spacious eggs can hold:

• A small selection of luxury chocolates
• A pair of novelty socks
• A scratch card or gift voucher
• A compact tech gadget like wireless earbuds or a charging cable

Don’t underestimate the potential of these smaller eggs. With the right touches, they can deliver a moment that’s just as powerful as the larger options.

Make It Personal: Add Your Own Message

You can really show you care and create something special when you personalise gifts for father day. What truly sets many of these gifts apart is the personalisation options available. A selection of Fathers Day eggs on the Make It Personal website include the option to add a message, name, or greeting.

Available personalisation features vary by product and may include:

• Dad's name or nickname
• A short phrase like "No.1 Dad" or "You're Eggstra Special!"
• A personal message or quote from the kids
• Choice of colour combinations and fonts

It’s this extra layer of thoughtfulness that transforms a simple plastic egg into something with lasting emotional value. Long after the gifts inside have been used or eaten, the egg itself remains a keepsake that Dad can use year after year.

Creative Fill Ideas for Fathers Day Eggs

One of the joys of using fillable eggs is the creative freedom they offer. Whether you want to go silly, sentimental, or totally unique, the inside of the egg is your canvas and makes for the perfect diy fathers day gift. Here are some expanded filling ideas broken down by category:

Sentimental Fillers

• A handwritten letter telling Dad what he means to you
