The short answer
A great gift for dad from the kids is a personalized trading card of them, with each kid's message behind the card's QR code. A Display Card in a case is $29.99; a 10-card Pack ($49.99) gives every kid their own card. Behind each card's QR code: a note, a drawing, or a video link, added after you order.
Ideas dads actually keep

His favorite people, on cards he'll keep on the desk. A 10-card Pack covers every kid in one order, each with their own photo and details.
A card of Dad, made by the kids
The grill master, the coach, the guy with the car: the kids pick the photo and write his "stats".
Each kid's message behind it
A note, a drawing, or a short video of the kids saying why he's the best, behind each card's QR code.
From a toddler
A card of the little one, with a video of their first "I love you, Daddy" linked behind it.

What goes behind the QR code?+
Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card. You can add the story behind it, more photos from that day, links (a highlight video, a playlist, a shared album), and a note the person who gets it finds when they scan it. Only people with the card or its link can open the page, and the owner can make it private. The printed code never changes, so the page can be updated any time.
How much does it cost?+
A single Display Card in a case is $29.99 and a 10-card Card Pack is $49.99. The page behind each QR code is included with every card. Designing is free.
