HGTV‘s “Home Town” star Ben Napier has some pretty laid-back plans for Father’s Day, but he said he wouldn’t want to do it any other way. Find out what Erin Napier and their girls have planned for Ben!
Ben Napier’s Father’s Day Tradition Stars With Breakfast
In a June 2025 interview with Country Living, Napier was asked how his Father’s Day typically plays out.
“The girls usually do French toast,” he said. “Helen, the older one, could probably do it herself, but Erin likes to make it for me, so they all make it together.”
Napier continued, “I love it with just white sandwich bread, but she’ll probably use some fancy bread for a special occasion, which I’m not gonna say no to. I’ve never met French toast I didn’t like.”
While Napier said he doesn’t get gifts, there is one thing he really enjoys — taking a drive.
“We have a small collection of classic cars — none of them are crazy valuable. We have a ’95 Range Rover Classic, we have a ’99 Suburban,” he shared. “We have my old truck that I drive on the show. None of them are some hundred-thousand-dollar collector car that we only drive three days a year.”
He noted, “So yeah, then I like to go for a Sunday cruise in one of our old cars and go swimming and either get a summertime drink from Sonic or have ice cream.”
He added, “It’s a relaxed day.”
Ben Napier Shares the Qualities He Hopes They Pass to Their Daughters
When asked about the qualities he hopes he and Erin pass to their girls, Napier pointed to his wife’s imagination.
“I’m going to talk about Erin first and say: imagination,” he said. “Just the way that she sees the work world is absolutely incredible and at the same time can be paralyzing for her because she’s extremely creative and her imagination runs rampant.”
He noted, “While she is capable of imagining and creating the most beautiful things ever, she’s also capable of imagining and creating the scariest and most devastating things ever and the most beautiful outcome, the most beautiful version of what is capable, both in themselves and in other people and in the world.”
Napier shared one of the qualities he feels he’s best at: “I am very good at living in the moment.”
“And so I hope that from me our daughters inherit that ability to be present in what is happening, because, you know, what happened yesterday, it’s over,” the “Home Town” star explained. “Learn from it. And who knows what’s going to happen tomorrow. You can’t control it.”
He added, “But in my experience, everything’s going to be okay.”
