Dad Gift Ideas

So how did this special holiday come about? According to the Wikipedia, Father's Day was originated by a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd. She was raised by a single parent father whom she wanted to recognize and originally wanted to have the date set at June 5th each year, which was the anniversary of his death. However she apparently didn't give the event organizers enough time to plan the celebration so they had to move it to the 3rd Sunday in June. The First Father's Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910, however it didn't become a national holiday until President Lyndon B. Johnson declared it to be a national holiday in 1966.

So have you given any thought about what to get your dear old dad on Father's Day? Here are just a few ways you can help your father celebrate his special day!

1. Personalized gifts are always well-received. If you want to give your dad a personalized gift for Father's Day, it will most likely be a keepsake that he'll treasure forever!

2. If you find yourself broke, do a favor for Dad. Celebrating Father's Day or any special occasion isn't about how much money you spend on someone. It really is about the thought behind it. If you're a poor college student with limited funds, do a favor for Dad! Mow the lawn, paint the shed, wash the car. Anything that your father would normally do, take that chore off his hands and do it for him! He will appreciate you! (but don't forget to at least get him a card!)
