Dad!
Don't you just love him? Ask him what he wants for Father's Day and he says, "Nothing!" If you buy him underwear or a tie, you feel inadequate. If you try to find something special, he'll say you spent too much money. At least my dad would. But let's not go there!
The first Father's Day was June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington (at least it says so on the net). It became a national holiday in 1924, and its designation as the third Sunday of June happened in 1966 when Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed it so. How did it happen, you query? Well, this woman, Mrs. Dodd, started the ball rolling. Her father had been a Civil War veteran and had raised six children on his own. When she presented the idea, the citizens of Spokane jumped on it, and soon it was being celebrated across America. Thank you Mrs. Dodd.
Here are some great ideas!
Theme Ideas
With some creative doings, you can change any of these into a special Father's Day soiree!
Another great idea is a handyman theme if Dad is always fixing things around the house. Check out our
Father's Day Tool
Sale. Dads also love toys, and toys often mean electronics. Check out
Amazon.com's Top Selling Electronics
Things to Do for Dear Old Dad
Anything Dad would have to do, because it's Father's Day, you can do for him. Imagine the points you'll score no matter how old you are. If you can't do them on Father's Day, make him a
coupon book he can later redeem. So what if you're 50 and he's 80? He'll still get a kick out of it.
- Mow the lawn
- Pull weeds
- Wash the car
- Wash the windows
- Wash the porch furniture
- Gas up the car
- Repay an IOU
Gifts
A caricature of Dad including all of his favorite things—he'll love it. Frame it and let him take it to work!
Personalized
candy bars wrappers.
Gift baskets - whether you're home or away from home, a gift basket can mean hours of enjoyment for your father. For instance, if he is a junk food junkie, look at our
Junk Food Basket filled with cookies, shortbread and more. These also make great centerpieces. Here are some others…
- Cheese and Crackers
- cheeses, salmon, crackers, cookies.
- A Toast To You
- fruit, crackers and cheese
- Fruit Bowl Box
- chocolate, fruit slices, wafers
- MVP
- sports, sports and more sports: caramel corn, nuts, pretzels and more
- Thank You
- candies, cookies and biscuits
- Thanks a Million
- cookies, crackers and wafers
- Golf
- "hole in one" cookies, crackers and a practice golf ball (whatever that is)!
- A Dad Who's Up to Par
- tees, golf ball and snacks
