June 21st, 2009 Continuing The Fathers Day Tradition 

Father's Day is observed worldwide as a way to celebrate fatherhood and parenting. It was established to honor or commemorate fathers in the same fashion as Mother's day. The United States celebrated its’ first modern Father's Day celebration on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. Father's Day is now celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June, although other countries across the globe observe the holiday on various dates throughout the year. This year Fathers Day will be commemorated on June 21^st.

Unique Gift Ideas For Dad

Father’s Day 2009 may be the perfect opportunity for you to really show your father or father figure how much he means to you. The traditional gift of a tie is boring. However personalized gifts and flowers are great way to let your father know you appreciate him.

This year come up with a unique approach to your dad's gift. Think about why you appreciate him so much and then write down all the things you appreciate about him. Writing a letter, or a note in a card is a start but there are more ways to show your love and thankfulness. A more pronounced way to show your gratitude is to framed your poem and present it to your father during Father’s Day dinner. For dad's who live far away, coordinate with his local florist and send the framed poem in a gift basket with tasty treats. Either way it will become a priceless Fathers Day gift. Show your father you love him on father’s day by spending the day together. Does your father love to fish? Load up the poles and spend a day on the lake together. This does not cost very much, but will be appreciated and remembered forever.

So, make sure your father will remember this Father’s Day forever, with a unique and from-the-heart Father’s Day gift!
