We all know that Fathers Day arrives only once a year.. .but I think all the Dads out there deserve a little more than being remembered only once a year for how awesome they are!! ... I'm sure if you're a Dad, you'd agree with me ;) So when Father's Day comes around each year, why do so many of us leave the gift buying or card writing until last minute??.. do we hope that maybe they'll forget !! maaaaybe they'll be happy with just a cup of tea & a smile?

As taken from Wikipedia: Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, special dinners to fathers and family-oriented activities

It's becoming obvious that buying the perfect Fathers Day Gift is getting more and more difficult each year - unless you want to rely on the good ol' socks & jocks!! But fear no more - don't resort to the underwear.. Oh, unless it's been REQUESTED!

The fact is, Dad's really aren't too fussy when it comes to receiving presents... but deep down, I believe they're knocked off their socks when they get something (pardon the pun!!). I think every male wants attention - and to have a day about "them" and only them is PERFECT! they love it, even though they may say they don't - I believe every bloke should get a day ALL ABOUT THEM! some may feel uncomfortable about it, but I believe deep down they'll love it :) even getting a present - whether it's a hand made card with a heartfelt poen - or a hot rod or sporting magazine subscription.. hey, even a new mug! I believe they'll love every minute. But don't stop there! try something extra special preferably something else from the heart (or something with a bit of "unique" thought!). If you've got some time up your sleeve (even a week or so) then you've got enough time to get creative.

Perfect opportunity to print a massive pile of family photos & create a fantastic collage of memories - or find someone at your Local shopping centre who can put a great pic on a BIG MUG!! What about an itunes voucher? Or creating a special surprise for lunch - the whole family for a lunchtime picnic down at the park... plus ask a few extra surprise relatives!!!

On your travels throughout our Fathers Day Present website, you'll get an insight into something different ... often going beyond your typical "socks, jocks and playstations"!!!
