Father's Day 2008
Father's Day was first celebrated in 1909. Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman
whose father, William Smart, had brought her and her five brothers and sister up
single handedly, wanted to make an occasion to celebrate all that her father
meant to her.

The story goes that she decided to institute a "Fathers Day" after hearing a
Mother's Day sermon.

The very first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19th 1910.  In 1924, it won
the support of US President Calvin Coolidge.

Father's Day is now celebrated as a national holiday in the USA and is observed
around the world.

If you're wondering what date Father's Day is this year, Father's Day 2008 is on
15th June.

The date of Father's Day is always the 3rd Sunday of June

Personalized Fathers Day Gifts
By Ken Marlborough

Like all celebrations in honor of relatives, Father's Day is a very personal and
private celebration. Therefore, personalized gifts are one of the best ways to
add a personal touch to the time-revered concept of showing love and respect
to one's father.

Various personalized gifts are available for Father's Day. Some of the most
common are personalized photo frames, accompanied with a picture of the
children and/or a Father's Day poem. Also, one can get a compilation of favorite
poems and literature, a novel or any other books, and give them.

One can also give various male accessories after embossing them with a
personalized message or the father’s name. These gifts include cigarette cases
and wallets. A monogrammed watch is also a good bet for a Father's Day
personalized gift. Other accessories like cuff links, night suits and handkerchiefs
can also be given after having them monogrammed with personal messages or
names.

Traveling dads will be happy to receive gifts like torches, traveling bags, or
traveling shaving kits with special messages or names carefully embossed on
them. Hand-made cards with special messages, chocolates or other surprises
also help in reminding dad of the special times you had together. Various
handwritten cards offer special messages to be written on the cards.

For the golf lovers, there are various monogrammed golf accessories like golf
balls, horseshoe sets and bocce sets.

Gift baskets are another great idea for personalized gifts on Father's Day. Make
a collection of things your father likes and put them together into a gift basket.
