Last Minute Father's Day Gifts that Dad is Guaranteed to Love!
Father's Day is this Sunday - How Will You Celebrate?
On the third Sunday of June, families gather to celebrate their fathers and grandfathers. In 1910, the governor of Washington proclaimed the nation’s first “Father’s Day.” However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the US. Father's Day gifts can really be fun.  Maybe it's because it's summer -- a time when people when people are naturally giddy. Or maybe it's because the behavior of TV dads like Homer Simpson, Don Draper or Walter White has lowered the bar of acceptable dad behavior.  Fact is, people buy gifts for their dad that they wouldn't buy anyone else, whether it's a beer opener t-shirt or a golf putter game that looks like the male posterior.
