Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby
Whatever the reasons may ultimately be, a lot of confusion exists around the celebration of "DAD" on Father's Day.
Whether our client is honoring their father, their step-father, uncle, brother, or even that special "father figure" in their life...if they are struggling, it typically all comes down to two questions: 1.) "When is Father's Day anyway?" and 2.) "What in the world do I get my dad for Father's Day?"
When is Father's Day?
Father's Day is celebrated woldwide on various dates throughout the year, although the majority of countries, including the U.S., celebrate Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June...
2009 - Sunday, June 21st
2010 - Sunday, June 20th

What to get Dad for Father's Day?
Don't stress. I think most dads would agree that the best gift of all would be the opportunity to spend time together. But if that is not possible, and if you've decided to purchase a gift for Father's Day, a little bit of planning goes a long way and ensures that you don't have to settle for last-minute "just" gifts (ie. "I'm just going to get him _____.")
Start by collecting a few facts:
A.) What does your dad like to do (favorite hobbies and activities)? Is he a sports nut, golfer, outdoor enthusiast, movie buff, biker, chocoholic?
B.) Has he dropped any hints lately (favorite new restaurant, broken tool, concert coming to town, etc.)
C.) What is your budget?
Now that you have a general theme, direction and budget...get creative! Remember, you don't have to "go big" or spend a lot of money to make a big impression; think Timing, Customization and Personalization.
