As a result, a lot of fathers and potential fathers are getting comfortable with the idea of getting gifts on father’s day. Truth be told, they deserve it.

The most important factor to consider when deliberating on an ideal father’s day gift is whether or not the person you are gifting will appreciate and enjoy using the gift. Before we go too far into the topic of gift giving on father’s day, let’s touch on the history of Father’s day.

History of Father’s Day

The third Sunday in June every year has been set aside for celebrating fathers and father figures in our lives. This celebration doesn’t only include actual fathers but also men that have played an active and helpful role in the growth and development of a child’s life. He could be a father, stepfather, uncle, grandfather, brother, son, or even a total stranger such as a mentor. As long as they are present and take an active role in the development of the child’s life, they deserve to be celebrated.

However, what is the story behind the celebration? The world has been celebrating Father’s Day for over 100 years now. On the 19th of June, 1910, a certain Sonora Dodd of Spokane in Washington, injunction with the Ministerial Alliance and her pastor at the Spokane YMCA started the campaign for the celebration of Father’s Day throughout the city.

Mrs. Sonora chose this day so that her father and other fathers like hers can be celebrated for their service and sacrifice. Her father, William Smart, had raised and taken care of a family of six children after her mother had died from the birth of their sixth child. As a result, she campaigned for the celebration of fathers on the day, an idea she had during a Mother’s day speech.

Also, in 1916 during the First World War, US President Woodrow Wilson made a speech at the Father’s day celebration to make it an official holiday. However, Congress opposed the idea due to the fear that the holiday will become too commercialized and thus lose its meaning and relevance. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge declared his open support for the holiday and President Lyndon Johnson 1966 signed an order proclaiming the third Sunday of June Father’s Day. President Richard Nixon 1972 completed the process by signing a proclamation for the official observance of Father’s Day. As a result of that proclamation, Father’s day is celebrated every third Sunday in June or on the 19th of June in over 50 countries including Ireland.
