Better helps you put the icing on the cupcake for a perfect Father’s Day present.
Unlike Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Pay Day, Father’s Day’s place in the calendar is difficult to pinpoint because it changes from year to year – and, indeed, from country to country. You might think that this gives you a legitimate excuse to forget it, but now you’ve found the internet you won’t need an excuse. Getting your perfect personalised Fathers Day Gifts is but a few clicks away.
To be honest, the chances of anyone who lives within 200 miles of western civilisation forgetting Father’s Day are very slim indeed. The early warning sirens will have given you at least a month’s notice. Card shop windows will be prodding you with subtle capitalised slogans, pubs and restaurants will be advising you to “Book now for Father’s Day”, which is nice of them, and even the new page on your calendar will have that telltale little subheading under the date. And that doesn’t take into account the fact that your dad has started being extra nice to you and asking your mum how she enjoyed Mother’s Day.
But say the card shops all closed down, the pubs were banned from advertising, your calendar and diary have fallen behind the fridge and your dad is on a business trip to the moon. Then how will you know when Father’s Day is?
It’s easy. Ever since the first Father’s Day was proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd in the early 1900s, it has been held on the third Sunday in June. So: in 2008 it’s on 15 June;
In 2009 it will be on 21 June; and in 2010 it will be on 20 June.
Now for the complicated bit. Not every nation follows the “third Sunday in June” rule. The ones that do stick with the rule include most of North and South America, a big chunk of Europe plus China, Pakistan, India, South Africa and the Philippines. However, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium use 29 March.
In Germany it always coincides with Ascension Day, which is forty days after Easter and therefore on a Thursday. It’s also called “Men’s Day”, and is not as much of a family day as is the British Father’s Day; indeed, the men (not necessarily fathers, either) often go off into the countryside an engage in what resembles a pub crawl! Fortunately for the German economy, it’s a public holiday.
In Finland, Norway, Sweden and Estonia, Father’s Day is held on the second Sunday of November, but Denmark holds it on 5 June.
Other major exceptions are Brazil (second Sunday in August) and Australia and New Zealand (first Sunday in September), and there is a smattering of other countries’ Father’s Days or their traditional equivalents throughout the year.
So now you know when it is, you are just left with the exceedingly simple task of deciding what Fathers Day Gifts to get for your No. 1 dad. Well, you need look no further than these very pages, because on the internet you’ll find personalised gifts that will show your old man just how much he means to you. We cover all budgets and styles, from gadgets and golf to magical days out. All you need to know is what country you’re in!

You still buy a card and display it plus you have a few private words with him telling him you miss him.
You could give him a phone card, so he can call you. You could give him stationery & envelopes with stamps on them, so he can write to you. You can give him a picture of you, so he can see your face, your smile. You can write to him every week, keeping him up to date on your life & what you're doing so he won't feel so left out of your life. He will most likely be grateful for any or all of these things – but most of all, you can show him that you care for him, tell him that you love him, no matter what – that will be the biggest gift you can give him.
You are so amazing, it’s unbelievable! If it wasn’t because I had seen that painting getting paint from scrath, I would’ve thought it was the real deal xD
Seriously, I think if you drew an alien spaceship and send it into NASA, and you said it was a picture you had taken, they would believe you xD
Do whatever you are confortable with. No one says you need to celebrate father's day. Personally, I treat every day as if it was mother's day. (I don't really have a father to celebrate this holiday or give my attentions to…his choice)
FATHER'S DAY: Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.
MOTHER'S DAY:The United States celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. In the United States, Mother's Day was loosely inspired by the British day and was imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War. However, it was intended as a call to unite women against war. In 1870, she wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation as a call for peace and disarmament. Howe failed in her attempt to get formal recognition of a Mother's Day for Peace. Her idea was influenced by Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers' Work Days. When Jarvis died in 1907, her daughter, named Anna Jarvis, started the crusade to found a memorial day for women. The first such Mother's Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virginia, on 10 May, 1908, in the church where the elder Ann Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Grafton is the home to the International Mother's Day Shrine. From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states. The holiday was declared officially by some states beginning in 1912. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day, as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war

The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and the earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.
During the 1600's, the early Christians in England celebrated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. By a religious order the holiday was later expanded in its scope to include all mothers, and named as the Mothering Sunday. Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England. – (This should answer the when)
During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.
