Easy Homemade Father’s Day Gifts

FOX News recently ran a story on how dads typically get the shaft on Father’s Day. According to those interviewed for the story (mainly bitter fathers), when it comes to showing dad how much we love him, neckties, paperweights, and key chains, usually say it all. Conversely on Mother’s Day, mom is showered with flowers, jewels and trips to the spa. Growing up, my dad insisted that all Father’s Day gifts be strictly homemade.

Father’s Day Photo Gift Ideas

Years ago when I was working at a local TV station one of the meteorologists showed up the day after Father’s Day proudly sporting the gift he received from his two young daughters—a silk screen tie featuring a picture of them sitting in a tree. Yes, he wore it on the air, and yes, I’m sure it delighted his daughters tremendously. At the time I couldn’t help but think of the millions of other dads, who while grateful for the thought put into the gift, would never have done the same thing. To each his own I guess.
