It was nearly a hundred years ago when the first Father’s Day was celebrated. Today it feels like a tradition we cannot live without. Dad’s special day is just around the corner and what do you give to dear old dad who seems to have everything? Another tie, dress shirt or scarf just won’t do. The best dads in the world have also received too many electronic gadgets.

After a hundred years, we seem to be running out of ways to show dads how much we love them. Don’t panic. As the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts. You might consider some non-traditional ideas that are inexpensive and will put a smile on your father’s face. Perhaps a day of wine tasting at a great resort or a trip to Vegas might be just what he’s looking for.

Great post and suggestions. I know my father doesn’t need anymore ties or mugs. He loves any kind of gift that gives him a chance to relax. Now that we are older and out of the house, I know he also appreciates anytime we can all be together!
