Can you believe that Father's Day has officially only been in existence since 1972. It took 4 presidents and a Maine senator to at last make it official. Mother’s Day had been around for nearly 60 years by then. Sonora Smart was the first person to suggest Father’s Day to celebrate her Father who was left to raise his 6 children when his wife died giving birth to their 6th child. It was then proposed to complement Mother’s day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting. Nowadays Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates around the world and typically involves gifting, amazing dinners to fathers, and family-oriented activities. To help in support of Father’s day young members of the YMCA went to church sporting a rose: a red rose to show respect a living father, and a white rose to show respect a deceased one. Oddly enough enough Father's Day was at risk of disappearing from the calendar while Mother's Day was met with excitement, 
Father's Day was often met with laughter. Not all dads are similar! OK, so you’re thinking what in the world can I get my dad for Father’s day? I don’t live at home any more and haven't a clue what he wants. You aren’t really considering purchasing a gift card to Lowe’s or Home Depot are you? That’s about as personal as a another ugly tie. You may not live at home any more, but you probably have a good idea of what your dad favors – is he a beer fan? A chocolate lover? How about a wine connoisseur? I’ve found that on the internet there are plenty of gift that men would definitely like for a gift that are simple to order. I know, maybe you always thought “baskets” were for ladies, but once you look into a beer tub, you will have a new view. If your dad’s personal preferences are for wine, you’ll notice that they can be delivered not only a fine wine of your choice, but also an excellent set of complementary foods that make a very sweet package. These gift baskets for a guy would be the right gift for dear old dad on Fathers day. So let’s say your dad is a coffee drinker and he is also a big snack fan. All you need to do is order Gourmet Chocolate Gift Basket for a man that fits the bill. The most important part of the whole gift is your message on the card attached so be heart-felt. Some on-line gift baskets companies will even custom design that gift basket to really fit your dad’s preferences. http://www.basketsbyrita.com http://www.basketsbyrita.com/Gourmet-Chocolate-Gift-Basket-_p_261.html http://www.twitter.com/basketsbyrita http://www.facebook.com/basketsbyrita
