Why do children on fathers' day rack their brains as to what - gift to give dear old dad? An affectionate way to honour him is - to give him the same as you did mum on mothers day.. A simple "I love you" said with flowers on fathers' day is all it will take to make dads day special. Sadly to say, it is not until pocket money is due or a puncture on the bike needs fixing is when dad is recognised in his own home. Well now it is time to put the shoe on the other foot and the kids' wants and needs put to aside - and pointed in the direction of pops.

How do children see their dad - could it be as a part time gardener or handyman around the house? Unfortunately for some kids and recapping on those words "How do children see their dad", then sadly to say, "not a lot", if the man of the house has to work all the hours god sends to put a crust on the table. Fathers' day is the time we thank him for mowing the lawn, mending a fuse and filling our bellies.

Finding the ideal present for dad can be frustrating and especially more so if he has more than fifteen neck ties, socks, slippers or handkerchiefs from previous contributions over the years.

Surprise the man of the house this year on fathers' day and gift him with flowers. Has your dad got green fingers (keen gardener) if so, then daisy seeds/ plants make fabulous presents. If dad is labelled a couch potato by mummy then give him the latest box office DVD or music CD. Consider new frames for his glasses so he does not make a spectacle of himself with the band aid keeping the lens in place. Dads like to read, so a book or magazine on the latest sporting events is an option. An ideal father's day gift is a season ticket to watch his favourite football team or a ticket to Benidorm.

Why not accommodate his sweet tooth (if he has one) with scrumptious candy or chocolate. If daddy drives, why not buy something for his car. Father's day gifts as such can include car accessories like personalized key rings, torch, tinted visors or even cleaning products, these are all very useful items. Regardless of whatever you give dad on fathers' day, no doubt it will be warmly welcomed, but if you want it to be special as it was for mother on mothers' day then give him flowers.

Why most dads are keen gardeners is because "They Love Flowers?"

If dads plans are to celebrate fathers` day dining out with mummy and you believe "three is a crowd" if you tag along, then take a flower and wrap a little foil around the stem and place it in his buttonhole. By doing this you're presence is strong, resulting in a man - feeling so proud with the inner thought that "three is not a crowd"
