A Short History of Father’s Day
Did you know Father’s Day was first celebrated in 1910? It was started by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honour her father - a single parent who raised six children after his wife’s death. Inspired by a Mother’s Day sermon, she felt fathers deserved a dedicated day too! And she wasn’t alone - the idea caught on, and now it’s a tradition that families celebrate all across the world.
Why Personalised Gifts?

From a sweet gift to something that can be treasured forever, it will make him think of you every time he looks at it.
