Fathers Day Attire and Gifts

The first ever fathers day was held on 5th July 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia. The idea came about after the Monongah mining disaster killed 361 men, 250 of which were fathers so it was suggested to the local pastor that all these fathers be honoured. However it wasn't made into a permanent national holiday until 1972 when president Richard Nixon swore it into law.

Fathers day this year is on Sunday 19th June, so if you are wondering what to buy your dad this fathers day look no further.
